Lesson Planning with Me

Hello! I teach an integrated preschool classroom, which means I am responsible for students ages three to five with special needs of all types as well as typical developing students. My students range in ability from a toddler to a typical kindergartener. Therefore, my activities must be able to reach a wide range and be easily adjusted for multiple ability levels.

I created this blog as a way to keep track of the fantastic ideas I have gathered over the years. Because I just randomly add activities to the blog, use the search, standard list, or theme list on the left side to find the activities you are after!

I also create and sell resources that can be found at TeachersPayTeachers and Teacher's Notebook.

Positional Words


Button, Button, Where Is the Button?
Choose five buttons and put them into a resealable plastic sandwich bag.  Directions:  Use these buttons to help your child learn to follow directions and to learn positional words.  Tell your child where to put the button.  At first, give one direction at a time; then give two or three at a time.  Example: “Put this button under the chair.”  Positional words: under, behind, beside, top, in front of, over, below, around, high, above, up, between, down, low.

Playground Photo Shoot
As the children play outside, take pictures that capture children experiencing different positions such as sliding down the slide, crawling through a tunnel, and jumping over a rope.  Once the pictures have been developed, share them with small groups of youngsters.  As the children enjoy the photos, help them describe what they see by encouraging descriptive words such as between, under, beside, and many more.
