8. Daily Planner

As educators we have to think of the BIG picture and where we are going. We can only really truly do this once we know the children and their backgrounds. We can then assess weekly what we will do and what we will need to focus on. My overall planning I will use the EYLF Planner but then we need to get down to being organised for the day. My Daily Planner is the best format I have used. It is flexible and editable. You can edit your Daily Planner and stay organised. This is the document I use for my TA to help her see what needs to be organised, cleaned, set up etc… I love this planner as it is too the point and not detailed. It gives a great run down of the day.

9. Kindergarten Guidelines {Editable}

Here are my editable templates you can use in your planning and programming. These templates are designed to be edited whereby you can add your own indicators or copy and paste the ones included.  Even if you are not from WA this document is excellent for expounding on the EYLF for the Kindergarten years.

The five areas of learning and development in the Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines are based on the five outcomes of the EYLF (Commonwealth of Australia, 2009). These areas are designed specifically for Kindergarten aged students in WA . The use the EYLF as the primary basis for learning. The guidelines acknowledge that all children are different and may not achieve all the standards outlined but this direction considers the high expectations and equity as outlined in the EYLF.

The Kindergarten guidelines offer indicators as examples and not as prescriptive standards. This is important as each group of children and context are different. Educators can use the indicators as a guide but know that there is freedom to build upon the guidelines while considering all development areas.

Dramatic Play Centres

16. Zoo Dramatic Play

Set up play around a Zoo theme and encourage Zoo play in your early learning setting. Children can buy tickets and you can set up some enticing areas within your Zoo!

17. Post Office Dramatic Play

If you would like to see children write more then it essential to include opportunities in play for children to do so. I find children will write more prolifically through play than by telling children they “have to write”. Remember to model the different roles for the children so all children are aware of the people they can role play.

18. Insect inquiry Based Play

Helping children to question and delve deeper into play – to question and to think is easy to do. If you find your children interested in bugs here are a few ideas you can print and implement. Insect Inquiry Based Play

  • Set up an Insect Research Office – with books and insects.
  • Add an “Entomologists” costume
  • Set up a Sketching Table with clipboards, markers and plastic insects
  • Colour Table – matching things from nature to your colour chart
  • Questioning – How do we attract butterflies into our garden?
  • Will ants leave crumbs we leave near their anthill?

19. Honey Shop Dramatic Play

This would have to be one of my favourite play centres to set up. A “Honey Shop” where I fill plastic cups with bright yellow and orange cellophane. I have baskets and a cash register and my printables to define the space. The kids absolutely LOVE this and it ties in so well when children show an interest in bugs or insects.

20. Pet Shop Dramatic Play

Children love animals and talking about their pets. I set up this station and the children feed and look after their pets.

I have 10-12 activities labelled for the children that you can use for your Orientation Day.

Sensory Play is very important for children as it helps them to integrate all their senses. Sensory play helps children process all the information the brain receives from touching,smelling, tasting, hearing and seeing.

Print off over 40 ideas and quickly change your play each week.

Early Learning Skills

29. Early Learning Flash Cards {358 Cards}

I have very fond memories of using these flashcards with my own children when they were 3 & 4 years of age! I would wake up and first thing in the morning we would sit on my son’s bed and go through our sounds, numbers and sounding out! It was short and sweet and fun! 5 minutes at the most daily! It worked because both children went to school knowing their letters, numbers and were confident at beginning to sound out! This is the set of flash cards I created to teach my kids how to count, learn their letters and identify numbers and groups of objects. I used the set from when my kids turned three and am still using it with my 5 year old to finish teaching her the first 120 sight words

Beginning Sounds

30. Alphabet Charts {A-Z}

There are 26 full colour Alphabet Charts for you to print off. Each alphabet chart has items that begin with each letter.  Focus on children learning their letter sounds and hearing beginning sounds.

31. Alphabet Craft {A-Z}

Our Alphabet series of teaching resources are designed by passionate early educators who not only want you to help teach your child the alphabet but we want  you to play and enjoy the process! Offer your child a variety of ways they can learn the alphabet. Cut, colour, paste, play and craft the alphabet! Have fun teaching the alphabet!

32. Alphabet Picture Memory Game

Print off this Alphabet Picture Game for a fun and interactive way to hear beginning sounds. Laminating this game will enable this Alphabet Game to be used over and over again.

33. Alphabet Sort

Help your child to learn their alphabet by these Alphabet Sort Worksheets. Children will learn to hear the beginning sounds with each letter. Cut and then sort the pictures with the sounds you hear. The glue and colour. Introduce your children to the Alphabet Charts first so they are confident they know what all the pictures are. Then I would introduce the Alphabet Sort worksheets. Try and focus on one letter per week as a guide. Remember to keep practicing your Alphabet with flashcards but make the practice short, sharp, fun and sweet!

34. Alphabet Beginning Sounds – Dot It!

A – Z Children must clap and dot the syllables in each picture.

Beginning Sight Words

Beginning Sight Words has been designed as a Take Home Program that teachers can send home with each student in the class. There are 83 Take Home Cards that can be printed on card or printed as photos. I love printing them as photos, it may cost a little extra but you can organise it once and use the cards again. Included in the Beginning Sight Words Program is a Take Home Sight Word Cover that can be laminated. You can attach the Starskills Tracking Sheets within and record and monitor each student’s progress.

Letter & Number of the Week Booklets

Each week focus on a number and a new letter. Print these activities as Learning Centre activities or as weekly practice booklets. Great for the children who need a little extra.

For Your Room

37. First Day Sign

 On the child’s first day I take a picture of them holding the “My First Day” sign. I use this photo on the child’s Portfolio and as a memory keeper.

38. Organisational Tags

Time to get organised! Here are some editable labels that you can laminate and stick to your art and craft supplies, play boxes and anything in your room that needs labelling. You can use the ones I have created as well as make your own. Once they are printed you can laminate them and place velcro dots on the back. Taking the time to be this organised will be worth it as supplies and everything in your room will be organised for the long term and years to come.

39. Name Tags

There are editable Name Tags. Simply open up in your children’s names. These are excellent for helping children to find their belongings as they remember the symbol on their tag. As the year progresses they can begin to identify their names without the symbol.

40. Roster {Editable}

This year I have a combined roster. A Sensory & Laundry Roster in one. The week a child’s family is on sensory play they will collect laundry as well. This will mean there is less fuss and parents can be prepared as they know way in advance (a whole year) when they will be on. I am excited to see this up and running. No more laundry and making play dough – as much as I LOVE these things! I have printed my Roster as a booklet. There is a letter at the front explaining what is happening as well as all the recipes Parents will need included!
