(PE, Library, PE, Music, PE, Art, PE, Library). This means that I would see every class every six days. This year, library became a part of the specials rotation, so now kids either go to PE or they go to Library/Music/Art. My school is PreK through 5th, and I used to see each class every week for 30 minutes. Is your lesson plan for a class that you have everyday or one that filters through weekly? I would love to incorporate so much of this, but I'm afraid there will be a high need for review that we won't move through the curriculum. I have one classroom for a week, and then they move on through the other specials. I am not a teacher, never have been but have 3-4 classes a day from 2nd through 5th grade. I love your ideas but I'm having a hard time figuring out if they will work in my library. Can't wait to see your future lesson plans! 🙂 Reply These lesson plans are awesome! I taught 3rd grade for 3 years before becoming a librarian and have the most trouble planning for K5 and 1st. I have the most trouble developing plans for K5 and 1st so these are awesome. I taught 3rd grade before becoming a librarian also. Love the format, love the book/technology ideas. Thanks Shelly! I'm hoping that now that I have the format, completing the next grade level will go by faster! I'm shooting for 1st grade to be done by January/February. My goal is by the end of January/February I'll have it done! :0) Reply Thanks Jolee! 🙂 I'm working on 1st grade now. It's really hard to find continuity while planning lessons. Love the format! I would like to see your plans for K-5 🙂 I have a fixed schedule K-5 on a five day rotation. YOU ROCK!!!! I would love to see your lesson plans…I have purchased many of your items but that would be awesome!!! Reply

#Kindergarten lesson plans library update#
ReplyĬongratulations on your new job for next year, Kelly! I love opening new schools, but I've never done that as a librarian so I imagine that's going to be a little overwhelming! 🙂 I've started working on typing up my 1st grade plans and will add an update to this blog when it's finished. Seeing your plans would definitely help me as I prepare for this new job. Though I'm confident in my lessons and organizing of the upper grades, the younger ones make me a little nervous as I try to organize myself. Next year I will be the librarian of a brand new elementary school that will house grades 1-5. Being a fourth grade teacher for eight years before moving into the library that is responsible for fourth and fifth grade has been rather simple to figure out my lessons. I would love to see more for each grade level. If you follow them in order, they will take you through a normal school calendar year (August/September through May/June).ġ3 Responses to “Kinder Literacy Lesson Plans” Most activities correspond to either a Fiction or Non-Fiction book (sometimes both) that are common to libraries, but can also be easily purchased through if needed.

These lessons can be used if you are on a 6-week or 9-week grading period, or can also be used in isolation.

I created the unit to include 36 separate lessons that cover a variety of skills/topics. Some fellow librarians asked what I was doing, and when I told them, they all said that they would love to have a copy! So, I thought I’d put together a collection of my kindergarten lessons for librarians who may need some guidance in their first year or who just need some new ideas for their own “Emergency Binder”.

(You know, those rare occasions when you don’t have the time or energy to try and write up a detailed lesson plan for a substitute because you can barely remember your name!) This year, I decided to type up some of these lessons and create an “ Emergency Binder” to use for those unexpected times when I’m sick.
