How to use these lesson plans

This lesson plan packet contains the following:

Book list

1-page weekly lesson plan grid o Alternate weekly grids for 4 day, 3 day, and 2 day programs

5 daily lesson plan sheets

2-page centers explanation

Printables

Use the Book List to stock your classroom reading center and choose which books

you’ll read aloud during the apple theme.

The 1-page weekly lesson plan has ideas for center activities, read alouds,

whole group lessons, small group math lessons, small group science lessons, and small group literacy lessons.

The alternate lesson plan sheets are perfect for creating your own plans if

you teach a 4-day, 3-day, or 2-day preschool program. Simply grab the items you’d like and arrange them to the calendar that’s best suited for you. These sheets are editable – so you can type in the dates, days of the week, and activities. You can also just print the templates and handwrite your plans.

The daily lesson plans delve into the specifics of each lesson idea. Materials are

included along the top of each daily plan. The days of the week and dates on these sheets are editable.

The centers explanation has more information about each center activity. There

are 2 to 3 ideas for each center. Some teachers keep the same activities in each center for an entire week, while others like to change the activities a couple times a week.

You can pick and choose the activities that suit you and your classroom best. For example, maybe some of the small group ideas would be better done during your whole group time. You may decide to use some of the small group ideas during center time. Even though the plans are listed as one week, there are really enough activities to encompass an additional week or two if you incorporate non-themed activities.

around and call out a word that rhymes with a student’s name. That

student is next in line in the train

Emergent Reader Choose a version of the emergent

reader to print. For the color version, assemble and read with the kids.

Children can color the black and white version before reading. The blank version allows the kids to add their

own artwork before or after reading.


Vehicle Engineering Design any kind of vehicle you want (maybe even create a new type).

Experiment with different numbers of wheels (or none at all).

Count the Wheels Count the wheels of some of the

vehicles collected earlier in the week. Sort, graph, and make observations.




Centers

Arts & Crafts Stoplight Stamping – Use red, green, and yellow paint. Add in circle cookie cutters, stamps, or cardboard tubes. Shape Vehicles – Use basic paper shapes to create a vehicle of your choice.

Science Cars and Ramps – Experiment with how fast toy vehicles go using different angles of ramps. Be sure to record observations. Investigate Tracks – Use different toy vehicles to make tracks in sand, dirt, or flour. Compare and contrast the patterns they make.

Pretend Play

Maintenance Shop – Turn the dramatic play center into an auto shop. Children can pretend to repair and maintain vehicles. Be sure to set out tools, overalls, and a cash register. Take the Train – The inside of the pretend play center gets turned into a train. Add chairs and dress up clothes for the train employees and the train riders.

Literacy Syllable Sort – Clap to count the syllables in the different vehicles. Sort picture cards by number of syllables. Word Making – Use magnetic letters, letter tiles, or other alphabet manipulatives to make vehicle/transportation words.




Centers

Math Train Numbers - Print and use the train numbers for various early math activities (sorting, counting, numerical order, etc.). Number Clip Cards - Children attach a clothespin or paper clip to the correct number on the cards. Laminate for durability.

Sensory Vehicle Sensory Bin - Add dirt, black beans, or coffee grounds to a bin. Place toy vehicles in the bin, along with shovels and measuring cups. Airplane Sensory Bin - Add blue rice (or blue pebbles) to a sensory bin. Place cotton balls in for clouds. Add in toy planes or helicopters (or use the printable cards).

Building

Vehicle Town - Create a town with blocks. Be sure to leave space for toy trucks and cars to drive through. Add in some homemade traffic signs. LEGO Vehicles - Use LEGO blocks and tires to create all types of vehicles. See who can make the tallest, the longest, the fastest, etc.
