Toddler Activity Pre-Plan: Part One

1.

What concepts or skills do you want the toddlers to explore or practice as they participate in your activities?
This week in Toddler Lab, the students will be able to explore reading and sensory play together as they read on the mat and are given the opportunity to
use their vocabulary. The children will be able to share and take turns with their peers as they play with the waffle blocks together. At the pizzeria center,
they will be able to take their prior knowledge and mimic what they already know with building their pizzas. At the gross motor center they will be able
to practice mimicking throwing a ball into the different sized holes of the boards.

2.

What would like me to specifically observe about your teaching/guidance skills during your lead teaching day?
This week in lab, I would like for you to observe my room awareness. I want you to look for how I make sure all of the toddlers are included and
interacting with others, as well as making sure the toddlers are being safe with all of the toys.

3.

Briefly describe your planning for the 12 toddlers in your lab in the chart below and how you anticipate them exploring and practicing skills as they
participate in the activities below. Remember to talk to your teaching team before you begin this, so that you are not planning duplicate activities
each week.

IELG D5 G52 CI1:

According to his
parents, he enjoys
reading stories,
climbing, and
sensory play.

Flop and Drop: Wyatt enjoys


reading and sensory play, and I
will have the mat set up in the
flop and drop area which will
peak his interest and get him to
the flop and drop area. As Wyatt
is looking at the books, he will
have the opportunity to say
words with his teachers.

According to his
parents, he likes to
play with trucks,
animals, read books,
and play with his toy
car outside.

Flop and Drop: Bronson enjoys


reading books a lot, as well as
animals. While Bronson is at the
flop and drop area, he will be
given the opportunity to use
simple phrases to describe what
is happening, and what he sees
in the books.

Bronson will use one to two


word phrase to express his
needs and wants at least 3
times each day in lab.

Increasingly uses words and


phrases.

IELG D5 G49 CI5:

or short sentences to convey
needs and wants.

What the teacher will do to


support the child at the
activity (be specific, yet brief)

While at the flop and drop area,


teachers can encourage Wyatt to
repeat words after they read the
book. For example, as you are
reading you could ask Wyatt
what color the dog is, and give
him 2 options. Ask him, is the
dog black or white? By doing
this Wyatt is given a choice and
will more likely use his words
by saying black dog.
While at the flop and drop area,
teachers can encourage Bronson
to use his simple phrases as you
read to him. While reading a
book to Bronson, you can ask
him what colors certain animals
are. When asking, make sure to
give him at least 2 options, that
way he will be more likely to
speak. Say, white dog, or black
dog, making it a two-word
phrase.

with toys that require physical
play, and by playing with the
bean bag toss, Eli will get to
throw the bean bags into each of
the holes. As he does this, he
will have the opportunity to tell
you the colors of the bean bags,
as well as what he is doing with
them.

While at the gross motor area,


teachers can give Eli open-ended
questions about what he is
doing. Give him answer choices
to choose from. For example,
you can say, Are you kicking
the bean bag, or throwing the
bean bag? By doing this you
are giving him options to choose
from, but still allowing him to
use a simple phrase.

parents, she likes to
read books, sing
songs, and color.
Also in lab, she likes
sensory play.

Flop and Drop: Josie enjoys


reading books as well as sensory
activities. In the flop and drop
area there will be a mat that will
peak Josies interest as she walks
on it, which will keep her
attention in the area. While
there, give her the opportunity to

story.

While in the flop and drop area,


give her two options as you ask
her a question about the book.

can prompt Maddox to give
