1/9/2024 0 Comments Lesson planner calendarI have a 3-day preschool 3-4 class and a 5 day prek 4-5 class to plan for, so I just use 2, however there are 2 different 2-day editable templates, a 3-day, 4-day & 5-day editable templates as well! I will include links at the end of my post. I changed it up this year-went from frogs to hippos…mostly because I had frogs for two years, and the hippos were so darned cute…I kind of had to. ![]() I always save the new files as pdf’s to send via email, but I also print a copy for each class and post it each week on my information board outside the classroom. I have a blank newsletter template that I keep handy in my computer files so I can keep a record of all my lesson plans-makes it a breeze to plan in coming years. My second year of teaching I would sit down and draw out some boxes-one for the letter of the week, my volunteers, books-both fiction and non, Concepts that I wanted or needed to cover in each subject area, how I wanted to change my free choice centers, and any special events such as a fire drill, picture day, parties etc. ![]() That said, I have to make sure my centers for the week cover all of my subject areas, meet core standards, are developmentally appropriate and engaging. We don’t run all of those teacher centers each day, usually just 2 or 3.Īs with most quality preschool programs, we have state core standards we have to meet, but we still keep it play-based and developmentally appropriate. We also have teachers or volunteers running literacy, math, science, art, or fine motor centers. In my classroom there are 4 free choice centers plus a library full of themes and non-theme books for the kids to enjoy if hey want some quiet. I know what I want my students to know at the end of each week…and It is up to me to find the best, most engaging way to get them there. I always have in my mind the idea of backward design. ![]() Throughout my years of teaching I have lesson planned the same way. With school fast approaching…I’m getting excited for 2 new classes full of bright happy faces of 3-4 year-old, and my pre-k 4-5 year-olds! They are so special and sweet! I am looking forward to another year full of fun, laughs, hugs and amazing discoveries!
