"You
Can't Catch Me!"-Introducing Young Children to the School Setting
Here are some very fun lesson ideas using a gingerbread man to
help your students become familiar with their school.
The Kissing
Hand
There are many lessons and activities to use after reading The
Kissing Hand to your class.
Dear
Me
This lesson plan is easy and the students love it. The first day
of school is tough and this gets the students talking, sharing and
writing. The students will be writing a letter to themselves and they will
open it in June, on the last day of school.
Sign
In
Students will learn to communicate non-verbally, by learning sign
language, lowering the noise level in the classroom.
Beginning
of the Year Review
This lesson could be used for ANY subject area being taught the
first few days of school.
Language
Arts
Several excellent writing lessons that can be used when you go
back to school are located here.
The
Self
Here are lesson ideas to teach the concept of Self. This unit is
ideal for enabling middle grade (6-9) students to examine their personal
identity, their relationships with others, and factors which influence
them on personal and social levels both in the present and the future.
Back
to School Lesson
Students will be given an opportunity to evaluate two poems based
on decisions and outcomes and to evaluate the choices they will make
regarding their education in the coming year.
Getting
To Know Each Other Through Poetry
In this lesson, students will get to know each other through a
poetry writing activity.
