This week we have been reading books that count up to 10.  Our song of the week was “One Little, Two Little, Three Little Valentines……”  The children took turns being a number holder or a number pointer.  Preschool programs should provide children with opportunities to learn about numbers, numerical representation, and simple numerical operations.  Some things a child does to demonstrate competency are to use counting and numbers as part of play, recognize and name some number symbols count up to 10 objects, demonstrate the idea of adding and subtracting using fingers or objects.
