Kindergarten Lesson Plans Week Two
With distance learning becoming more of the norm, I wanted to share some kindergarten lesson plans for reading, math, and science. These week 2 lesson plans are for you to provide your students with if you teach Pre-K or Kindergarten. Also, if you are a parent these are some ways to include hands-on activities while learning at home. All of these activities are on my TeachersPayTeachers Store, under Kindergarten Lesson Plans for Distance Learning. This is week two of lesson plans and it includes 5 different books with lesson plans. The activities, ideas, crafts, and experiments were made by Stephanie from Kindershenanigans and myself, Kayla from Move Mountains in Kindergarten. These include Kindergarten Lesson plans for reading, math, and science. If you want to read about what Week 1 includes, click here.
Week One Books for Kindergarten Lesson Plans:
These books were chosen because they centered around the themes of what students are learning right now in Kindergarten (the month of April). They have to deal with springtime, hibernation, Easter, and chicks! The five books are: The Good Egg, Bear Wants More, Not A Box, That Is Not A Good Idea and There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Chick.
What is Included:
We picked activities that will be easy to complete at home, easy to understand, low-prep, hands-on, engaging, and honestly FUN! Plus, as a bonus, we included different brain breaks and a lunch idea! My favorite lunch idea is for the book Bear Wants More, making bear faces on rice cakes!
Lesson Plans for Reading
In each kindergarten lesson plan for reading, there is a book you will read or can watch on YouTube with before, during, and after questions. Then, there is a sight word page, a phonics activity with cards for you to use for a sensory bin/ write the room, and a writing prompt that has a mess-free craft to complete with it. I love The Good Egg sensory bin filled with fake grass and plastic eggs!
Lesson Plans for Math
Each day includes a math tic-tac-toe board which has 9 choices for students to pick from. First, there are 9 choices that were picked from Kindergarten Common Core Standards like 2D and 3D shapes, base ten blocks, teen numbers, addition, and subtraction plus more. Next, students get to pick 3 activities to complete in order for them to get tic-tac-toe. Last, there is a printable sheet for math manipulatives that go along with the book and a number line included to help your students and child.
Lesson Plans for STEM& Social Studies
Each day includes similar activities with the exception of STEM and Social Studies. When you buy the whole week of kindergarten lesson plans you will see a daily schedule. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we included a STEM activity, and on Tuesday and Thursday, we included a Social Studies Activity.
The STEM activities include things you can find easily around your house. You will get to determine if objects sink or float, create your own not a box, and determine how to save the fox!
The social studies activities include labeling the life cycle of a chick and learning how hibernation works. Also, students will have hands-on activities and watch videos to explore hibernation.
How to use these Lesson Plans:
Lastly, I wanted to show you how to use these lesson plans during distance learning. You can send these plans as a PDF through email, upload to a private Facebook community with your parents, upload to an educational platform like SeeSaw or Dojo, copy certain pages, and place them on Google Classroom. Once, distance learning is over, these can be used in the classroom as sub plans.
Kindergarten is such a hard grade to send home activities that aren’t just worksheets and I am hopeful these lesson plans can be used in place of daily worksheets. There are now 4 weeks completed. If you wanted to grab the entire month of Kindergarten Lesson Plans, click here. You will get 20 lesson plans to use. Each book you can buy individually or save money and buy in the bundle.
