Dental Health Theme for Preschool

Using the Weekly and Daily Planning FormsIn the weekly planning form, ALL of the boxes are editable! Simply print as they are OR move activities to the days you want them or replace activities with your own!You’ll find my standards listed under each activity. This is where you will enter YOUR program’s standards (that you added to the Conversion Chart) 1. Refer to the conversion chart you completed and look up my Standard Letter/Number.2. Replace that letter and number with YOUR program’s equivalent that you typed into

the Conversion Chart.3. Print!

The Weekly AND Daily Planning forms are both 100% editable so you can move the activities to the days you want to do them or even replace them with your own activities! (If you do that-be sure to change them on the daily planning forms as well AND replace the standards in that box with the correct standards for the activity you have replaced mine with!)NOTE: The blue areas will NOT print blue, don’t worry! Those areas are the “editable areas”. They will print with a white background when you print!

Using the Standards Conversion Chart

1. Type in each of your program’s equivalent standards next to mystandard.

2. Save to your computer.3. Refer to this chart each time you use a theme from Preschool Cubby
