The Numeral Song

Posted by jlafrance under Uncategorized

On Thursday we learned “The Numeral Song” by Dr. Jean. This song helps children learn number formation. It is sung to the tune of Skip to My Lou.
The Numeral Song
(Tune: “Skip to My Lou”)

1- Come right down and that is all.
Come right down and that is all.
Come right down and that is all
To make the numeral one.

2 – Curve around and slide to the right. . .
3 – Curve in and around again. . .
4 – Down, over, down some more. . .
5 – Down, around, put on a hat. . .
6 – Curve in and around again. . .
7 – Slide to the right and slant it down. . .
8 – Make an “s” then close the gate. . .
9 – Circle around then come right down. . .
10 – Come right down, then make a zero. .

We can sing the numeral song,
We can sing the numeral song,
We can sing the numeral song,
And make numerals all day long!

Arts Alive

Posted by jlafrance under Uncategorized

On Wednesday, Eleanor’s mom, Mrs. Ralston, came and led an Arts Alive project with us.  We learned about the style of the author/illustrator Eric Carle.  Each child created a sea horse layering tissue paper.  Thank you Mrs. Ralston for a wonderful experience!
