Good morning, everyone! I’m happy that you’ve come to listen to a story today.
Today I read Over on the Farm, by Christoper Gunson. This is a counting book that also includes ryhmes and rhyming words. When there are ryhmes in a story, the story sometimes has a rythm. Try to listen to the rythm of this story. You might be able to try tapping your foot to the rythm.
A surprise guest came to visit me while I was reading on my roof, can you guess who it might be?

Remember the “numbers and counters” work we have in our classroom. Who can make a set like that to use in your house? First, maybe you would cut some square papers that you could write the numbers 1-10 on. Then you need to find some items that you can match with the appropriate number, like we do on the mat at school.
If you’ve forgotten how to do the numbers and counters, I’ll give you a little reminder. After you lay the number cards in a line (1-10), below each number, you need to put that many pieces, of one item,. For example; under the number 5 card, you could lay 5 coins, 2 at a time, so one would be left by itself on the bottom row. I wonder what item you might be able to use under the number 10? Take a photo to share with us.
That’s all till next time!
See you again,
Ms. Hoshi
