PUT TEXT HERE ABOUT HOW IT BEGAN...WHERE TO GET SCHEDULE....GENERAL GUIDANCE....WHAT IS BELOW....ADD LINKS TO PDFS FOR LIST OF USBORNE BOOKS BY THEME
These activities, links and worksheets are organized here to complement the PreK Theme schedule that I created to use the Sonlight PreK materials before they had an instructor's guide to go with the PreK Core; The PreK Theme schedule is still available. It can be downloaded from files section of the Preschool e-mail loop on Yahoo known as http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SLPreschool/. To get a copy of the schedule, you must currently join this loop, which is a wonderful support community for homeschool users of the Sonlight; PreK curriculum. Here is a list of Usborne books arranged by theme..

Kinestetic Learning Augmentation
For kinesthetic experiences with the themes, I highly recommend the following book: Wiggle, Giggle and Shake: 200 Ways to Move and Learn by Rae Pica, published by Gryphon House. [ISBN: 0-87659-244-2] You can purchase it from Discount School Supply or any major Book Supplier. Page numbers for using this book are listed right after the theme in parenthesis.

Alphabet Soup tends to have fingerplays, poems, activities and crafts, first school and DLTK have crafts, actvities and coloring pages, Kinderstart is usually a link list, enchanted learning sometimes requires membership and has crafts and coloring pages, preschool education is mostly crafts with some songs and fingerplays. Links to Family Fun Magazine are usually just a set of crafts listed in one article; or one craft/activity per link. They really do not have indexes; but you may find other cool ideas (in addition to the ones linked) by searching the actual sight.
