Plan activities well in advance. Consult your preschool's curriculum handbook, or if you design your own curriculum, design themes a minimum of a month in advance.
Design activities that relate to themes associated with the curriculum, enable children to acquire specific skills and concepts and meet their interests. For example, if you're focusing on a zoo theme, plan a literacy activity that involves children creating pictures of zoo animals that begin with specific letters.
Create monthly logs. Break the months down into four weeks and then break the weeks into the number of days that your preschool meets: five days, three days or two days, for example.
Decide what activities you want to incorporate into instruction each week and then decide what days you want to present each activity to students.
Insert activities into the log on the days of the week that you have decided you want to present them to students.
Indicate the times of day you want to implement each of the activities you plan for each day.
