Early Childhood Education: Lesson Activity Plans for Teachers

This assignment presents three detailed lesson plans designed for early childhood education. The first plan focuses on ICT learning, specifically drawing activities using computers, catering to children aged 0-6. It emphasizes introducing children to computers, guiding them in drawing graphics and letters, and includes a reflective session for sharing experiences. The second lesson plan centers on kids' yoga, where children assume the roles of different animals, promoting physical activity and animal awareness. It involves acting like animals, with a reflective session to discuss animal characteristics. The final plan is about setting up a flower shop, where children create artificial flowers using various materials, fostering creativity and color differentiation skills. Each lesson plan includes age levels, number of children, learning outcomes, required resources, assessment methods, and detailed activity components, providing a comprehensive guide for educators.

Prepare an Introductory statement
Early childhood learning is one of the areas that have received considerable
attention in the recent past. This is because children are beings that learn effectively
through use of striking events and most importantly concrete materials. The lessons
plans are basically about visual arts and media arts. Further, the lesson plans will be
divided into various sections that will guide in ensuring that the intention of the lesson
is met. The lesson plans will put into considerations, the age, number of pupils, and also
the learning activity for each lesson. The teacher plans the assessment first, employs
visual learning strategies, gives the kids choice without forcing them, and last use of
strategies that go beyond the book.
