Before you can plan effective lessons, you need to establish your students' skill sets in communication, language awareness and reading readiness, number awareness and math readiness, gross and fine motor skills, and social and emotional development.  Design lesson plan by keeping in mind the specific user groups - Preschool lesson plans have to be specifically designed to give a proper look for each user groups. In draft stage itself, lesson shall be shared with each staff members Preschool children develop at different rates and have various levels of support in the home, so it should be no surprise that your students will likely display a wide variety of skills and readiness in various areas of development. Major areas to assess before the start of a semester include: verbal skills, phonological awareness, number awareness, fine and motor skill development The number of children you have and how much time you have for assessments will likely influence the type of assessment you conduct, but in general brief assessments (when you have 20 minutes per child or less) can be structured (at a desk with a teacher, using flashcards, using paper and pencil, etc.) while longer assessments should be more naturalistic (watching them at play centers, watching their interactions with peers, etc.). Young children don't have the patience or ability to sit for prolonged assessments. Various early childhood factors contribute to each child's skills. For example, it is not unusual for some 4 year old children to not yet know their alphabets; although more rare, others might already read at a 2nd or 3rd grade level. Identify students with delays, special needs, or giftedness. These students may require additional support throughout the semester, or additional effort to tailor lesson plans to their particular needs. Under law, all students are guaranteed reasonable accommodation for disabilities and developmental delays. Students with developmental delays or disabilities (including autism and learning disabilities such as ADHD) should be referred for evaluation with the district coordinator, who will conduct a specialized assessment that takes all areas of development into account and can put together an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to ensure that children receive the services they need to thrive in preschool. This process can vary by state, so check with your site coordinator. This can be done using a simple computer program, poster board, or even a notebook. By including start and end dates and holidays, you will get an overall picture of the plan for the preschool year.  Label breaks and holidays and number each week of instruction. These numbers will correspond to your plans. Think about the big picture. What are the learning objectives for your students? A theme is a broad category, which you can think of as an ongoing topic of discussion or emphasis. A focus area is a subcategory of that theme, or a more particular instance to draw the children's attention to features of the theme.  For instance, the Mississippi State University Early Childhood program suggests monthly units such as "All About Me," "The Community," "Food," "The Weather," etc. These units would each have weekly a focus area. For example, if the month's theme is "Food," the weeks might be divided into the focus areas "Breakfasts," "Lunches," "Dinners," and "Desserts." The focus areas will be further developed in daily lessons (in this case, each day might be devoted to the mealtime cuisine of a separate culture). Some teachers prefer to choose only a few themes and focus areas to begin with, and from there let the students' interests guide the development of the rest of the semester's themes. School day lengths vary for preschoolers, with some attending half days and some full days, so begin by writing out what time students arrive and leave and any other built-in daily activities (snack time, recess, lunch, etc.). This might look something like:  8-8:10am: Arrival, pledge of allegiance, roll 9-9:20am: Potty break, snack 10-10:20am: Outdoor recess 10:50: Gather backpacks and line up for home These are the areas on which you will focus your individual lessons and activities. Keeping them the same from day to day while changing up the particular activity can help students develop a routine, which helps them feel secure and confident that they know what to expect each day.  These might include oral language/sharing time, letter recognition/phonological awareness, fine motor centers, book time, number recognition and math readiness, small groups, etc. Remember to focus on all major areas of early learning, including emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development. These are each significant in school readiness, the major goal of preschool curricula. Preschoolers' attention spans are short, so changing the activity regularly is a must. This will ensure that the students are able to focus on the activity at hand and meet their learning objective, and it will also help to ward off behavioral problems that can result from boredom. At this point, your schedule may look something like this:  8-8:10am: Arrival, pledge of allegiance, roll 8:10-8:30: Community circle 8:30-8:45: Phonological awareness 8:45-9: Free play in centers OR art 9-9:20: Potty break, snack 9:20-9:40: Reader's workshop 9:40-10: Math 10-10:20: Outdoor recess 10:20-10:40: Vocabulary 10:40-10:50: Community circle 10:50: Gather backpacks and line up for home Each activity or lesson should connect the theme, focus area, and subject area.  For instance, your theme for the month might be "All About Me" and your focus area for the week might be "My Family." In this case, sharing time in the community circle might involve stating who is in your family, math might involve writing the number of family members, and art might involve a family portrait made of dried noodles and beans.
