1, 2, 3 Story Time: August 19-20, 2013

Books:
20 Big Trucks in the Middle of the Street by Mark Lee*
Count the Monkeys by Mac Barnett *
Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed by Eileen Christelow
Let's Count Goats! by Mem Fox
Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin

Ten Apples Up On Top by Theo LeSieg
Ten Little Mummies: An Egyptian Counting Book by Philip Yates *
Two at the Zoo by Danna Smith

Craft: Apple Tree Match
I made a tree coloring sheet with the numbers 1-10 written randomly on the leaves.  The children were also given apple stickers with each apple numbered 1-10.  The children matched the sticker to the number on the coloring sheet.

Literacy Extensions:
- Play a counting game while in the car.  Have your child find a certain number of things (i.e. ten red cars, three yellow buildings, etc.)
- Learn how to count to ten in different languages such as Spanish, French, or sign language.
