Unit Requirements

. Name, theme, grade level, CE311

· One week of activities for each age group found in a typical early childhood center. A general theme should run throughout the units for each age group but will need to be developmentally appropriate for each group. Each “unit” should include a full 5-day lesson schedule and/or lesson set. The unit format should be developmentally appropriate for that age group. You should identify appropriate objectives for each age group and include activities. Allow time for napping, diapering (when age appropriate), and feeding. There are lots of sample schedules online. Be careful not to plagiarize.
