Literacy Math As we begin this theme, children will recite and learn Children will begin to collect data and organize it in many traditional nursery rhymes. Sometimes we give simple graphs. We use tally marks to keep track of them a bit of a twist like Dr. Becky Bailey has done our data. You will also hear your child using ordinal with “Wonderful Woman.” This poem is a new version numbers (first, second, third) to indicate order. Help of the traditional poem “There Was an Old Woman your child practice at home with a simple sorting Who Lived in a Shoe.” Learn this one and enjoy reciting activity. Make an observation. For example, say: The it with your child. glass of milk is bigger than the salt shaker. Ask your child to identify something else that is bigger than Wonderful Woman the salt shaker. Continue and then switch to smaller by Becky Bailey objects. Say: My carrot stick is smaller than the salt shaker. Physically sort the objects into two groups A wonderful woman lived in a shoe or keep a tally mark count. Repeat the activity with (hold hands) She had so many children other comparing words, such as longer and shorter, (“Lead” partner turns other partner’s hands thicker and thinner, heavier and lighter. over palms up) She knew exactly what to do.
