kindergarten lesson plans..?

We Answered:

A great thing to do is to take a TV guide (Or any one of those small booklets you can find at the checkout counter of a grocery store), be sure they are not too thick, then trace the edges of a christmas tree from the top left side (Top of the binding) down towards the bottom right side (away from the binding). Basically, youll be looking at a 2d outline of a half of a christmas tree. THen, you cut along this line, being sure not to cut through the binding, and when you paperclip the cover to the back of the book by opening it, it makes a 3dimensional christmas tree. you can have the kids color it green and can that fake snow in a can to decorate it. even use hershey kisses for the ornaments.

Kindergarten teachers: Where can I find examples of lesson plans to use this fall in student teaching?

We Answered:

Talk with your professors, advising teacher, and fellow student teachers.

A good springboard is to come up with a theme. I student taught in kindergarten, and my theme was gardening. I was amazed at the stuff I came up with and the kids loved it.
