PRESCHOOL LESSON PLANS: UNDER THE SEA
Preschool Lesson Plans Under the Sea is week 26 of the Teach for Mastery Preschool Curriculum. Lesson plans are done in a weekly format that can be posted in the classroom, as well as, detailed activity plans which include how to prepare the activity.
Preschool Group Time is intended to be used all year with the Teach for Mastery Preschool Curriculum. It is not included within the weekly lesson plan sets in order to keep the cost of the weekly plans low. However, I strongly recommend purchasing the Preschool Group Time to use all year.

INCLUDED IN PRESCHOOL LESSON PLANS UNDER THE SEA:
- 1 Ocean book recommendation (You read the same book all week to allow children to deeply process and connect with the book. This is why children love to read a book over and over. This also allows you to discuss different aspects of the book at different times: characters, setting, plot, summary, retelling, sequencing)

Teach for Mastery Preschool Curriculum is based on the TN-ELDS. The TN-ELDS compare to most state preschool standards. Therefore, these lesson plans will meet your preschool standards easily. The academic focus for Under the Sea is Ww and Addition in 5.
