Specific Activity Descriptions

As the children wake up I will have quiet free play set up for them. The materials

robots and the light table with magnetic shapes. At 2:15 I will call the children to
wash their hands and find a set for snack. The children will use tongs to serve
themselves. After the snack checklist the children will begin to eat. As they finish
they will read quietly on the carpet until 2:40 when I play the clean-up song to
begin circle time.

Address the documentation to be completed (how, when, who, what?) and how you will assess if your Learning Objectives have been met:
If my learning objectives have been met then I will know that my activities and objectives were developmentally appropriate. If they have not been
met then I will know that I need to reevaluate my activities and readjust them to better meet the chilldrens needs.
Attach to this document:
____ Statement as to what you have observed to explain why you have chosen this topic and/or activities
____ Step-by-step Instructions for each activity (list activities above, then provide procedures for each item on separate page)
Coordination between Student and Lab Teacher
Y/N

I discussed this lesson plan with the lab teacher before the due date ____ (Students Initials)

I chose this topic of Giving Thanks with my grizzly team. This will be implemented the week before Thanksgiving. We know that many of the
children will be getting ready for this holiday in their own homes. We wanted to satisfy their curiosity without bringing in the commercialized
holiday into the classroom.
Large Motor: On the group time carpet I will have three different colors of duct tape placed onto the floor. Each line will be different. One will be
straight, another will have zig zags and the last will be curvy. The children will practice walking heel to toe on the colored paths.
Language and Literacy: At the table by the sensory tub will be four boxes with salt in them. In the middle of the table will be flash cards with
letters on them. The children will trace the letter on the card into the salt. I chose salt to discourage tasting.
Sensory Materials: I am adding pinecones to the popcorn kernels in the sensory tub.
Creative Arts: On the table closest to the smocks and crayons I will have bubble wrap on lint rollers. The children can dip their rollers in the paint
provided on a plate in the middle of the table and roll it over their papers to create an interesting texture.

Science: On the table closest to the sink next to the creative arts table will be several magnets and various items that are and are not magnetic. The
children will experiment with the magnets to see which ones stick and which ones do not.
Math: On the table closest to the climber will be my math center. There will be five pie pans with pies in them. Each pie will have a number on
them. There will be a bowl full of cotton balls and ice cream scoopers. The children will be able to scoop out the whipped cream and place the
matching number of cotton balls onto the pies.
Creative Dramatics: My classmates and I are creating a pie shop for our dramatic play center. I am adding the pies.
