Elementary Lesson PlansHigh quality elementary lesson plans are one of the most important parts of teaching. If you have great plans, you can teach great lessons. 
After teaching for many years, I have found many lessons that are easy to teach, fun, high in academic value and simple to implement. These are some of my favorite lessons.
It is sometimes difficult to think about plans and ideas without a "spark". I hope that these ideas give you a spark and you enjoy them too!
These are all elementary lesson plans that I've taught or have seen taught by great teachers. I would recommend any of them to you.
They are not sorted by grade because each district has different guidelines and benchmarks, but most of them can be modified easily for any primary grade.
Look through them, most have photos, some even have videos, so you can see it in action.
I am also the queen of simple lessons with lots of content and very little prep work, so you can look at the lesson today and teach it tomorrow.
