I am so excited to share our Good Night, Gorilla Preschool Curriculum! This 2 week unit will begin on August 29th and is the first book of our preschool curriculum that we will be using for the 2016-2017 year. Over the course of a school year, we will be exploring some of the most well-loved children’s books out there. Head over and read a detailed explanation of our Free Preschool Curriculum if you haven’t gotten the chance to yet!
Everything that you could possibly need to know to participate with us is written in the Good Night, Gorilla Literature Unit Study file, which can be downloaded for free at the end of this post. It also contains over 30 pages of printable activities. There are a ton of helpful tips about preparing the materials located in our Preschool Overview. You can also find a list of our color printer, laminator, etc on that page.
Finally, below are the Supplies + Resources for our Good Night, Gorilla unit:
