How do you write lesson plans for preschool children?
549544
teacherlessonplans.com abcteaching.com With preschool you make the lesson plans short interesting activities. Realize that if you are teaching them to write a letters it is going to take one on one with most of them which means the class gets rowdy. You have to have a backup plan for the ones who finish early. You can plan short stories and asking questions that they can answer (they love to talk and have an opinion). The ability to concentrate four of five minutes is the norm when they work alone. You have to give lots of brain breaks. They like to sing, color, play with puzzles, paint and chatter. Things on the line of mother may I and musical chairs...they like things they can win. Good luck!

Please view the website that I have listed.  While most of the materials are for older students and adults, maybe some of the activities can be adapted for preschool children.  \n\nInstead of using the basic "study circles" format maybe the students could do art projects to talk about their community and feelings.  Or, plan activities where the students have to work together to figure out puzzles or play games.  Once you get children started they usually figure out things on their own.  I've worked with young students for the past few years through the organization Junior Achievement, its not directly related this organization taught students about entrepreneurship and personal finance, but I learned that young people are very attuned to what goes on in their community.\n\nHave a community day/show and tell were students bring in something from home that explains their culture.  Try to get parents involved if you can.  Afterall, "It takes a village to raise a child."  As I am sure you are probably aware, lessons come in many forms they don't always have to center around pointing out differences and saying its bad to make judgements.  Just show them the different cultures that are out there through story, food, clothing, and other fun activities.

You could use the Dolch Sight words preschool list and when she gets good at them, move on to the kindergarten list. And make your own flash cards either with a word processor and cardstock and scissors/paper cutter, or hand print them on index cards.  My son really liked labled tongue depressors (big thick popsicle/craft sticks) instead of cards:\n\nThe lists and printable flashcards are available at:\nhttp://www.kidzone.ws/dolch/preschool.htm\n\nalso online free "Dolch Kits" that include printable flashcards are available at:\nhttp://www.theschoolbell.com/Links/Dolch/Contents.html\n\nYou could also use rhyming words and easy blends to make your own flashcards.  A good place to find worksheets for easy words (and then make flashcards based on the worksheets) is at Starfall:\nhttp://www.starfall.com/n/N-info/level-a.htm\n\nHave fun!

For younger students, you can use a lot of pictures and words to learn simple phrases and sentences.  You should draw, use your hands and movements to explain words.  Songs and nursery rhymes help children remember words.  Remember to be patient!

First, decide on the grammar point you want to teach.  The idea here is really to teach a concept, and then give the students a chance to APPLY it ---hence, the game every few minutes.\nSo think of it as teaching the concept, and then playing the game TO REINFORCE THE CONCEPT.  I would leave time at the end of your lesson plan to REVIEW the concepts AND the point of the games to reinforce your theme.  That would pull your lesson together nicely.  The use of skillful questions in your lesson plan is a good way to summarize, and to see if the students learned from your lesson.

I was a preschool teacher for a few years\nRead them a book about wind,\n1. then make wind socks\n2. have them paint by making their own wind.  Give them straws and have them blow the paint\n3. Make kites\n4. give them grocery bags (plastic) and have them "catch wind"  they will run with the bag, the bag will fill up with air.\n5. make a wind chime.  Use the long tube pasta, or ask the parents to bring in items that could be used for a wind chime.\n6. blow bubbles\n7. make paper air planes and take them outside and let the wind blow them.\n8.  throw grass in the air, see which way it blows.

There are some great suggestions here. Adding on from my teaching experience, I'd add...\n\nIt's always good to model the writing process by looking at a good example from a particular genre, then all work on that genre together. \n\nWrite yourself and share with your class. \n\nUse visual stimuli, sounds, smells, objects (photos cut from newspapers, things taped off the telly, sound-effects, aromatherapy oils, an old boot, a torn umbrella....) as starting points. \n\nBorrow a line of poetry or a sentence from a story as a starter, or get the kids to 'treasure hunt' good examples for themselves.\n\nGet kids to edit each other's work. Find opportunities to publish their work - competitions, online, class magazine....  They will want to do well if it's for a REAL audience.\n\nGo to a location or event together - a field, a bus station, a sports game, a river... Divide them into pairs or groups and have them work on different foci (characters, setting etc) and have them share. Use this as a springboard for a writing project.\n\nStructure is often one of the most difficult things for students to grasp - sometimes writing less is more. Have them chart visually the stages a good writer incorporates.\n\nAnd overall, make your students feel that you ENJOY reading their work! Read aloud the best part of everyone's work (don't leave anyone out) and be encouraging!!

As a former teacher trainer in Asia,\n\nGotta set up a routine for you lesson. Let's say you have young ones, start with a song/chant, and then into your "grammar/language" lesson (the crappy books they give you to follow). Seatwork (appropriate for the level). Then end it off with a story. You can ask simple questions for the story, "Find something red. What page was the boy eating the ice cream?" Always good to add a few language games into your lesson. One simple game is for two students with swatters to hit the correct vocab card. Plain, but better than repeating the words. You can make up a whole bunch of language games. Try bingo, but with pics of vocab. Play Simon Says.\n\nI find when I was teachign ESL, my greatest problem and my teachers' greatest problem was the lack of resources. Here is a site: http://www.readinga-z.com/\n\nBuy a $50 yearly member ship and download the books. Get your school to pay for you. This will provide you with 100s of reading activities for ALL levels!

Make themrelate to something real, and the kids will remember them. Repetition is fine, but boring and they will not really learn it for the long haul. Try songs, poems, rhymes, stories, movements. Ask them to tell a partner what they know about the word or how it relates to real life. or have them write a story using the words in correct context.

FOr years I have written songs for my class, and each of the other teachers either found songs, skits or poems to present. We don't have a cohesive plan, but we have an elder introduce each group. THis year and last I moved up several grades and am now teaching grade 5/6. So last yar I found a five minute skit, and this year I am writing one. This has been the format we have followed for as long as I can remember.\n\nas for finding a complete program online, I've never checked, but there has to be one available somewhere. Do a google search, and check your nearest Christian book store.

Your lesson plan should detail the following:\n\nStudents: age and ability; intermediate etc\nAim: e.g. asking the time\nAssumptions: (what the students already know) e.g. numbers\nMaterials: e.g. projector, blackboard, paper cut outs, toys\n\n\nYour lesson plan should break down your lesson into sections and provide you with a brief on each section .. e.g...\n\n1) Explain how the Present Simple Tense can be used. That the present simple can be used for things that are true in general, ............ blah blah ,  Give examples such as “my favourite food is …”, .......... blah, blah (5 minutes)\n\nIf you are teaching Business English to students in a marketing company, then you will set tasks or the use of verbs in marketing (in context with how the language will be used) or it could be contextualised in the sense of the local community, social setting etc.

That was an awesome book!  I would do my own.  The lesson plans I saw when I was looking online weren't as good as I could do myself.  Have you looked at E-Bay? Or Teacher's Helper or the publisher; my only suggestions.  Good luck!

I really wish I could help you but my oldest is only in second grade.  Most of the websites I use are for teaching ABC's and 123's.\n\nYou can try this one for math worksheets.\nhttp://www.eduplace.com/math/mw/\nIf you choose your child's grade level and then leveled practice you will be able to print out a lot of worksheets.  You might want to look through them a little to find exactly what you want.  You might want to occasionally choose an easier grade level to print out a few easy review pages.  \n\nFor reading you might want to check with your local library to see if they have a summer reading program.  At my library the kids earn a small prize for every 10 books they read and bigger prizes at the end of the summer.  They love knowing that they can get prizes for books that they were going to read anyway.  \n\nMost libraries will have a few books with simple science experiments.  They are fun and educational.  We do a lot of these durring the summer.  A few weeks ago we planted lima beans and jelly beans.  When only the lima beans sprouted we cut open a lima bean to find the baby plant inside and the the jelly bean to find no baby plant.  We had a lot of fun.\n\nFind out what your child is interesten in and help him/her learn all about it.  My 7 year old is intersted in Archeology and paleontology so much of what he learns involves dinosaurs and ancient egypt.  My 4 year old loves gardening so we are learning about seeds, parts of a plant, and what living things need to grow.  My 2 year old loves bugs so we are learning the life cycles of insects.  We count legs when we can get the bug to lay still enough.  They don't even realize that they are learning when you teach them what they want to know!\n\nGood luck!
