Let’s face it this blog is packed with ideas and sometimes that can be overwhelming. When I first started teaching preschool I wanted a friendly guide, with real advice that I could reference quickly about how to teach preschool. I didn’t want a huge textbook or strict curriculum; I just needed a few good ideas to get me started. That is what LITTLE SCHOOL is all about. This ebook is packed with lesson plans for preschool like quick ideas for free choice, fun circle time lessons, my favorite books and more!
I titled this book Little School because that is what one of my students calls my preschool and I thought it fit; this book isn’t only for teachers in a preschool class; it is perfect for homeschooling preschool parents too!
Here is a sample lesson plan :
Included in the 50 pages of Little School :
- 15 circle time lessons
- Printables for lessons ( that you can print out as many times as you want!)
- Tips for classroom set up
- Scheduling advice
- Tips for free choice activities
- My favorite preschool books
- Advice for dealing with parents
And so much more for $12.99

Thank you
Allison McDonald says
I have updated the post with a peek inside and a sample lesson plan!
Angela says
Hi, what age range is your book geared towards?
Allison McDonald says
The range would be 2-5 year olds with the bulk being for 3-5 year olds. I teach 2.5-3.5 year olds and use most of these lessons with them!

Do you have any affiliate program for ebooks? Would love to sign up! ☺
Allison McDonald says
I do not right now but in the back to school season I hope to set one up, I will also hopefully have another book to add to it!
Denise says
I teach 2.5-3.5 and I need all the help I can get.
Colleen says
I was interested in this but the sample lesson alone contains numerous typos and grammar errors. I have concerns that if you didn’t bother to proofread, you may have inaccurate facts in the lessons as well.
Allison McDonald says
Colleen,
I am so glad you noticed that. I took the screen shot early on in the process and before my final edit. My mistake. I will say that I am not the world’s best writer, my editors make a good deal of cash from me, but I am a really fantastic teacher and my ideas work. I hope you will give this book a shot, so much so that if you want I will send you a free copy!
Best,
Allison

Hello Mrs. McDonald,
Two years ago, a drunk driver hit my car. I have not been able to go back to teaching because of my injuries. At this time, I am looking for books, ideas…any type of resources to help me have a smoooth transition once I am physically able to go back to work.
When I first looked at the book on your website, I thought it would be a great addition to my library at home and a great tool to help me refresh my memory.
I was going to purchase it until I saw the typos and grammatical errors. I am now second guessing on whether or not it is worth it to buy this book. When an author of a book has typos, poor use of the English language etc. it makes me lose credibility of the content in the book.
It would be great if you could proofread the book and fix these errors…is this a possibility? I really hope so.
Thank you very much,
Brisa

Brisa,
Unfortunately, all books even published ones sometimes have grammatical errors that just weren’t caught by copy-editors. I can tell you that this book has been edited and re-edited. The ideas are strong, tested in my classroom with multiple groups of children, and the advice is solid. Can I guarantee you that every comma is in exactly the right place? No, but no author could do that.
If you like the ideas I share here on the blog, you will enjoy the book, but I fear you have already made up your mind. I am sorry to disappoint you.

How much is in the book that isn’t already available for free on the website?
Allison McDonald says
Great question, about 40% is exclusive and the rest is re-formatted for your convenience. I will always have a huge library of free resources but the benefit of the book is having it all in one easy to navigate spot!
