Can you believe another year has come and gone?! We have had so much fun doing all of these weekly themes with you. We hope you will join us again next year with our weekly themed curriculum. This week’s theme is all about celebrating the new year, so let’s dive in!
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
