The most important resource for a kindergarten teacher is the personality of the teacher. Kindergarten students respond best to adults who are friendly and compassionate. Many of them are on the brink of tears at any given moment and need a kind teacher.

The purpose of lesson planning is to set up a framework for the day’s lessons. Kindergarten lesson plans provide an outline of instruction, the method of delivery, the student activities, and a list of any reproducibles or technology needed for each subject.

When writing lessons it is important to keep in mind the need for children this age to move their bodies. The more activities that can be incorporated into a lesson the better the chance student attention will stay focused and the children will retain the main idea.
