I am a preschool teacher, and we start every year off with the alphabet. Begin with a letter, a number, a color and a shape for every week and then focus on it. For instance this is the first week of school for us and we are doing the letter A, the number 1, the color Red, and the shape Circle. We do worksheets to practice writing, we sing songs about our topics. We do coloring and art projects that deal with the topics. Sometimes we even go as far as eat certain foods that help tie the content in, like this week we will eat red apple because it starts with A and is red.
I am sure that you will do just fine. If you don't know any songs do a google search. If you have questions email me. Good luck

Have you had classes in child development? A preschool teacher has to be patient among all else. You also have to be a caring, compassionate individual with tons of energy and enthousiasm! Three-year-olds can wear you out! The most difficult part of being a preschool teacher is the emotional part of teaching and instructing this age. They are frustrating little critters, but so much fun to be with! You get the best job! You get to play on the floor, read stories, build sand castles, and ride tricycles! People don't look at you funny when you spend time blowing bubbles or drawing with chalk! The more involved you are in playing with the kids, the easier your job will be (and the more fun). Listen and learn from the staff around you that is more experienced (you will know which ones have the right idea). Take classes to help you get more information on child development. That will help you so much in the classroom.

I assume you will be working at a daycare/preschool and not in a public school. If you are in a public school, they will likely have a curriculum guide in the district. If you are in a daycare, you'll probably need to come up with your own. If you go to any bookstore, they have a section on education which will have several wonderful books that can guide you. What you are looking for is a Preschool Curriculum Guide or something similar. It will give you ideas for themes and activities that can go along with those themes. For example, you could do a week on "Farms" and they will have suggestions for art, movement, music and language activities that go along with that. Good luck.

All I can offer is encouragement. Every teacher is nervous the first time they teach. I know u've learned and have the credentials to teach pre-schoolers, so those skills and ur knowledge will slowly come out as u teach and prepare lesson plans. I'm sure ur co-workers and other friends in similar situations can/will help u too. Sorry I could be of more assistance.
