K2: 1/2 Day, 3 Days a Week Play Based

Advice needed :karma:(Anyone can comment) :karma:

Hi! I am starting as a K2 teacher right after Labor Day. The school I'm working at is where my children have been for the last 8 years. It has a loose rhythm, but the director lets each teacher personalize their classroom. She's already said she knows my room will be more play based.

I've been looking online for the past few months, but am wondering if there's something I've missed. It seem like most things are either for 3-4 year olds OR full time care. I will have my students on TWTh from 9-1pm, with some of the kids only coming TTh.

Is there a place where I can buy affordable printable curriculum ideas that would be a good fit for my class? As the year goes on, I may start putting my own together - but I'd love a little more direction these first few months.

So far, I'm leaning towards the circle time printable packs on Teaching 2s & 3s. What I'm ideally looking for is something like Play to Learn Preschool Lesson Plan Packs - it includes circle time, centers, and lesson plans. It just seems a little too old for the 2 year olds, geared more towards 3s.
