    The four day lesson plan focuses on introducing preschoolers to different types of buildings through stories, crafts, and outdoor exploration using materials like books, music, real building materials and food items. The plan aims to teach children that buildings can be made of different materials and come in various shapes by having them engage in activities to build houses of straw, wood, bricks, igloos and tepees. Assessment of learning will be done through observation, photos of student projects, and discussion of what was learned each day.

    Learning Outcomes: The children will understand that not all buildings are made from the same
    materials. They will understand that people live in different shapes of houses and not all buildings are
    the same. The children will learn that not all houses are shaped the same. The children will discover
    what buildings are near our school.

    Materials:

    Day #1
    The Three Little Pigs book,
    three little pigs puppets, straw, sticks and a brick. Art materials will include brown paint for painting
    boxes to look like buildings and pretzels and peanut butter for building log houses.

    triangle shapes for Teepees.

    Prior Learning connections: the children will be able to tie in what they learn during center time to
    understand that all houses and buildings are not the same. By starting off the week with what kind of
    building do you live in? The majority are going to say a square wooden house. After the lesson they will
    understand that not all houses are square and wooden. The first day they will build wooden houses
    from pretzel sticks, then they will build ice houses from sugar cubes and icing, the third day they will
    create a different shape of a house such as a T-Pee house and the final project will be blank pieces of
    paper where they create their own house out of whatever they want. This should tie in all the different
    types of houses and materials that have been discussed all week.

    Differentiation/Accommodations: When creating houses from pretzels and peanut butter, make sure
    that there arent any children allergic to peanuts. If so, they can use icing or possibly glue. When
    creating the houses from sugar cubes glue can also be used for those children that may eat the icing
    instead of putting it between the blocks like a mason. Some parents may not want their children to
    have access to so much sugar. That is understandable.

    Special Concerns: peanut allergies, some of the children wanting to eat their houses instead of
    building them. Having small group time so close to lunch time when it involves a food project that the
    children will obviously eat.
    Assessment: Being able to see the final projects of their various houses

    Formative Assessments Taking pictures of each childs projects and speaking individually with each child
    to see if they clearly understand the concept of different houses and materials

    Summative Assessments Group pictures of projects throughout the week

    Procedure: Day #1: Start morning instruction time with a song by Greg and Steve called the 3 Little
    Pigs. This can be a fun interactive song with puppets. For discussion time, put a pile of straw on a tray
    and have the children try to be a wolf and blow the straw off the tray. Do the same thing with sticks and
    finally a brick. Let the children hold the brick to see how heavy it is. Then read the book after they are
    calmed down. During center time have blocks of various shapes and sizes out, have brown paint out to
    paint cardboard boxes and during group time build with pretzels and peanut butter. Day #2: Start
    morning instruction time with an interactive song such as Johnny works with one hammer. Read a
    story about igloos and discuss the materials needed to build one of those types of houses. Show
    pictures of igloos and read the books about igloos and make igloo houses during small group time. Day
    #3: Introduce various shapes by singing a finger play about shapes and showing the children different
    shapes. Read aloud a big book about shapes. During center time let them build with various shapes and
    during small group time let them create a house from a different shape such as a T-pee. Day #4: Open
    up group time with a song about buildings. Show pictures of different buildings such as the bank, post
    office, library, etc. Take a walk to investigate the buildings close to the school. During small group
    time create buildings that you see on the walk. Use various art materials

    Before the Lesson: Each morning at breakfast discuss the question of the day. That gives them a heads
    up as to what the daily lesson will be about.

    During the Lesson: Keep their enthusiasm with a combination of books, music and movement. Be able
    to note when they are losing interest and be able to do something new and fun. Try to use a lot of
    hands on activities that generate a lot of questions.

    After the Lesson: Discuss at lunchtime what was learned that day

    Notes/Reflection: I think this week went super. Direct teaching time was awesome and the children
    were very attentive. They especially like the interaction with the 3 little pigs and blowing the straw,
    sticks and bricks. I have found with this group that if I have real objects they are attentive. They liked
    the pretzel and peanut butter craft but particularly liked the sugar cube and icing one building igloos. I
    noticed this week that they love to build. They love to build out of anything. All different shapes and
    sizes of blocks. I plan to keep this enthusiasm going into the whole month by adding new and different
    activities. I thought the week went well.
