TLE My Learning Bags and Curriculum Calendars for Families

 

Families enjoy having clear, friendly tools that help them stay connected to what their child is learning, and The Learning Experience makes that simple with monthly curriculum calendars and weekly learning bags.

 

Each calendar highlights monthly themes, weekly focus areas, character spotlights, diversity moments, and a sign language word to practice together. With fun at home activities and a personalized learning bag for preschoolers and older children, TLE helps build confidence, communication skills, and a warm link between home and school.

Each curriculum calendar gives families an easy snapshot of classroom learning. You will find:

●     Monthly and weekly themes

●     A character spotlight featuring friends like Bubbles or Gibby Gibbon

●     Diversity prompts that promote social and emotional growth

●     A sign language word of the month

●     At home activity suggestions for Wednesdays and Fridays

 

These pieces work together to give families a simple way to stay involved and support learning all month long.

Weekly activity suggestions provide families with simple ideas that match what is happening in the classroom. These activities are designed to be practical and fun so families can enjoy learning without adding pressure or extra preparation.

 

Activities may include art prompts, storytelling ideas, counting games, nature walks, or conversation starters. When caregivers participate in these guided moments, children experience consistency and encouragement, which supports stronger skill development.

Learning bags are a signature part of TLE’s approach to connecting school and home. Each week, children bring a personalized bag filled with items they choose to help them communicate, express themselves, and share their interests.

 

Learning bags offer a fun and familiar way for preschool and older children to practice sharing with their classmates. Each week, children bring in an item that matches the calendar prompt.

 

This activity helps children:

●     Build communication skills

●     Practice speaking in front of peers

●     Show pride in something special from home

●     Strengthen the connection between home and school

 

The consistency of the routine helps children feel prepared and excited to participate.

Learning bags take the idea of show and tell and make it a purposeful part of the curriculum. Children look forward to choosing their item, teachers guide warm and supportive discussions, and classmates learn to listen, ask questions, and celebrate one another. This approach turns a familiar childhood activity into a valuable learning moment that strengthens classroom community.

Picking out the weekly item can become a fun bonding moment at home. Families simply check the calendar prompt, then choose something that fits the theme. If the theme is the letter A, an apple, a small airplane toy, or Andy the alligator would all work perfectly. 

 

Choosing an item together helps build early literacy skills, encourages creativity, and adds excitement to the week.

Curriculum calendars and learning bags work best when used together, creating a simple rhythm that families can follow.

 

At home: the calendar gives families a quick snapshot of what children are learning, plus small moments to try together. When it is time to choose a learning bag item, children already feel connected to the weekly theme.

 

In the classroom: teachers build on those same themes and guide supportive sharing moments during learning bag time, helping children feel confident and prepared.

 

TLE’s curriculum calendars and learning bags make it easy for families to stay connected and involved in their child’s learning. With simple routines and meaningful moments to share, children feel supported as they learn, play, and grow every day.
