Learning brings together everything you plan and observe in the classroom. It has five tabs:

Tab	What you do there
Activities	Plan the activities for each day of the week, by age group and room.
Observation Forms	Build the checklists teachers use to observe children, plus milestones and assessment levels.
Library	Keep reusable lesson plans and browse plans shared by the kidsday community.
Home activities	Send activities home and check who has done them.
Settings	See your AI Lesson Planner subscription and choose whose activities need approval.

• Select Week: use the arrows to move between weeks.
• Age Groups and Select Rooms: choose which groups and rooms to show.
• Add Week Theme: type the theme of the week, for example Nature & the Garden.
• Add Day Topic: give each day its own topic.
