Recommended Lesson Sequence for Pre-Kindergarten
This year-long planning guide maps a year of drama teaching for Pre-Kindergarten students. This is adjusted and shortened from the longer schedule for older students in Kindergarten. We put these lessons in a recommended delivery order below, but you may revise, rearrange, and adapt as you see fit. This sequence is not a mandate; rather, it is intended to provide you with assistance as you build a curriculum for your classroom.
