Activities are one of the most important parts of a Lesson Plan. Activities provide learning opportunities for children.
In addition to the ATI-provided activities, users may create their own activities that can be used as stand alone and/or associate the activities with user-created lesson plans.
Galileo provides over 800 ready-to-use activities for children ages 18 months to 5 years. The 3-5 year activities are linked to the Galileo lesson plans. Activities can also be used in a stand-alone situation. Galileo provides you with a variety of activity libraries and also allows teachers and curriculum managers (or a designated Galileo user) the opportunity to create their own activities.
