As you know, NOGGIN is like preschool on TV. And just as they do in preschool, we like to find something special to celebrate. Each month NOGGIN will be celebrating and exploring a different theme.

In schools, you'll often find teachers using thematic curriculum to teach a wide range of skills and subjects. For example, a thematic curriculum on dinosaurs would use children's inherent fascination with these prehistoric creatures to learn about them – and along the way build vocabulary, literacy skills, math skills, and learn science, social studies and more. Art and music, even kinesthetic play would incorporate dinosaurs.

This month NOGGIN has an attitude of gratitude. We encourage everyone to count their blessings and think about what they're thankful for in song, stories, art and online activities.
