The Nursery Curriculum has grown and changed since September, 1976. We have gained new insights into
what nursery teachers need to know and do and we have applied them in this Curriculum Guide using the
Guyana Curriculum Standards as the base. These standards are in keeping with the Caribbean Standards.
Helping teachers to organize their classrooms into learning centres and using them effectively, is the first step in
implementing a Curriculum.
However, much more is required. Teachers need a scope and sequence of skills and concepts to be learned
with specific daily activities.
This curriculum guide is intended to help teachers implement these developmentally appropriate practices.
Since the Nursery Curriculum is based on themes which usually involve a Science or Social Studies thrust e.g
Animals in our Environment, teachers need to know how to purposefully incorporate Literacy, mathematics,
Health and Family Life Education, Music, Movement and Drama, Drawing and Painting and to have ongoing
daily routines and displays.
11
Ongoing Daily Routines and Displays
It is strongly advised that teachers have morning routine at the beginning of the day. It can be done as the first mini-activity
during Arrival and Free Play. Children should take an active part in these routines, which will provide numerous opportunities
for developing Literacy and Numeracy.
Some suggested experiences

• Greeting children, Connect emotionally with each child
• The Attendance Chart or We are Here Chart.
As soon as children arrive at school they should select their name cards Year 1 children should have a photograph or a
drawing of himself or herself to give him/her a clue (The name should be written in bold script) Year 2 children should
have their names only written in bold script.
Each child should place his/her name Card on Chart. The teacher can see at a glance the children who are present
• The Daily Chart

Today is !Monda~
After discussing the day of the week children can take turns to put up, the day on the chart (Year 1)
Sing the Days of the Week Song (Tune: My Darling Clementine)
There are seven days
lll
There are seven days
There are seven days in a week
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
T· lmP"t"''~,, ,S ay
'
Year 2 Chart can be extended e.g.

Today is !Monda~
Yesterday was ISunda~
Tomorrow will be tfuesda~
• The Weather Chart

General weather conditions should be recorded each day.
Year 1 children should have a pictorial weather chart with an arrow pointing to the weather e.g. rainy- sunny
Year 2 children should have the sentence.
Today is a lrain~ day <Jlift> /
~~--~----~--~~
,:_ • '
Today is a ~ day I? 'V ~ !BJf~
Children can take turns to fix the weather each day.
IV
• The Birthday Chart
After discussing birthdays whenever there is a birthday the child's name and age can be placed on chart e.g.
Today is Pohnl's birthday.
He is [ouo year's old.
Each child can contribute by drawing a picture for the child who is celebrating his birthday
Staple the pages together and give the child a 'Birthday Book' as a gift.
A picture with a birthday cake and four candles can be placed on chart.
• The Calendar &\'e are in the month o~ ~eptembeo
• Pictographs
Birthdays - Number of children who have birthdays each month
e.g. September
