Classroom Planning

Classroom Planning in Preschool

Welcome to my classroom!
Here is a little bit about how I plan my year in my classroom. My preschool classroom is a full day program.  My day begins at 8:30 am!  My classroom hours are 7:30 am 5:30 pm.  Here is a copy of my daily schedule.

Kids can come to school anytime between 7:30 am and 9 am.  Each morning all of my classroom centers are open (library, blocks, art, science, and housekeeping).  I ask my kids to find a center to play in and if they choose to go to another center, then all items must be cleaned up before they switch and I also ask that they invite friends to play as they arrive.

Each year I work on a yearly outlook and plan out all my themes, holidays, skills, and bible lessons. This helps me when doing my weekly lesson plans.  Below is a peek of my outlook.  You may also download it for free at my TPT store.

My Yearly Outlook is my PLAN for the year.  I took into account breaks and holidays when planning them out.  I reflected about how kids learn, what they need to learn first, learn again, and are interested in when making my year plan. Like any PLANS, it can change!
We have weekly themes in my classroom.  I LOVE the fact that we can learn about one thing throughout my WHOLE classroom. The kids enjoy moving around the room exploring different areas of one topic!  
I sometimes have kids two years in a row so I try to change up activities each year so they are not repeating what they did last year.

Below is a copy of my lesson plan template.  This is what I use each week when planning. You can download an example here. Click on my Logo!
