Big Energy-Little Learners...Can I do it all?

I am planning for a 5 day lesson plan.  These links only document 4 days.  If I find the time I will try to upload the 5th days lesson. I have them handwritten in my binder right now. There is an activity book I am using for the lesson plan as well that has handwriting practice in it and a few activity pages that correlate to the theme.  This can be easily substituted for any other handwriting activity or activity book that has A-Z and 1-10 practice in it.

Let's begin! I am so excited to start this year of preschool.  I was very excited last year but this year I did my own lesson planning and am excited to see how it turns out. This is our first week, week 1!  Here already.  We had a very busy summer with Jerry spending time in the hospital and recovery time from West Nile Virus and moving across town spur of the moment.  I am also going to be busy with wedding planning until October so I may not finish my whole daily lesson plan due to planning a wedding. I counted out the weeks so week 9 (of preschool lessons) is the week of Halloween. I will be skipping a week in October for my honey moon. Start We started preschool on Labor Day due to the above information so Doll Dragon was home for about 45 minutes of our preschool lesson before spending time with other family members. So to start of the day, and probably most days, we will be doing some movement activity.   Day 1 I had a playlist ready for si...

Reading my lesson plans may seem like a lot but we still have a lot of down time and play a lot during our lessons.  I like to keep my kids busy to keep them out of trouble.  I am a stay at home mom to be a mom and be involved in my kids lives and help them thrive as much as possible.  I don't always finish everything in my lesson plan but I would rather be over prepared then under prepared.  If the kids get bored during a lesson I switch it up or we move on to the next activity.  I try to keep it open for choice in what we do next and ideas on how to do the activity differently.   We often stop in the middle of the activity to add some movement or goofiness so we are having fun together.   It may not work for every family but my kids ask to do preschool and usually look forward to our day of fun activities.  I am planning for a 5 day lesson plan.  These links only document 4 days.  If I find the time I will try ...
