11-7-00For a a lesson that is hands-on and will cover a variety of objectives, I gather objects from four different rooms in the house, such as the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and the shop. I place the items in their own bag and them lay all of them out for the children to sort into the correct category. When this has been completed, use the objects play a simple game of "What's missing?" or "What does not belong in this group." These activities stimulate great vocabulary.
9-17-00I work in a little preschool in Hvammstangi, Iceland and in my class there are 1-3 years old children. We have a theme going in our school called "Me and my family" and among many projects we have one regarding homes and buildings that people live in. We take a few walks around our little town and take pictures of the children in front of the house they live in. When the pictures are ready we put them on a big poster and have them in our circle time to talk about and it makes excellent source for questions: Which is the biggest/smallest house, how many windows, who lives there, is it an apartment building or does only one family live there, etc. Afterwards we hang the poster on the wall and they love to point out their house and show mom and dad at the end of the day!
