How do I make lesson plans for infants and toddlers?

We Answered:

kids learn through play... so its good to just let them play! Monitor their play though and when you see an opportunity to show them something, do so... such as sharing, using manners, helping, controlling anger, cleaning up, etc.

For more organized learning (which I would maybe do just one lesson a day) you should try to help them experience things, not so much focus on them mastering knowledge. Example... being able to count to ten is mastering knowledge, but listening to a song that counts and using musical instruments to a beat (or even creating your own instruments) would be experiencing numbers.

It will take some brainstorming on your end, but I'm sure if you com up with a few themes you'll be able to find activities and ideas on the web

Do you have a weekly Current Events lesson plan that works?

We Answered:

My daughter's teacher does this. She must find an article that she finds interesting by Thursday of each week. The teacher did make a rule that you can only do a sports article once, because she found that the boys end up only doing sports the whole time.

She does have a few newspapers that she gives out on Thursday for the kids who do not get a paper at home. She allows them to use magazines or the internet as well as the paper.

They have to write about the "who what where when why and how" from each article. They then present it to the class every Friday.

This is the 4th year in a row that I have had a 5th grader and they have all benefited from this. They tell me about local events or happenings that they learned of from their classmates.

weekly lesson plan for kg 1 children on the theme red.?

We Answered:

Monday- introduce red by having a treasure hunt game. place a card in the flannel board with the color red or word red written in red marker. kids have to look for all the red objects in a basket. later at circle time, inspect each item and try to name them. other kids who can write and read can copy the words on the list of red objects.

Tuesday- paint with red. they can recall the objects they found yesterday. don't forget to label their work. practice describing the objects as red ball, red apple,,,etc.

Wednesday- beading using red. have kids string beads of different shapes with red color. they can try to copy a pattern ex. heart, circle, square...etc.

Thursday- Bingo dauber activity. write the word RED or red on a blank paper. ask kids to outline each letter with a red dauber. after, they can try creating other figures with the red dauber.

Friday- Red riding Hood day: Tell the story and prepare a red hood the kids can use and try on for dramatic play. You can re-tell the story by asssigning them characters.


You can also use a red lipstick by marking their lips on a paper for red lips. Or you can have them wear something red to school (red hat, red headband or ribbon, red jacket, red socks)
Have a nice red day.
