Question

I need help finding Co-taught lesson plans which are designed by teachers and made for preschool age children.

Answer 1

We work with co-teachers at the preschool where I am.  I do all the lesson plans, one skill sheet, one craft, one art table activity and book, music - the other teacher decides the game but we split leading everything evenly.  She does opening one week, I do first paper, I do music, she does craft, snack, I lead art activity. The next week, we switch everything.  I lead everythign she led the week before and vice versa.  Good luck.  I think it's a great teamwork plan.

Lesson Plans from Kindergarten

The lessons below are taken from a unit on the 5 senses that I co-created and co-taught with a group of kindergarten students.

Answer 3

I attended a class on this last month. Think in themes. For example, we did a group project in the class, and we had to come up with a theme and utilize it in every aspect of our interaction with our kids.

We chose a farm theme.

Very easy to incorporate into circle time with songs. Old MacDonald, Farmer in the Dell, Three Blind Mice, etc.

If you do a letter of the day or week, you can find farm related things that begin with the letter and discuss them.

The kids can talk about their favorite farm animals, favorite veggies.

You can discuss all things that we use in an ordinary day that come from farms.

For dramatic play they could act out different farm chores.

For art they could do all sorts of things from creating animals, to making a paper salad.

For science they could plant a bean and watch it grow.

And of course for each of these things you could chart their fine motor and gross motor development as they go.

Example: tearing green paper into "lettuce" is excellent fine motor, and you can teach them how to use scissors as well. Thats something that in my area they dont really start until kindergarten, but my preschoolers are learning!

The farm chores in Dramatic Play would be gross motor.

If your theme is broad enough, you can keep it going for quite a while, like a couple of months or an entire semester.

Jungle Animals
