Hi,

Question

I am a new preschool teacher and would like some ideas on what different types of lesson plans or activities to do or teach on the first week of school... I also would like to know if you have any ideas or activities that I could do with my students that would help me become familiar with their names and getting the students to know each other...

My kids are 3, 4, and some 5...

Answer 1

Make name tags, play each morning: Whose Name is this? then pin it on the kid for the day. You learn the names, the kids learn it in type. Put a cartoon character they can visualize also.

Answer 2

or you could attach next to the name a pic of the kid. For God's sake, make certain you have those rightly matched, or the kids will learn a new name. :)

Answer 3

Good ideas, Bob!

Answer 4

well kids like to be read to so you could have story time. In my school when I was in third grade I got to do a product with the preschools.
