lesson plan with me + kindergarten + classroom organization

all right guys we're back for another plan with me [Music] we've been talking for an hour we just can't find the end all right so i just finished up chicka chicka week um if you didn't see that vlog go ahead oh my god i didn't even dress up like the chicka chicka tree i always do that why didn't i do that oh my gosh literally it just it has been such a crazy back to school year for me i don't know why i've just been stressed stressed stressed last week i didn't really get to i wanted to do a plan with me that was like my whole thing and i didn't really get to show you the beginning because i had to leave right after school i do have to leave shortly but i have pretty much everything ready so i'm going to go through everything show you kind of how i thought about it and just kind of how i organize it and then as the week goes on i'll show you like kind of what we did kind of what we didn't do what i changed all that stuff okay so the first thing i do is i get my board ready for all of next week these are our sight words that we're gonna do um on these black trays they were um they're just from lakeshore i feel like they don't make them anymore they were blue sherry gave them to me and i made them black so we haven't really got to writing yet but when we do we're going to talk about being an illustrator um we're going to be working on retelling we were working on character and setting a lot last week and then we're still doing numbers um zero to five we're gonna be working on letter a next week we follow the og sequence and then we're gonna make this craft um we're gonna practice a lot of like the five frame and the red and the yellow and all that jazz um our little schedule i always talk about we are going to be doing the kindergarten king which i'll talk about in a little bit but these picture cards came with it through the retelling card so i just took them here because i'm like why not and then um that came in the packet it's from my friend alicia so i will link that down below but anyways um also i ordered the book on amazon but it's not here yet but it will go right there so i always put like the books that we're doing all the stuff like our calendars there um i do just a digital calendar because i hate when i used to do it all on here but then it would all get all messed up and i hate that so that is all set up and then like excuse my handwriting but we only have four days next week and i wanted i wanted to make a whole packet so like i made the whole chicken chicken packet um just like a reading resource i call them but i'm exhausted so i'm gonna try to do it this weekend for the following week so i'll be prepared i buy from my friend alicia primary scouts that's the only other person i'll buy like craftivities from well that's not true but like her reading she calls them like read aloud kids or something it's like the same thing um they have like activities that like will fill the whole week they all kind of go together they match the book whatever that's just exactly how i like it so i was like this morning like you know what i'm gonna buy one of her things i have some of her things i could've used but like i'm gonna buy one that i don't have it's more for the beginning of the year and just give myself a break because we don't have our math books though like um we the only thing that we get is like math curriculum the other curriculum like we don't really get like a book or anything like that or like resources we kind of just like do our own thing um like we have guidelines but we get a math curriculum and the books never came in so we're making that stuff up so i'm like i need to just give myself a break so instead of making stuff i bought some stuff so what i did was i wrote tuesday wednesday thursday friday then i looked through her packet and i was like okay i like this activity like this activity this activity whatever and then i put like the activities i wanted and then i put the page numbers so then when i went to print it i could just type those all in then i put color word worksheet because um we're working on our color words and there was one that i wanted to print off so i just wanted to remind myself math um i don't really do it like this i wasn't really sure what i was doing and then i wrote newsletter and homework so i wanted to get that done so tuesday i want to think about it tuesday's the first week of dance so like it's a lot um monday we don't have school and then um in the morning we do the reading stuff and i put like i'm like paranoid that i'm gonna i'm paranoid that i'm like not gonna be able to come to school or something so i'm trying to like put more detail on my plans um and have everything ready to go i don't know why i feel like that but i just feel like that so anyways um i put all the reading activities that i told you about and then um we still take like a little morning recess if this will probably be the last week of that because at first they don't have a lot of stamina and then they start getting used to school and it's like then lunch um phonics um i have it that already and then i'll show you guys what i do and then math i'm going to um do that craft and i showed you guys that craft and then we'll do stations on these days and like i'll kind of work on like pairs of five um in the groups and like some of the groups like perhaps the writing number stuff like that and then um for like writing um i'm gonna do the color word sheet that i was talking about and then i want to start affirmation so i'm going to use that time we have recess but then after recess i can like finish whatever we were doing in writing but i'm like i'm not making two blocks for that i can just do that and then it just shows finish writing then we pack up and dismissal so that's my little lesson plan so now i can just throw this away and then i'm gonna leave this out just because i'll like put stuff in there um i like to like clean up my desk before i go um a little essential oil actually i'm gonna put this in my drawer i don't know if it was taping oh my gosh i should probably reset that but this is like i keep all the resources in the book inside there so i was saying that i have this there i don't know if i got that but i put my little lesson plan in there okay and then we're gonna graph how we get to school so the book is all about kindergarten um and stuff like that so it talks about like routines so one of the routines is how we get to school so we're just doing this we'll be going into the third week of kindergarten but i feel like it's like i'm working on the skill of retelling so like now we're retelling our kindergarten week and i'll show you because there's like a lot of like first day activities so first of all i got my newsletter ready um i'm gonna put those in the mailboxes probably before i leave so they are ready to go and i usually number them in case they fall on the floor um i know who they are but i didn't do that yet and then we give them like a little