Lesson Plans - By Month

Getting Acquainted

I ask that the children bring in a small bag of pictures and other small objects that could be part of a “me” collage. These collages are a good springboard for the children to discuss their unique qualities, and at the end of the year, they enjoy seeing how they have changed.

Get to know you bags

I supply a white paper bag for them to fill with five items that will tell the class a little about them. They fill the bags with pictures, magnets, small stuffed toys, medals, past report cards, awards, etc. Throughout the first day each student will share what’s in their bag and why.

Family Wreath

This was a huge hit with all the families and the children. I placed the wreath in the home living area, and was amazed to see the students, all year long, go over to the wreath and take time to admire it and their family.

Found in: 1st Grade • 2nd Grade • 3rd Grade • 4th Grade • 5th Grade • September

Back to School Back Pack

After the students have arrived, we sit together on the floor to get to know each other.

Autobiography Poem

he first day of school I tell my students that their first assignment will be to write a poem. I usually hears moans and groans at this point, especially since I teach Math. I say that this will be the easiest poem they have ever written because it will be about themselves.
