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.
