Lesson Plan Form 2

 The previous slides show one of the forms you will use (either IT or Preschool)

 You will select items to add, in addition to the existing items, that will allow children to learn about the study topic selected and practice the developmental indicator.

 For example, I would list dump trunks, and fire trucks in the section under blocks for the study topic of Wheels.

Lesson Plan Form 2

 Do not list activities, list the items.  Include the Developmental Indicator in

each box also. Example:

BLOCKS dump trucks

fire trucks CD-11n

Lesson Plan Form 2

 Fill in every day, and include the specific Developmental Indicator in each box.

 Be specific  This is where you explain your teaching in

more detail  Think about a substitute teacher using

your form, would they know what to do.

Large Group Time

 List songs you will sing , for example “Wheels on the Bus”

 List concepts or changes to the learning centers you want the children to notice. For example, “In the Discovery area today you will find wheels to sort and pictures of all kind of wheel to look at. In the art area there are vehicles for you to paint with using their wheels and paint.”

Story Time

 List the actual book you will read, give the title and author

 Five Little Monkeys Wash the Car by Eileen Christelow

Small Group activity

 This is where you describe the activity you would do with the children as you work one-on-one or with a small group

 For the wheels topic, you may have the children roll various size wheels down a ramp and measure which one goes fastest or farthest, then create a graph chart with the children

Special Activities

 It is not necessary to fill this one out unless you have something meaningful. You may have a parent or staff that has a vehicle with large wheels that could be parked in a safe area. The children could make wheel rubbings. Or a truck driver may come speak to the children
