Toddler Activity Pre-Plan: Part Two

1. What concepts or skills are the toddlers exploring or practicing as they participate in your activities today and where will they explore
them? What TTD Chapter are you referencing?
TTD Ch. 9This weeks activities focus on poking, fitting, stacking, and dumping. The toddlers will poke and scoop up toy ocean critters with fish nets at Fine
Motor, and then dump them back into the water. They will soak up soapy water in sponges and loofas at Sensory and then dump the water onto cars. The
children can stack two-liter bottles at Cause & Effect to knock over with a beach ball. The children will also be able to fit splash balls into the two sides of the
balance scale, and then dump them out again. As the toddlers poke, fit, stack, and dump objects during these activities, they will develop their hand-eye-
coordination, and enjoy seeing the results of their actions.

2. What would you like me to specifically observe about your teaching/guidance skills during your lead teaching day?
Section 2 Criteria d. I set expectations, and explain and follow through on expectations appropriately. Am I setting clear expectations for the toddlers? Do I
explain my expectations in a way that the toddlers understand? Do I follow through with my expectations in a way that helps the toddlers learn?

3. Briefly describe your planning for the 12 toddlers in your lab in the chart below and how you anticipate them exploring and practicing
their goal as they participate in the activities you have planned. Remember to talk to your teaching team before you begin this, so
that you are not planning duplicate activities each week.
