Where to find Lesson Plans
Lesson plans is all about helping you to craft fun activities, explore themes, arrange your day, and capture everything exciting that's happening in a given classroom!
To find your Lesson plans:
Learning → Lesson plans
If you're totally new to lesson planning, click on Get started to make your first plan
What can I do with Lesson Plans?
With the help of Lesson plans, you can:
Create a different schedule for each classroom, by week
Copy schedules to other weeks and classrooms, so you don't have to start over every time
Check the permissions of the children in that classroom so that you can plan activities accordingly
Choose which rows you make visible to parents and which ones are only visible to teachers
Clicking on the ... dropdown will open up even more options for you
Add activities from your activity library, or use free text to describe the planned lessons / activities by category
How do I create a Lesson Plan?
Once you're in the Lesson plans section, get started by selecting the classroom you'd like to organize the week for. From here, you can:
Create a note for the week, such as the week's theme
Add sections to the week based on how you plan for your center, for example:
the time of day
the type of activity
the area of learning
where the activity takes place
When adding a section, you can choose if the section should be:
visible to parents or
only be visible to staff
Click on the building brick icon to add activities from the activity library
Add free text
Once you're done, simply click on Publish week. Once a week's plan is published, parents whose children are in the corresponding classroom can view it to see what their child is up to that day, unless of course certain sections are marked as invisible to parents.
💡 Did you know? You can copy lesson plan to save time after creating your first week!
Simply click the three dots of a published or unpublished lesson plan, clone to another week, and then make your edits from there to customize. This allows you to repeat a framework, and edit within that!
