Numbers
Introduce the number for the week with the corresponding numberof objects of your choice. You may wish to use snacks such ascrackers, cheerios, etc. to eat and count at the same time. After you have counted the objects show your child the written symbolfor the number. Put it on the learning poster.
Here are two activities you can do to teach the numbers:
First - create a counting book for your child. Prepare the book witha page for each number to be learned this year. Write one numberat the top of each page. See the list of numbers below. As youlearn a new number each week, allow your child to place the correctnumber of stickers on the page for that number.
Second - create a matching game for your child. Take 2 sets of 26index cards. On the first set write the numbers to be learned. Onthe second set put the appropriate number of stickers for the samenumbers. The first week you will show your child the number onecard and the card with one sticker. As the weeks progress you canhave your child match up the cards correctly. This may take time
