How to use these lesson plans

This lesson plan packet contains the following:

Book list

1-page weekly lesson plan grid o Alternate weekly grids for 4 day, 3 day, and 2 day programs

5 daily lesson plan sheets

2-page centers explanation

Printables

Use the Book List to stock your classroom reading center and choose which books

you’ll read aloud during the apple theme.

The 1-page weekly lesson plan has ideas for center activities, read alouds,

whole group lessons, small group math lessons, small group science lessons, and small group literacy lessons.

The alternate lesson plan sheets are perfect for creating your own plans if

you teach a 4-day, 3-day, or 2-day preschool program. Simply grab the items you’d like and arrange them to the calendar that’s best suited for you. These sheets are editable – so you can type in the dates, days of the week, and activities. You can also just print the templates and handwrite your plans.

The daily lesson plans delve into the specifics of each lesson idea. Materials are

included along the top of each daily plan. The days of the week and dates on these sheets are editable.

The centers explanation has more information about each center activity. There

are 2 to 3 ideas for each center. Some teachers keep the same activities in each center for an entire week, while others like to change the activities a couple times a week.

You can pick and choose the activities that suit you and your classroom best. For example, maybe some of the small group ideas would be better done during your whole group time. You may decide to use some of the small group ideas during center time. Even though the plans are listed as one week, there are really enough activities to encompass an additional week or two if you incorporate non-themed activities.

Goldilocks Book List

Since this theme is focused on a particular story, read alouds can be handled a few different

ways. Read the traditional story first, and then read different variations of the main story. You

can also supplement the read alouds with books about real bears, as well as fictional stories

about what happens after the traditional version. Below are suggestions encompassing all of

those ideas. Be sure to check out Fantastic Fun and Learning’s Goldilocks book list for

explanations about some of the stories below.

Materials Read Aloud Oats; items for sorting by size Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Whole Group Activity Small Group Literacy

Small, Medium, Large Introduce the vocabulary ‘small’,

‘medium’, and ‘large’ to the children. Bring out a few sets of items to

illustrate what each word means (for example, three differently-sized

bowls). Hold the large bowl up and say “large”, and so forth. Have the kids help you determine which word best

describes each item in the set.

Oats Sensory Writing Tray Place oats in a shallow tray. Children

use their fingers to make designs, numbers, letters, or words. Use the

printable word or letter cards as prompts.

Small Group Science Small Group Math

Real Bears Read a book about real bears. Record

some facts you learned about real bears in a science journal.

Size Collection Review sizes small, medium and large.

Bring out similar items of different sizes. (spoons, bowls, cups, writing

utensils, pape,r etc.). Place the objects in order by size (for example,

baby spoon, tablespoon, serving spoon). Discuss the vocabulary small,

medium, and large as you do.




Materials Read Aloud Oatmeal; thermometer (if possible);

props for story retelling Goldilocks and Just One Bear


Rhyming Words Discuss rhyming words. Brainstorm a list of words that rhymes with "bear." If kids are not quite ready to generate a list of ideas, say 2 words, and have

kids give a thumbs up if they are rhyming words.

Story Retelling Act out the series of events in the

story. (Use real kids, stuffed animals, or paper cutouts as characters). Let

kids help set up props and such to add to the storytelling.


Make Porridge Get creative with the ingredients or

just use a pre-made package of oatmeal. Discuss how the ingredients

change after being heated.

Introduce Temperature Discuss temperature. Make a list of foods that taste great cold and a list of foods that taste great warm/hot.




Materials Read Aloud Construction paper; thermometer Rubia and the Three Osos


Do You Like Porridge Graph Ask each child if they enjoyed the

porridge made earlier in the week. If you don’t make porridge, ask if the

children like oatmeal at home. Make a graph out of large chart paper, with the question written at the top and a column each for ‘yes’ and ‘no’. Kids can write their names directly on the chart, or they can add a bear shape

with their name on it to the chart.

