What websites or books can help me with my two year old lesson plans?

We Answered:

The Complete Resource Book for Toddlers and Twos by Pam Schiller.

Actually Pam Schiller has many toddler books published...check your local library.

Back to the book I mentioned- It is a good resource book...but use it as a jumping board. Be careful with those books that have lesson plans all ready for you. It may not be what your classroom/children need. You need to individualize...make it personal for your classroom.

Just a side note...are they coloring in coloring pages? Or are they coloring in general on many many different textured papers, with many many different writing tools? Coloring pages are not developmentally appropiate for 2 year olds. :-)

High School Nutrition Lesson?

We Answered:

You might want to give them some lessons on balancing their nutrition. I would emphasize to them that they should keep in mind what they eat over an entire day.

I wouldn't use the USDA's food pyramid. It is not very clear. Instead I would construct a pie chart of a segmented bar graph indicating to them the approximate percentages they should eat each day of the various food groups, emphasizing that they should minimize their intake of fat and sugar by not routinely eating desserts.
