Answer 2

Curriculum involves more than just a 'lesson plan'. Curriculum includes the way your classroom is arranged, the types of materials available, etc. Young children learn best through play. As an early childhood educator, you can help guide that learning by interacting with the children.

For instance-Little Johnny just built a tower-you could ask him how many blocks he used to build that tower and count them together-then you can ask him to build it using blocks of the same color or to sort the blocks by color or you could work on patterns using the blocks or you could start doing basic addition/subracting using the blocks. It just really depends on the skills he already knows and can demonstrate.

Johnny is going to learn better through these interactions (and through repition) than he would with a 'formal' lesson plan.

There is a place for group activities and formal lesson plans, but the bulk of the learning is going to happen through daily experiences and interactions.
