Preschool lesson plans are a great idea for any preschool educator or homeschooler of a preschooler. There are many free sites online to get too many resources and find them useful. However, I think it's great to go through a syllabus to ensure that cover a wide range of issues is necessary. Preschoolers are at a crucial time for learning.
Many experts say, for example, that the first 6 years is a good time to learn a new language, becausebrain is like a sponge at this age. After age 6 it is harder. It makes sense to me that the same would apply in many subjects.
Take preschool social studies for example. I know I would not come up with something on my own in that field, but if you had a curriculum it would automatically be covered. Or say, if someone they knew is going on a trip somewhere you could find themes or ideas pertaining to that place they are visiting. And again, there are lesson plans you can find online as well and I find they supplement the book or curriculum you are using very nicely.
Preschool art? Oh my goodness, where do you go, what do you do? I know they children LOVE gluing and cutting with safety scissors and they can spend hours just doing that but what if you want a little more? Or say they LOVE dinosaurs, then you could find dinosaur arts and crafts for them to do. You could also incorporate science lessons using dinosaurs. If you had a theme of dinosaurs that cover all subjects I know many a little boy that would LOVE to learn all about them in various subjects.
You could even go all out and get a preschool bulletin board on dinosaurs for a week or month and incorporate dinosaurs in everything you teach them.
So as you can see, there are many ideas on preschool lesson plans and I find that without lesson plans we can't ensure the children are getting a variety of subjects in all areas.