homework sheet we say that they don't have to do it it's just like extra practice we don't collect it hold on oh my gosh um it's just like monday tuesday wednesday thursday i have yet to put that on my tbt so maybe i'll do that on this long weekend um and then on tuesday we'll read this story um and then they have like this um king of kindergarten thing which i like that and then we'll do the retelling around the graph that i just showed you guys and i'll put their name on post-it notes and then there's a girl like queen of kindergarten thing two and then this is that color worksheet so red yellow orange i feel like it'll just be a good practice and then on wednesday they'll do like a retelling so it comes with these little cards and i have those cards on the board so we'll talk about that and then they'll put them in order um and then oh this actually goes in the next thing oh and then also we'll make a letter a word list for um phonics but i just pull out a piece of paper for that and then um the letter a poem on uh thursday we're gonna do like blank's first day was awesome so like we're just gonna like retell our first day um and i'm gonna do this with them somehow i wore i ate um my teacher my new class and the best part and then they put it all together on the sunshine and then the sunshine kind of like sticks off the side of this so that will be cute i'll show you guys when it's done and then writing sheet for letter a and then um this is like a little counting math sheets like count and uh fill in the number bubble so that's good practice and that's like what we're doing right now i know it seems so simple but that is actually what we're doing um and then on friday we're gonna continue the story we always do the same story all week and then um i printed this off on like all random different color pieces of paper that they can choose from this is like the fuzzy part of the crown they can color these however they want they're the gems and then i haven't read the story yet so i'm not honestly not sure what this part is for it's like blank is clean for the day and i might like have them draw a picture of like their favorite part of kindergarten and maybe i'll write like what it is i don't really know um and then this i do every week so i already sent the ones home this week but um because today is friday and we're going to be doing pairs of 10 so i'm going to or pairs of five so they're going to make a pair of five and then write what they made they'll have to write the letter of the week tell me the sound and then these are the sight words that we're working on so they'll have to tell me those and then that is it i do have to i do have to copy the math craft um but i actually have a lot of leftover apples in my september bin which is right there i didn't put my august bin away yet because we it was like a switch of a month this week um so i will do that um i'm out of breath from talking i guess i don't know in uh that's about it also i also put um in their folders i put the calendar in there so if you've been watching my videos but if you haven't i put the calendar in there and then i put the lunch menu so they have that i have two left over i don't know who they are because i've had people in and out and in and out so i can't figure out who has one and who doesn't and then like i'm taking a paper right now i'm taking a paper right now over here let me show you so i keep a binary i keep a binder here with like they all have a pouch and then when i like collect like beaver notes or parent forms or whatever i stick them there and then like on mondays i put them all away or on fridays just depends on when i have time for that so i'm headed home because it is friday actually i'm not even headed home i'm headed to go with penelope to get her first dance outfit which i think is so cute so that is what i'm doing i will see you later okay so we read the book and it just wasn't as good as i thought it was gonna be um i don't like when little kid books have like a lot of vocabulary that they don't understand so like it's all like he thinks he's the king and it's all terms like fortress and stuff like that oh my gosh my camera's gonna die i think let me just show you what we did so we did this how we get to school um just cause like the little kid goes to school so we graphed and talked about that which i liked because we did the other graph and so they were able to like relate it and then they've been working on these um there was the queen and the king so luckily i printed this out because the graph really didn't take us that long we're gonna probably we're gonna do the apple baskets like i showed you but i caught enough strips for them each to have a red and a yellow so i think we're gonna practice um doing that first and then like making the pears and maybe do the craft tomorrow and i don't know we'll see okay so i have math books all over the place so that's fun i need to put those away i have not yet um let me just show you a little bit of what we're doing my camera's about to die though alright so yesterday my camera was dead i did tape on my phone though but um it is thursday night so i'm just kind of show you what we have been doing this is like the longest week ever we only had four days but i had a period sub which i normally don't mind doing but i hate when i have to periods up for specialist teachers because and then i my kids the whole day and like they don't get away from me and i don't get away from them so it doesn't feel like oh you had specials or anything like they didn't really we can take them to the specials place but usually like i don't like i'll take them outside or i don't know like we'll just do something different so just always feels like a long day when i period sob for like classroom teachers then you know i go into the room and i see like different kids and like it's a good time like i don't mind i don't mind like helping out the specialist teachers either i just feel like the kids need that like okay now we go to gym or now we go to music or now we go to art so there's just a lot there's a lot a lot loud this last night i locked nick out by accident so it was just a crazy day but i did get a new starbucks drink which is amazing it is a um an it car i think it's caramel apple macchiato apple cider macchiato i don't know it's their apple macchiato whatever that is so that is really good but right now i'm gonna kind of just finish up showing you what we've been doing and then um i'll just i'm gonna do toy rotation all sorts of stuff so hold on then i didn't have my camera yesterday so i'll show you today but we did this together and then i had them they'd have cut out all these little words um and like paste them match them to the word paste them no they no that was way too hard way too hard they were kind of confused some of them were like fine but majority was a little bit of a struggle and then we did the royal routine so in the story the little boy wakes up and he has a routine except i didn't realize until today when