Question by Emily: Preschool lesson - combining manners and a foreign language?
I need to give a preschool lesson on manners while incorporating a foreign language such as French or Spanish (for example, a game that teaches a simple phrase like, "s'il vous plait" or something like that.) Any thoughts on games or activities I could do?
Simple is better.
Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by FLmom3
How about "Mother May I?". You stand at one end of the room and the children at the other. You call out a child's name and say for example, "Emily, take 3 steps forward please". Instead of them saying "mother may I?" they have to say "please" in the target language.

Question by Dusty: How do I make a mini book for my preschool lesson plan.?
My lesson with the preschool class I took for this semester is on rain. I need a small, 4 page minibook and I dont know how to start one.

Best answer:

Answer by Jen
This will make a book that you can easily make copies of.

1. Take a piece of 81/2 x 11 printer paper and fold it into fourths. If your book is about rain, you might want to consider using blue printer paper.

2. Hold the folded paper with the fold side up, and the open ends at the bottom. This is your book.

3. It's a little tricky to get it all printed and folded correctly again, so while the paper is folded into fourths, number the pages. The front "cover" is page #1. Take a pencil and put a 1 on this page. The inside pages are #2 and #3. The back page is #4. Mark each page with the correct number.

4. Unfold the paper so it is flat again. Make your pictures and text on the areas where you marked the numbers.

As an alternative, you can just cut a piece of paper into fourths, and staple the pages at the side. You could make a cover for the book from construction paper if you wish. Sometimes staples aren't allowed because kids can catch their fingers on them, so the folded option may be better depending on the requirements.

Do you need help with text and pictures?
Keep the whole thing very simple. Something like: page 1: Rain comes from clouds. (have child draw a picture of a cloud) page 2: Rain is water for plants and grass. page 3: sometimes there is thunder during a rainstorm. page 4: We need umbrellas when we go out in the rain.

Preschool lessons for 3-4 year olds?

Posted by chris

Question by mnb_wsly: Preschool lessons for 3-4 year olds?
I am a stay at home mommy and have decided that instead of putting my 2 girls into PreK I am going to invest that money and put it towards educational things for here and just teach them 3 days a week. Being a Preschool teacher in the past I have seen first hand how Preschools just aren't everything they are put up to be and I feel I can give them much more. I do feel that it is important for them to get Socialzation as well So I have joined a local group that has weekly playdates. These are the areas I am focusing my lessons on
*Math (counting, measuring)
*Maps (states in the USA)
*Reading
*Home Making (folding towels, dishes...)
*Bible study's
*Art
*Days of the week, months of the year
*Seasons

What lessons can you come up with?
Anything I am leaving out??

Best answer:

Answer by Static Energy
Fine motor skills (cutting, gluing, stringing, stickers..)

Gross motor skills (hopping, jumping, running, dancing, galloping, skipping...)

Language skills (rhymes, phonics, songs, alliteration....)

Pre writing skills (using crayons, chalk, brushes,markers, unlined paper, envelopes)

Letter recognition (start with the letters in child's name)

Reading comprehension (stop reading and ask Who did what, when did it happen, have child read story back to you.....)

Computer skills (using a mouse, left click, click and drag....)

Music (keeping a steady beat, using musical instruments, creative dance....)

These are the skills I teach my 3 & 4 year olds. Maps may be a little hard to comprehend but not impossible. You know your children best. Sorting is a huge math skill your children will need along with making a pattern and adding on to a 2 part pattern. Cheap cereals are great for this skill.
Play is huge at this time so don't forget to have fun your self. Boxes are great starters for creative play along with dress up clothes. Have fun and enjoy!

Question by jupitergirl00731: Is there a preschool in Orlando that has a pool & offers swimming lessons as part of its curriculum?
I live near College Park 32789 and am looking for a preschool for my daughter that has a pool. Also, one that offers a graduation ceremony for the little ones at the end of the school year. If you know of one please let me know. I have tried basic searches but come up with nothing close to my part of town, for some reason the ones I have found are all near Conway which is way to far for me. Anyways, Let me know. I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by luisamapacha
I doubt it. Having a pool is such a huge liability, most preschools can't afford it, the maintenance, insurance, equipment, CPR and swimming certified instructors, etc.

Your best bet will be to find a preschool that takes trips to the YMCA on occasion.

How To Create A Lesson Plan In 9 Minutes

No kidding! In the length of time it takes you to read this article you can prepare an entire preschool lesson plan. All it takes is a little creativity. Using a combination of rhymes, crafts, activities, and games you can create fun, easy, lesson plans, and you can do it over and over again as often as you like.

Step 1

To start designing a lesson plan using this system, the first thing you need to do is pick a nursery rhyme; preferably one with an object, animal or other tangible item. If you are planning on focusing on a particular letter or number keep this in mind when choosing your rhyme. Weekly Preschool Lessons has a wide selection of rhymes to choose from.

