I
am so excited to say I FINALLY finished a project that I started at the beginning of
the year! I am not sure why it took me so long to complete but I am excited that it is done.
I
work with students on a daily basis who struggle with fine motor. I have found
that putting a poem when teaching number formation helps to remind students of the correct way to form the number. Most of the students I work with will start at the bottom of the number or
letter and go from there. This makes is more difficult for the students.
I created these posters that teach
the student the correct way to form the numbers. The teachers I work with
use the "Across the sky and down from heaven" version to form number 7, but I respect
that not all teachers or districts are able or choose to use this version so I have a second version
of the number 7 poem!
When purchasing this set you will get
four different versions to choose from.
You will get this adorable number
set with kids and this comes in black and white to save on ink or to create a
tracing book for your students! You can also laminate these pages and stick them
in your math centers with a dry erase marker for more practice.
It also comes with two chevron pattern poem style to choose from. With the poem on the left the words will go down on the side of the number. The
set on the right has the entire poem at the top and the number below.
All of the poems are the same just
in different formats! This will hopefully guarantee that everyone finds a style
that they like!
I hang one set of the poems on the wall for students to view and to
remind myself and the substitutes of the words to the number poems! I use the black and white set to laminate and students use a dry erase marker for their work jobs.
Included
in this packet you will receive a practice page for every number. These are great to put out for morning work at the beginning of the year or when reviewing numbers. Students are to trace the
number, draw the number, tally the number and show the number in a ten
frame. I have also included the poem so parents know the poems as well!
