Writing Numbers

Something we are really working on right now in writing (besides storytelling and drawing our stories) is how to correctly form letters and numbers.  During handwriting we are using a resource called Handwriting Without Tears. The students are really doing a great job, and we would love to continue the same language at home. We will discuss Handwriting Without Tears a little more tomorrow night.  Today, however; our focus in math was recognizing and writing our numbers 1-5.  Please practice using this language at home! Our friends are having a hard time writing numbers, but responded really well to the little number rhymes. 

After we practiced writing numbers on the dry erase boards, they got to play a game called 'spill the beans'.  They would take turns with their partners spilling the beans.  They would then count how many red beans there were and write that number on the game board.  

Happy Orange Day and I hope to see everyone tomorrow night!
