Lesson Plan: 1

(Name of activity) Alphabet adventures

(Originating Idea) teaching children their Alphabet and an engaging fun way, that helps them

remember and learn their letter.

(Curriculum area) D. Language, literacy, and communication

(KDI #) 25, alphabetic knowledge, Children identify letter names and their sound.

(Materials) songs, poster boards, flash cards,

(appropriate age group) 3 ½ –4-year-olds

(Beginning of Activity) I plan by starting off the lesson by gathering my 3–4-year-olds in the

center of the room on the carpet. While explaining the activity, I would have a letter board

display with letters of the alphabet, also some flash cards. I would then ask “who wants to show

the class first” I would then have one student come in front to the board, have a flash card and

match it to the letter of the board. There will be educational songs playing at a low volume they

can listen to and learn from.

(Early Extension) For any child having difficulties understanding the lesson plan, I would

prompt and demonstrate the activity one on one. If they are beginning to show signs of

frustration or aren’t getting the concept, I would modify the lesson by changing the materials

moving at those students’ pace and providing option.

(Middle) Some children may be engaged waiting for their turn, some may be distracted focus on

their peers or other things in the area, but mostly engaged but talking loudly.
(Later Extension) Next time I would like the children to match the letter to the shape of the letter

on the board. Then I would have my students that are developmentally ready, Say the full

alphabet and tell me the sound each letters make.

(Conclusion) Once all the students have had a turn, I would end the lesson plan with singing the

alphabet song. Starting from A-Z have a student tell me a letter before transitioning back to their

seat so we can continue with the next lesson.

(Follow up)

 Children will sing and listen to the alphabet through songs.

 Children will sit at the table, color, and cut different letters out.

Lesson plan: 2

(Name of activity) Art lesson plan for children

(Originating Idea) children are going to learn new ways to be creative, create projects to take

home or keep at school, children will use different materials to tap into their creative side.

(Curriculum area) Creative Arts

(KDI #) 40 Art- Children express and represent what they observe, think, imagine, and feel

through two- three-dimensional art.

(Materials) paper, markers, paint, crayons, table, and chairs, newspaper, glitter, glue, stamps,

stickers and print out color sheets.

(appropriate age group) 4–5-year-olds

me with that, afterwards I would have all the students go to the center of the floor to inform them

of our next activity starting in groups of 4 have each group go to a table and began crafting

whatever comes to mind.

(Early Extension) For any students having trouble with the activity, I would allow them to just

use basic materials like paper, markers, glue, and glitter and move at their pace to show their

creativity.

(Middle) The majority of the children I expect to be engaged and focus during the activity

attempting to really bring their art to life, I expect children to be excited trying to show off their

work to peers and staff during this activity.

(Later Extension) Next time when conducting this activity, I would choose a specific idea I

would have the students create whatever comes to mind through building and scoping objects

focus more on 2–3-dimensional art.

(Conclusion) Once all the students get done with their artwork, I would instruct and prompt them

to clean up their areas and place all materials where there supposed to go. Leave their artwork at

the table and meet at the center of the room so I can give instructions on what we’re doing next.

(Follow up)

 Children practice cutting materials with scissors during arts and crafts.

 Children will build sculptures with paint, drawing, and news paper through 2-

dimensional art.
Lesson Plan: 3

(Name of activity) Counting objects and sorting

(Originating Idea) teaching children how to count through objects and sorting by quantity.

(Curriculum area) mathematics

(KDI #) 32, Counting- children count things 36 children measure to describe, compare, and order

things.

(Materials) bowls, small number blocks, drawing boards,

(appropriate age group) 3 ½ –4-year-olds

(Beginning of Activity). I would have each of the children sit at the table in groups, each child

will receive a certain number of blocks and must count and place the number of blocks I show

them on the board into the bowl.

(Early Extension) For the students that aren’t developmentally ready for this level of counting I

would practice counting smaller numbers with edible items to increase motivation and interest.

(Middle) I see most of the class maybe needing some assistance with counting, possibly getting

distracted with their peer’s blocks or the color of the materials. With prompting and help from

staff I see the students enjoying this activity.

(Later Extension) For my students that did well and just need a challenge, I would have them

count bigger numbers, sort different materials and categorize them equally by quantity. To

expand their way of thinking and identifying numbers in many ways.

their materials away. And have everyone transition to the bathroom to potty and wash hands

before we take a break than finish off our last activity.

(Follow up)

 Children count M&M and sort by color amount.

 Children plant seeds outside 1:1 corresponding.

Lesson Plan: 4
(Name of activity) Children engage with peers.

(Originating Idea) To give children the opportunity to physically move and engage with peers

through cooperative play.

(Curriculum area) Social and Emotional Development

(KDI #) 13. Cooperative play- Children engage in cooperative play.

(Materials) blocks, objects, kitchen sets, sensory bins, toys, and dressed up clothes.

(appropriate age group) 3 ½ -5-year-old

(Beginning of Activity) I would place different materials in areas of the center and give choices

for the students to decide on where they want to play then allow each child to transition in the

area, they want to play in.

(Early Extension) For my students that aren’t quite ready to decide on their own what they

choose to do. I would limit the options but still provide a choice on one or two area they want to
play at and start off playing with them until their comfortable enough to cooperatively play with

peers.

(Middle) I would expect to see most of the children engage in cooperative play with their peers,

playing dress up, sensory bins, building blocks with more than enough materials for the children

to share, explore and have.

(Later Extension) Next time, when I’m allowing children to cooperatively play with toys and

objects, I would limit the number of materials so children can work on sharing with each other

by asking for a specific item, decide who they would like to group with to become more

familiarize with their peers and conflict resolution.

(Conclusion) I would conclude this activity with the clean up song. Help students clean up and

put materials back to where they belong, then have a seat in the center of area while I disinfect

tables and toys.

(Follow up)

 Children cooperative play with outside materials

 Children cooperatively playing in pretend play area.
