Storytime Theme: Sight
This is the first lesson plan in a five-part series for preschoolers to learn more about their five senses! Combining fiction and nonfiction titles, kids get to learn about their eyes and sight, why some people have to wear glasses, and how animals use their different kinds of eyes to see! Plus, there are a handful of songs, rhymes, crafts, and activities to round out the lesson plan or to extend learning beyond the books.
This would also make a great lesson plan for a simple STEM program for preschoolers at a PreK classroom, library, or at home. Combine this lesson plan with a few science “experiments” using your eyes for a complete program.
