This lesson plan is for an English class for 3-5 year olds focusing on body parts. It includes various activities like assembling a puzzle of the human body, singing the "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" song, reading the story of Pinocchio, and creating Pinocchio puppets out of cardboard rolls. Scaffolding strategies include using gestures and visuals to support understanding. The plan outlines the purpose, timing, instructions, and transition for each activity, as well as the classroom routines of welcoming the students and saying goodbye. The teacher received feedback to improve the organization and context of each stage, reduce use of Spanish, and revisit scaffolding approaches.

tags on the pinafore. (My mane is……) written in capital letters.

He’s name is Mr. Monkey. Keep him in a cloth bag. Bring out the bag,
open it enough to see in and shout into the bag the puppet's name.

6. Then move your ear to the opening to listen - nothing. Go to each
student and encourage them to shout the puppet's name into the bag -
each time nothing happens. Finally, get all the students together to
shout the name at the same time. This time the puppet wakes up and
jumps out of the bag! The puppet then chats to each student: "Hello",
"What's your name?" "Goodbye / See you" before going back into the
bag and back to sleep.
- Tell them Mr Monkey loves The Hello Song. So, let’s sing the song for
him: Are you ready?

ask them to stand up to sing the hello song.
