Dear Parents,

We are using a new preschool program this year called 1 – 2 – 3 Learn Curriculum. Each week will be weekly, bi-weekly or monthly theme.

Themes that your children will enjoy like: Down on the Farm, School Daze, Under the Sea and the current theme we’re working on now. Bears Every Where.

Some of these projects will be taken home to share with you and others will be group activities that you can ask about. I think that both you and your child will enjoy this new program as much as I will.

Please make sure you spend time looking at what your children do each week. They are so proud of what they do!

Thank you

Knock! Knock! Game

Have some fun with the old "Knock! Knock! Who's There?" joke. This is an activity that will have your child playing a form of peek-a-boo and learning what "knocking" is all about, learning the names of relatives and friends. You'll need to print out the door on the next page and cut the door out. Tape it to a piece of paper ( any color) only on one side, where it hinges. This way you should be able to open the door. Now have parents bring some pictures of family that they don’t mind getting cut up. Put a photo under the door flap, put the paper down on some cardboard ( or something hard) and then have your toddler knock on the door while saying "knock, knock". Then have her ask "who's there?” Have her open the door and identify who she sees. You might need to help her with the name. Do it again, and don't let her see what photo you put under the door flap so that she can be surprised! Then let her pick a photo to put behind the door and have you, knock and ask who's there.

A cute idea is print up some small pictures off the internet of Ernie, Big Bird, Dora, or any other TV character that the children enjoy. Won’t they be surprised to see their “friends?”

Supplies Needed:

• Printer and paper to print out the door image. • photos of friends and relatives • scissors • tape

Knock! Knock Who’s There? Game

Turn this game into a file folder game. Print up the following sheet onto white card stock. Cut on the dotted line to make the door open. Using double sided tape or glue, glue the piece of paper into a file folder. When you use this game, place the file folder on a table or on the floor so the child can knock on the door. (Make sure you put a picture behind the door each time. ☺ Knock! Knock Who’s There?

Bear Cave Hunt

Find the bears in the cave! All children love to build and play with tunnels. Make a “cave” using a large blanket and some pillows for the toddlers to climb into. Find 3 teddy bears and place them inside the tunnel for the children to find. (Or print out the flowing sheet of bears and cut out). Tell the children that they need to find the bears in the cave and bring them out! If the cave falls over, let the children help you to build it again. As they find the bears, count them, 1, 2, 3 and talk about the size of the bears! What a great job in finding those bears.

Supplies Needed:

• Couch and pillows • Teddy Bears (or printed sheet of bears)

Bear Cave Hunt

Lesson Plan for Preschoolers is done using the book – Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Bill Martin Jr. & Eric Carle. This is a fun book teaching the children about colors and as the book is read each day at circle time, the sequence of each animal on the pages.

You can use the same concept and ideas with a different book. You can locate the above book through Scholastics or Amazon.com. (Also check your local library). ☺

Monday Circle Time

• Welcome each child – talk about today’s activities. Encourage children to share anything new. Start circle time by doing Welcome to Circle Time song. (Page 20 this PDF file)

• Talk about bears with the children. Ask them if they know what letter bear starts with and give them the beginning sound of bear. Ask the children if they ever go to the zoo and see the bears there. Let them answer.

• Introduce the letter of the week:

Letter Chant: Letters, letters, Letters have names. What is the name of this letter?

• On a small dry eraser board, write down the letter N. Ask the children to tell you the letter, and ask them if it is an upper case or a lower case NS. Once they tell you the letter, erase it, and write it small in the upper right hand corner. Ask them to give you words that start with the letter N. Sound them out so they hear the N sound. Draw the picture. (You don’t have to be an artist; the children enjoy your effort). You can also use the following sheets for n words.

• If you do “jobs” during circle time, you can do those now. (Examples: What’s the weather outside? What is today’s day? Calendar)

Bears Every Where

Monday Circle Time – cont.

• Have a large dry eraser board or large sheet of paper. Have the children do an interactive morning message. Until the children get use to this, you say and write it each day. A good example is:

Daily Message:

Good morning boys and girls. Today is ______. Today we’re learning about bears. Love (your name)

Once the children get use to interactive writing, you can ask them to help you write the message. Ask them what you should write. If they say Good morning, ask them what does Good start what, and let a child come up and write the letter G. As the child is writing the G, on your smaller dry eraser board, show the children and have them practice writing G on the floor or in the air.

Have the children write several letters, and then together using a pointer stick read the daily message together. Count together how many letters they wrote. (Use 2 different color dry eraser markers. One color for the children and one color for your writing so they have a visual of the letters they wrote).

Bears Every Where

Monday Circle Time – cont.

• Have children stand up and stretch before you start reading the story book you have chosen for the week.

Stretching Poem

Two Little Hands (All Standing) Two little hands go clap, clap, clap, Two little feet go tap, tap, tap, Two little hands go thump, thump, thump (fists against floor) Two little feet go jump, jump, jump, All little children turn around, All little children sit quietly down.

• Once children are seated, get ready to read the story. Read the title, author and illustrator. While reading the story, ask opened ended questions about the story. Encourage questions about the story, but direct children back to the book if their questions are not related to story. When story is done, circle time is done.

Interactive Writing – Circle Time

Using a large piece of paper, draw ahead of time a brown bear, red bird, blue horse, yellow duck and green frog.

Write out next to each picture. Brown __ear, red __ird, ect. Each day during circle time, do one of the words. Help the children to read Brown Bear. Ask them to sound it out to find the missing letter.

Let a child write the missing letter. As they are writing the missing letter, you can write it on a small dry eraser board for a visual for the children. Also ask the other children to write the missing letter in the air or on the floor.

Words of the Week – N

Print up the following sheets onto white card stock. Cut out and laminate. Use these pictures during circle time if children are having a hard time coming up with N words.

Use the dry eraser board for additional words that they come up with.
