For our poem and song, the children learned the poem, entitled Ten Shiny Apples. We read the poem and looked at the words. We identified the number words and wrote the corresponding numbers and post them. We also identified the word 'apples' or 'apple' and made our pictures to post them.
The poem folders are going to be sent this Friday for you to read and do the activities with your child.
We also learned our first pattern, AB. Using two different colours of crayons chosen by the children, they did their pattern of apples.
A wonderful book for this kind of theme was the Dr. Seuss classic, Ten Apples Up On Top. Using a teacher resource, the children counted the apples on top of the dog's head. The children also noticed the AB pattern of the apples I used.
The children counted forward and backward. I also demonstrated counting by 2's. And we played a game by guessing the number(s) that I took out. The children are making their own dogs and ten apples to show their learning.
I also introduced to them this song version of Ten Apples Up On Top and they loved it:
During centre time, the kids love playing this version of the Ten Apples Up On Top. They would request me or Ms. K to play it while they are having snacks or simply want to be on the computer.
