Why Plan Your Preschool Lessons?One of the best ways to be prepared as a teacher is by having your preschool lessons planned. Whether you like to plan on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis- having a plan will help keep your teaching deliberate, in sequence, and focused on children's needs. Here are my top reasons for planning your preschool lessons and ideas for getting it done without feeling overwhelmed.
Christmas Tree Play Dough InvitationThe words “play dough invitation” sound so fun, and sort of, well, inviting. If you’re a bit intimidated by the word invitation--thinking it involves throwing a full-scale party complete with cake, punch, and pony rides--don’t be!
Setting up a play dough invitation or “invitation to play” is easier than you might think. Plus, your children or students will have tons of fun without even realizing all the fine motor skills, creativity, and learning benefits they’ll be getting while they play. Preschool Calendar ActivitiesPreschool calendar activities are a great way to teach young children important math concepts such as counting, patterning, number order and more. Using a calendar is a great way to introduce students to new concepts like the days of the week, and months of the year. Calendar activities also help children develop a sense of passing time and develop other important skills.
Learning to identify and manage Feeling and Emotions is essential for preschoolers. It can be difficult for young children to identify their own feelings as well as what those feelings look like on other people. These Conversation Cards and Posters are a great tool for early childhood educators to use in teaching children to identify emotions. These cards and posters can be used both when children are experiencing a particular emotion as well as everyday to prepare children for experiencing feelings. These cards and posters are easy to use and can be used in a variety of ways!
