CDA Lesson Plan Form
Show children how to get beads on/off pipe cleaners

Checking for Understanding (specific questions you will ask)?

How many beads can fit on this pipe cleaner?

Independent Work
Let children put whichever beads onto whichever pipe cleaners

Closure/Transition:

Have children help put all the beads back in the container
(This could be done before outside time so children could run
around after sitting still for awhile)