Step 2

Review the rhyme to pick a theme that the child will like. You can use an item or object from the rhyme, such as an animal or bug, or even pick a letter or number. Just try to make sure your theme is part of your rhyme.

Step 3

Decide what you want to teach using the rhymes. If you want to teach about numbers and/or letters go to step 4, otherwise go straight to step 5.

Step 4 - Letters:

The letter you focus on should be present in the rhyme. Review the letter sound with the child then say the rhyme and reinforce the letter sound each time you go over it. Do this several times until the child recognizes that letter. At this point you may want to use paper and crayons to teach letter recognition, writing the letter down and having the child draw over or copy it.

Step 4 - Numbers:

For a number focus you will need a rhyme that uses numbers. Ask the child what is being counted? Repeat the rhyme and talk about what the numbers are doing (i.e. going up, down, subtracting, counting, etc.) As with the letters, you can write the number down and have child draw over or copy it.

Step 5

Now all you need is an activity. This is the most difficult portion of the preschool lesson, and may require a little extra creativity on your part. It is best if the activity reinforces the theme, or at the very least a letter or number in the rhyme.

Activities may include games, crafts, worksheets, etc. You probably have a few favorite activities already. Maybe you know a simple craft using paper plates, paper bags, or just construction paper, or perhaps you prefer games like Duck, Duck, Goose. Coloring pages with pictures of items in the nursery rhyme can be reproduced for several children. Weekly Preschool Lessons is full of preschool activity and craft ideas.

The Creativity Incorporated In Preschool Teaching

For children under the age of five - and prior to the start of kindergarten - there is the option of preschool programs. Preschool may sometimes be offered through the public school system but most often preschool programs are offered through private or religious institutions. The benefits of preschool teaching are numerous; and the ways in which such lessons can be infused with creativity are just as numerous.

The goals of a preschool program are to foster a love of learning and prepare young children for their future school experience; the way that this is accomplished is through creative preschool teaching. Young children of this age are receptive to a variety of information; their brains eagerly absorb all they see, hear, and touch. Subsequently, preschoolers learn best through play-based programs. Through play, children practice social skills such as respecting each other, working together, and taking turns, as well as taking in the fundamental lessons without being aware of doing so.

Creative preschool teaching means successfully and effectively incorporating core lessons into play-based curriculum. Such preschool teaching may include ball play that promotes hand-eye coordination, physical games that sharpen gross motor skills, card games that practice memory retention, writing games that hone fine motor skills, and books and storytelling to further a love for reading and language. The role of the preschool teacher in this capacity is that of facilitator; to creatively present fundamentals in a way that engages students.

Of course, preschool teaching in this modern time often means the integration of computer-based lessons into the classroom environment. Computer learning games spark the interest of children with the use of color, sound, and interactive play.

Preschool teaching requires patience, creativity, energy, and a love of educating children. It requires an ability to take ordinary lessons and make them extraordinary; to take core learning and make it fun; and to make school a place of joy and achievement. Ultimately, the success of preschool teaching will be reflected in a child's lifelong love of school and learning.

Preschool Lesson Resources

Posted by chris

Preschool Lesson Resources

Experts tell us that the preschool years are of great importance in learning as the brain of those under six years of age is like a sponge in soaking up knowledge. Learning a second language is much easier at this age, so we are told. So we can see just how important it is to educate our children properly in those preschool years, but to do this we need excellent resources.

Many parents send their children to preschool, while others prefer to educate their children at home during these vital first years. When choosing a preschool for your child, make sure you look at the curriculum materials to see that they are both interesting and informative. If you prefer to educate your preschooler at home, there are many teaching resources to be found on the Internet.

While teaching resources are not difficult to find, there is the possibility that you may happily download in a hit and miss fashion and not even realise that many gaps have occurred in the child’s education. This happens because there are many topics to learn, but you will often be drawn to something that you or your child favours above others.

For instance, they may love fairies or dinosaurs so you will download everything you can find that has those figures in it. This will certainly keep the child happy, but may not teach them about other countries or introduce the basics of reading to them. To avoid this problem, try and find an interesting curriculum and stick to that - at least most of the time.

With a professional curriculum for your teaching resources you can relax, knowing that all the necessary elements of your child’s education will be covered. Teaching resources such as these have been created by professional educators and will be set up in a way that helps your child learn well and quickly.

If necessary they can be changed a little to add interest. For instance, if the child is really into dinosaurs you can get pictures and stickers of these creatures and use them for counting rather than using apples and oranges, if that is what the curriculum material contains.

Other lesson plans that can be found online may also be used as a supplement to the lesson plans in your teaching resources. In this way you can ensure that lessons for your preschooler are both varied and interesting, making their school time a pleasure. Then when they get to ‘big school’ they will be well able to handle lessons that are slightly harder.

Meg writes about a variety of subjects including lesson plans and how to uselesson plans in primary schools.
