Numbers Not Letters! (Time)

Daily Question: Can you count from 0-12?

Snack: Peanut Butter Crackers and Dried Mango slices.

Toys: (New) Alphabet Floor Puzzle, Number blocks, FP Race Car Track,



Today, we were learning all about numbers. At snack time we discussed, "how many people are in your family?"

Numbers Songs:
Six Little Ducks
Ten Little Fish
How Many Ducks?
Numbers Song.


Number Books & Nursery Rhymes:
I, 2, Buckle My (Nursery Rhymes by Golden Book)
Jumprope Magic by Afi Scruggs and David Diaz
Fun With Numbers 1-2-3 (World Book)
Berenstain Bears on Time by Stan and Jan Berenstain
6 Sticks by Molly Coxe (Dr. Seuss Book)

Media: We watched a short clip of counting from the award winning DVD Rock N Learn Preschool, Ages 2-5. Counting 1-5, 1-10, 1-20 (English -Spanish).

Follow-up Activities:
Tracing Numbers in wipe off books

Making our own clocks.
Parents, I introduced clocks and telling time in preschool today. Children this age are focused on learning number 0-10. Next year, they will be learning numbers 0-20. They can learn about the hour and o'clock but the minutes will most likely still be confusing (skip counting by fives).
