I know it is Summer and Back to School time is so far away for many of us…but if you are a teacher, you know that you are already thinking about how to improve everything in your classroom and all of your lesson plans. I’d place bets that a lot of you teachers have already been hard at work, at least mentally, getting ready for the new school year!
In ECE we like everything we do to be intentional. Every part of our day includes some kind of learning. Even at snack time we will talk about what shape our cracker is, which of our five sense are we using? How can we remember our good manners…it goes on and on.
I begin my year with a bulletin board that not only welcomes the kids, helps the parents learn the names of all the kids, but also adds an element that I use to show progress through the year. In other words…it is VERY intentional.
The board is outside my classroom door. It is big-in fact I have 2 classes, morning Preschool and afternoon Pre K, so I break it into 2 separate boards. It starts out with these flowers with empty centers and names placed boldly on each flower.
This is just one of the activities in my “About ME” 5-day lesson plan available in my Teachers Pay Teachers store. Just follow the link below for this on a other ‘done for you’ lesson plans.
