If you’ve ever struggled with planning and implementing effective, engaging science lessons in your kindergarten classroom, then please read on. This post is for you!

Maybe your district supplies you with a big-box curriculum that isn’t user-friendly. Maybe it creates too much work for you. Maybe it doesn’t hold your students’ attention. Or maybe you don’t have a curriculum and you are left spending your weekends piecing together ideas from Pinterest.

No more. I’m here to tell you how we can solve all of those problems with the Little Science Thinkers Curriculum.

Little Kindergarten SCIENCE Thinkers  is a complete science curriculum specifically for Kindergarten.
It’s everything you need to introduce, teach, practice, and assess your kinder friends.

It is been written to suit the main topics of state Kindergarten Social Studies Standards as well as NGSS.

It contains everything you need in a neat, organized package. It’s totally teacher friendly and student-approved! I’m going to walk you through the format of the entire curriculum, and specifically Unit 3: Properties.