Beginning Sound Sort Papa Bear gets all the pictures that start with the /p/ sound. Mama Bear

gets all the /m/ words. Baby Bear gets all the /b/ words. Be sure to make the /b/ and /p/ sounds distinctive so it’s

easier for the children to differentiate between the two sounds.


Bear Feet Make a construction paper example of a bear’s foot. Compare human feet to the bear foot. Trace each child’s feet

and label with name.

Temperature Recording Continue discussing temperature. Check the local temperature at

different times of day and compare. If you have a real thermometer, move it to different locations and compare the temperature in different areas or

at different times of day.




Materials Read Aloud Gummy bears; counting bears (or

other bear manipulatives) Goldilocks Returns


Compare Bears Discuss real and make believe. Make a

Venn diagram that compares with "Real Bears" and "Make Believe

Bears". Brainstorm ideas for filling the diagram together.

Emergent Reader Read through the book together,

pointing to the words and talking about big versus little. Alternatively, have children help assemble the book by

cutting out and gluing/taping the appropriate illustrations to each page.


Gummy Bear Experiment Make predictions about what might happen to gummy bears in water. Place a gummy bear in water and

observe what happens. Compare it to a gummy bear not in water. Try this with different liquids, and be sure to

record results.

Bear Patterns Teach kids how to fold a square piece of paper and cut their own hearts (you may need to draw the line for younger

kids to cut). Discuss symmetry throughout the process.



http://fun-a-day.com/printable-bear-math-patterns-for-preschoolers/


Materials Read Aloud Counting bears (or other bear

manipulatives) A Chair for Baby Bear


Bear Feet Ordering Order the foot cutouts from the “bear feet” activity earlier in the week. Start

with the bear’s foot, and continue through to the smallest footprint.

Make observations with the children. Who has the biggest feet in the class?

Which feet are the smallest?

Write Your Own Ending Write a story about what happens

after the end of the traditional story. Does Goldilocks ever come back? This could be done individually or as a small

group. If the children make them individually, they could be compiled

into a class book.


Opposites Discuss the use of opposites in the

story (hot/cold, hard/soft, etc.). Brainstorm a list of opposites. Act out

the ones that you can (fast/slow, over/under, short/tall, etc.).

Bear Numbers Use toy bears to “write” numbers.

Discuss number formation while doing so.




Centers

Arts & Crafts Design a Chair – Use recyclables (like cardboard boxes and tubes) to make a new chair for Baby Bear. Be sure to paint and decorate it. Paper Plate Characters – Make the bears

and Goldilocks out of paper plates. Paint

the plates. Then make the faces using

googly eyes, construction paper, yarn,

etc. Can be used as masks while retelling

the story, too.

Science Real Bears - Place non-fiction books in a basket, along with pictures of real bears. Children can draw pictures of real bears in their science journals, jotting down interesting facts. Bear Bridges - Build bridges for toy bears, using plastic/paper cups and craft sticks.

Pretend Play

Teddy Bear Picnic – Plan a teddy bear picnic. Write down your shopping list, and make invitations for your guests. Then pretend you’re on a picnic with your friends and their teddy bears. The Bears’ House – Set up the dramatic play center like the three bears’ house. Children can retell the story, or they can make up their own version.

Literacy Word Making - Use magnetic letters or other alphabet manipulatives to make words based on the story. Letter cards - Print the letters, cut in half, and laminate for durability. Children match the uppercase and lowercase letters.




Centers

Math Number Cards - Children can use the number cards for matching, counting, and numerical order. Add candy hearts or small heart manipulatives to explore one-to-one correspondence. Heart 10-Frames - Use candy hearts, printable hearts, play dough, or other heart manipulatives with the 10-frames.

Sensory Candy Heart Water Play – Use candy hearts, water, and glitter (optional) for this easy sensory bin. Heart Play Dough – Create various colors of play dough. Add heart cookie cutters, foam hearts, and other heart manipulatives. See this idea for inspiration

Building

Heart Tower - Attach the heart number cards to blocks or LEGO. See how high you can make the tower. Building Hearts - Use LEGO bricks, wooden blocks, or any type of block to build hearts. See if you can make them completely symmetrical.
