Child Development Milestones
Writing your lesson plan formats based on the child development milestones is a good practice when teaching young children. Focusing your preschool lesson plans in such a way will help you keep in mind your goals for the children. Visit my page on stages of child development to review the range of development for children ages 3 to 5.
Begin by filling out the box in the middle of the template titled: Concepts
What is the main concept you are trying to teach the children?
Let's say it's The Importance of Trees.
Now begin brainstorming various activities for each of the milestones keeping in mind the children in your class (your little clients). What are their personal needs and interests?
For example, Johnny (it's always Johnny) loves to build and his fine motor skills are weak.
In the box marked 'Fine Motor Skills' you can write: Add small Lego trees and little people.
By using small objects you will help Johnny develop his fine motor skills and he will be able to show that trees give us shade all while playing with a toy that he loves.
Here is another example, a more general one.
One of your goals is to teach the children measurement related words (near, far, long, short).
In the box marked 'Language Skills' write down the words you will focus on during this unit and ways you will introduce these words to the children.
A logical way will be when you are outside with the children to play a game where you call out actions and the kids follow....
For example: "Run closer to the tree", "stand near the tree", and so on.
