BLAST Early Learning Teacher Spotlight

Local Thematic Unit

The listed lessons were donated from local preschool teachers so that we may share amongst each other some exciting new lessons.

Jobs

We learned and sang songs about various jobs that included police officers, mail carriers, and doctors. We read stories; such as Community Helpers, and Going to the Dentist. The children loved acting out several jobs while playing in the dramatic play area.

Colors

I like to mix colors (paint) to show children how colors are made. I start with the three primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and then add white for pastels.

Mix red and blue to make purple.

Mix blue and yellow to make green.

Mix yellow and red to make orange.

Mix red and white to make pink.

Mix white with all.

Mix black and white to make gray.

Show and Tell

One of my favorite activities to do with my students is Show and Tell every week on Thursdays! I save it for the last thing to do after circle time!

Alphabet Bingster (Twister Game)

Using our alphabet carpet, each student gets 2 to 3 letters. When I call a letter, the student with the letter has to put their hand or foot on the letter. The first to have their letters gone yells "BINGSTER". Students switch letters and the game begins again.

Science and Sensory

Prepare different foods with different smells and textures. Blindfold the children. Have them use their senses to guess what the food is.  Next - let them taste the food. Take blindfold off to see if they guessed right. This is fun, using your senses and having a great snack!!
