During Calendar Time I have been teaching the kids poems for numbers 1-9. Here they are in case you want to practice at home! I wish I could take credit for them, but I found them online a few years ago :)
1- Start at the top and down we run, that's the way you make a one!
2- Around and back on the railroad track, two two!
3- Around the tree, around the tree, that's the way you make a three!
4- Down and over, down some more, that's the way you make a four!
5- Fat old five goes down, and around, put a hat on him and see what you've found
6- Down to a loop, number six rolls a hoop
7- Across the sky and down from Heaven, that's the way you make a seven.
8- Make an "s" but do not wait, when you get back you have an eight
9- Make a circle and then a line, that's the way you make a nine!
