FCCLA Planning Process Summary
Identify a Concern: Collect Resources that could be used to prepare developmentally appropriate lesson plans
for children ages 2-6 years old.
Set a Goal: Create a Resource Container that has examples of developmentally appropriate ideas in math,
science, physical activities, language arts, dramatic play, and art that can be use to teach a variety of lessons
for children ages 2-6 years old.
Form a Plan:
 Nov 12 – have at least 5 ideas in math, science, physical activity, language arts, dramatic play, and art
from Mrs. Hopkin and Mrs. Lindberg, continue each month to gather ideas.
 Dec 14 – talk to Chelsea and Wendy about ideas I could use for my lesson plans. Look online for ideas I
could use in my lesson plan.
 Jan 10 – start typing up my lesson plan about language arts.
 Jan 12 – make a goal to try and accomplish one thing every other day to put I my files like file folders,
math games, art ideas, science ideas, flannel board stories, or a new book.
 Jan 16 – continue to type up my lesson plan, have teachers read over it.
 Feb 6 – competed at area competition.
 Mar 9 – taught preschool children my activities.
 Mar 17 – sewed an apron to go along with my theme.
 Mar 18 – organized my box.
Act: I have talked to Chelsea, Wendy, and Paige about ideas I could use or activities I could do for my Star
Event. I researched ideas on the internet about language arts; here are some URL’s I have used to research.

fourth edition by, Diane Trister Dodge, Laura J. Colker, Cate Heroman. She also gave me Developmentally
Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs Revised Edition edited by, Sue Bredekamp, and Carol
Copple.
Follow Up: I have applied for a CTE scholarship at UVU for fall 2012. I am currently working in the Timpanogos
High School Wee Wolf Day Care Center, from 7-9 A.M.
FCCLA purposes:
1.) To provide opportunities for personal development and preparation for adult life.
2.) To strengthen the function of the family as a basic unit of society.
6.) To provide opportunities for making decisions and for assuming responsibilities.
8.) To promote family and consumer sciences and related occupations.

I plan to graduate in Early Childhood Education and teach school as a career. By doing this project is
has helped me get and early start on ideas and supplies to teach. It has been very helpful as I have
worked at the Timpanogos High School Wee Wolf Day Care Center. This project has also provided me
with opportunities for personal development and preparation for my adult life, as I have collected
information and uses it in my job in the Child Care Center. This resource container will be helpful with
my own family also so that I might teach my own children. I have taken classes in Family and Consumer
Science that will help me prepare for this kind of career and my adult life. I have also applied for
scholarships for college so that I might be able to go to school and earn a degree.
