Learning Objectives
Students will be able to use one-to-one correspondence to count objects up to 20.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(10 minutes)
- Gather students together for the read-aloud.
- Ask students, "How old are you?" Have students show their age using their fingers.
- Say, "You just counted to tell me how old you are. Today we are going to practice counting lots of things and keeping the numbers in order as we count."
- Read the book. As you read, pause to note how many animals are in each picture, and make a point to note and count each animal individually.
Beginning
- Count to six and have students give a thumbs up when you say their age aloud.
- Allow students to count or tell their age in home language (L1).
- Display a number line or pre-written number cards to connect the spoken counting to the written numeral.
Intermediate
- Provide individual copies of the read-aloud for students to follow.
- Invite students to echo-count after you on each page.
