Lesson Planning with Me!: Beginning of Year Bulletin Board

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.

Beginning of Year Bulletin Board

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom theme:

Make a coconut tree and use an Ellison machine to put the first letter of each child's name around the tree. On each letter, write the child's name. The bulletin board reads: "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Look Who's in Our Room." Take a picture of each child on the first day of school. When developed, have the child find his/her name by the tree. Tape the photo next to the letter and save it for their portfolios when the board is changed.