i did a picture walk through the book because i was like oh i don't remember him doing all this but clearly my comprehension is horrible so this was not the kids routine i think it was like brushed teeth clothes this that i don't know we just kind of did it how we thought we would do it in order so this was really cute and then with that i we talked about like routine and then i have these picture cards on the board like i showed you guys so i pulled them off and they got to like hold them and then they like stood in order of how it went up here and then they like passed the card and somebody else came up so like they were working together to do that also they finished two puzzles this week um i just made them put them away but they did this one i like this is from walmart i like large pieces um but longer puzzles because it takes them longer but it's still not too small two of my kids in here they love puzzles and like they finish this this week um just in a few days so and these are tiny tiny tiny pieces in here so i pulled out the birds i got these from target i should have gotten more but i didn't and then we did these are the little apple baskets that make five that was like our intro to pairs that make five and i have these pride signs here because that's our like school thing but i kind of want to take them down put them somewhere else and print out all the books that we're reading and like put them like on here because i think that'd be so cute but we'll see and then these are their bookshelves sorry they're a little bit messy it's hard for them but um i ordered clear bins for here and they don't come till tomorrow and i like to look like this so since it can't look like that i have them put their marker separate i'm gonna get clear bin because i don't like that there's a blue bin and then um and then there's the writing folders i put like their sight words on the back inside is just like a writing reference like a letter reference i mean and then their rubric that we use for the district um everybody has their little space um and then i'm about to do toy rotation i'm really ticked off because the back of that is like falling off and just bothers me so much but i feel like just taking the back off because i don't know how i i just can't right now and then i'm gonna switch this but i might wait till tomorrow this is looking like a disaster because i've been cleaning it up right and today when they're playing with dramatic play they thought it'd be funny to literally just take everything and put it in the shopping basket so that's that but they did they clean it up pretty well so hey gotta give them some credit also i'm about to make a play-doh cart but again i order clear bins and i want clear bins for the toys things to put in there i don't want them just like laying so i will finish that tomorrow and show you guys that so we finally got our math books and it wasn't gonna do chapter one so we already did it but i'm like i'm just gonna send it home anyway so we're just gonna do chapter one i have all this junk here i need to go through this is what i use for stations um all we have is friday left but i have nothing else planned so i gotta get going all right i organized this so i do use these for writing so i'm keeping them there i like these behind my desk because i'm always printing out labels my clipboard a notebook thing and then um these are books that like i want to make a resource with but i just haven't yet and then i like these clear pouches and then um these are like ones that i already this is a writing resource but then i like the good egg um this is i bought this from primary scouts my friend who i bought the other stuff from from this week but then like some of the resources i make i either use my own or i use hers this i need to go through i put stuff that i need to go through but i usually try to do that like on friday it's not that crazy and then on the top of this is like all my letter stuff so i need to go through that and put some of that stuff away and then um this binder i'll show you guys probably next week what's in there there's something in there right now and then i need to file some of these papers into this this is their like student um like where i keep all their papers and stuff like that so right now i'm just going to go to target and do that but right now that's it so good night all right this is not my best week but it's fine because it's over it's friday i'm going to show you we like we didn't do that much today i don't know sometimes it just goes by so fast like i was giving them a morning recess because we usually do that when we start just because they can't like last but then they were doing something this morning and by the time we were ready to do like outdoor recess as my plan said they weren't ready so i gave them like five more minutes and then i was like i should still let them go outside because it says like on the schedule um and then i told them i was like this is gonna be your last morning recess so have fun they're like really i'm like yeah like you're you don't need a morning recess anymore so i'm sure we'll go out sometimes like on a friday or something but otherwise they are good so let me just show you what we did get done today so we made the crowns that i showed you and then um i just told them they have to write like their favorite part of kindergarten so like i showed them how they could use the um words on the board for like what their favorite part is and i do call it quiet time but the little picture says rest so we do sometimes call it rest time too but they don't really sleep so she like did a little scoop rockers and then made on the smart board so i thought that was so cute and then like this is friends and little heart adorable and even though it's kind of messy we got this worked out so um they're going to start their readers on monday so in the morning they have to do their morning work and not to do their readers um i let them pick from a b and c books just because like if i had them all picked from a there probably wouldn't be enough so we got that accomplished i'm gonna start cleaning up all of last week's stuff starting to put new stuff on so here's mine the little crown thing and we were talking about like coloring using more than one color um we did the readers so somebody obviously dropped this on the ground and didn't pick it up their scoop rockers are disastrous so this is where they picked from um i think i showed you guys that they had finished those other puzzles so oh my gosh they're doing such a good job two of the boys in here are like obsessed with puzzles which i love so they are doing great that is it for this month so if you like this lesson planning with me give it a thumbs up so i know um follow me on instagram a lot of times people like dm me questions from like the video on there which is great because then i can answer you from there and that's it hope you guys have a great rest your weekend for watching this on saturday i'll see you next week bye
