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.

Spider Web

From: Little Lessons for Little Ones

ReadThe Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle


Craft: Raised Salt Painting - inspired by the blog One Perfect Day.   As you read the book this week you will notice that the spiderweb is raised in the book!  This art activity will mimic the art in the book.  Put your paper on the cookie sheet.  Depending on your child's age, either you or they squirt liquid glue on the page, trying to make it look like a spiderweb.  Next you pour salt all over the paper.  After you have covered the paper, shake it off onto the cookie sheet so you can save it and use it on another project.  In spare cups, make colored water using water and food coloring.  Using an eye dropper, squirt a few drops of colored water on the salt and watch as the color travels on its own down the line of salt/glue!

Supplies:
  • book
  • black or white construction paper
  • liquid glue
  • salt
  • food coloring
  • water
  • eye dropper(s)
  • cookie sheet
  • plastic cups
