Contents of the work: expand children’s understanding of autumn as a season, give an understanding of the various signs and characteristics of autumn weather phenomena, teach them to establish basic connections between living and inanimate nature.

What does a calendar plan look like for each day?
Calendar-thematic plans for each day are designed in different ways; there are ready-made magazines for sale, lined up. Typically the columns are as follows: month, day of week, day. The theme of the week is in accordance with the long-term plan, for example, as I wrote above “Autumn”, “The ABC of Politeness”, “My Favorite Toys” for October.
Then the columns are as follows: vertically – joint activities of the teacher and children, organization of a subject-development environment, support for the child’s individuality. There may be other columns at your discretion. For example, by goals: social-communicative, cognitive-speech, physical and aesthetic development.
If we choose the second option for recording the plan, then what we can write in the column “Joint activities” on the topic “Autumn” in the line cognitive and speech development:
- Observation “Autumn Trees”, examining the leaves, bark of trees that are on the site, learning to determine the difference between a tree and a bush, characterizing the shape of leaves of different plants, color.
- Encouraging children to actively communicate. We listen to the rustling of leaves, the sound of the wind, and develop sensory sensations.
- Research activity: “What do trees like?” We find out what conditions are suitable for tree growth. We develop cognitive abilities, the ability to observe, analyze, and express our thoughts.
- Problem situation: autumn is a controversial time of year. We learn to analyze the cause-and-effect relationships between natural phenomena and people’s attitudes towards them, we try to analyze the pros and cons of autumn, and we develop the ability to prove our point of view.
- Conversations on the theme of autumn. There can be many topics, I won’t list them.
- FEMP: learning to count, compare quantities, in general, according to the lesson plan.
- Didactic games. Also a great variety, define as you wish.
This is just one column filled in. You also need to fill out the rest, based on the program and long-term plan, as well as the schedule of classes. Difficult for a beginner, right? I hope I helped my young colleague a little. If anything, write, I will answer. I advise you to find a ready-made plan on the Internet and simply rewrite it, and make adjustments for yourself along the way. Should the work plans from the predecessor have remained? If you liked the article, share it with those who may need it. Also subscribe to the news, we will stay in touch.
Sincerely, Tatyana Sukhikh! Till tomorrow!
