Lesson Planning with Me!: Which is different?

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.

Placemats

From: The Mailbox

Here's a simple way to reinforce skills during snacktime and lunch. Every month have each student make a placemat. Laminate the placemats and then use a permanent marker to program each placemat with letters, numbers, or personal information such as the child's address and phone number. Throughout mealtime, ask youngsters questions about the information on their placemats.

Make several placemats. On each one, include a different skill: letter, numeral, color, or shape naming, patterning, student's name, sight words, objects of different sizes or lengths etc. Before giving a student a placemat, instruct him/her to name the letter/numeral/color/shape, what comes next in the pattern, read the sight word, name the biggest/smallest or shortest/longest object etc.

The weather is getting cooler, a few leaves are changing color and giving the hint of crisp days to come. Fall is one of my favorite seasons because of so many different things: apple picking, the pumpkin patch, colorful leaves and cool weather. Definitely something we’re looking forward to around here!

The Fall Fun Learning Printables includes two separate downloads, one geared toward younger Preschoolers and another for Kindergarten. You’ll find word and letter tracer sheets, early writing strips, find the different object, and beginning sound cards along with a few other fun pieces ~ the Clip & Learn Wheel, fill in the missing number, shadow matching and more.
You can download the Fall Fun Learning Printables here. Be sure to download both parts of the pack!
