Lead Teacher: Clarah Camp

Childrens Names and Learning/Development Goals:

1. Jakub- His goal is to be engaged and stay at gathering time or small
focus. Jakub really likes hands on activities, and when we make bread
for our small focus he will be able to make something with his hands
and be engaged.
2. Gratton- His goal is to work on his fine motor skills. There will be a lot
of measuring and mixing in this lesson. For art we will be making fake
bread and using tweezers to pick up the ingredient, this will help with
his fine motor skills.
3. Lindsey- Her goal is to learn to count to 20. Since we will be measuring
and mixing certain amounts this will be a great opportunity to have
Lindsey practice and learn her numbers.
4. Lucy- her goal is to socialize. By being bakers she will be able to
interact with her peers through dramatic play.
5. Hunter- his goal is to get ready for kindergarten and learn how to be in
a structured setting. During gathering time when the baker comes he
will have to sit and listen to what the baker is saying, and not talk
during the presentation.
6. Michael- His goal is to write the alphabet. We will be writing
instructions and recipes. Here he will be able to practice writing his
letters.

There was bread in the dramatic play, and Eve carries it around and
didnt know what kind of bread the loaf was.

Description & Objective

Description: The children will each have the
opportunity to make their own batch of bread.

knead the dough through the bag till it is complete.
While in small focus discuss how yeast makes the
bread rise, and how flour is the main ingredient in
bread. While they are kneading their dough, read
them the book that is assigned to their group. They
will be able to take the bread home and cook it. I
will send home cooking instructions for the
parents.

Activity Name
Review- Bread
Tasting

Description

Materials

Have 3 different loaves of bread, Wheat, White, and

Sourdough. We will cut into each loaf of bread and see what it
looks like on the inside of the bread. We will go over the
different types of bread that they have. There will be bags of
bread around the room that they will be able to taste the
bread and we will make a chart comparing the types of bread
that taste the best. We will then discuss the chart and which
type of bread we liked the most and which bread we like the
least.

Bug in a Rug

I will have the children close their eyes, and then I will pick
someone to come up and hide under the blanket. The
children will then have to figure out who is under the
blanket and call them by name by saying Bug, bug, under
the rug
I will have a box and in my box there will pairs of pictures that
are familiar rhyming. For example; Hat/bat, chair/bear and all
of the children will sit in a circle. One child will come up to the
teacher and pull a picture out of the box. They will state what
the picture is and then they will try to find a word the rhymes
with. Each child will get a turn. This will help the children start
to recognize the sounds in the words that rhyme.

Read The Red Hen. Read the book to them and ask various
questions that help them remember how to make the bread
and the different types of bread.

The children will be able to roll the motion dice and then they
will do the motion that it tells them to do. The children will
take turns with the block and the teacher will pick the next
person.
I will read the Rainbow fish by Marcus Pfister. I will ask the
children if they have ever had anything that they had to
share, that they didnt want to. We will discuss sharing and
how that is respectful to our classmates.
