Peruse your school district's kindergarten learning objectives and choose one to focus on for the lesson. Base your lesson plan around this learning objective. For example, you might choose a math skill such as counting.
Determine an overall theme for your lesson plan such as farm animals or oceans. You can tie your district's learning objective into this theme. If counting is your learning objective, you might choose to teach a lesson and ask students to count images of cows and pigs.
Select a children's book from your school library that sets the theme for your lesson. Choose one that is appropriate for kindergarten students and contains exciting illustrations. It should also use simple wording and sentence structures. Use this book as the introduction to your lesson.
Write a lesson plan that includes steps on how you wish to teach the lesson. Your school may have a specific format for recording this, or you may use any form that suits your preference. Include any materials you will need to use during the lesson. Write down the steps with enough detail that someone else could teach your lesson simply from the document. List your learning objective within the lesson plan. Remember that young children have short attention spans, so keep students engaged during each step. Note any accommodations that might need to be made for children with special needs.
Gather the materials listed on your lesson plan. Teach this lesson to the class and then make notes on your lesson plan that detail any changes you might make if you need to teach the lesson again.
