"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about numbers from 1 to 5. Can anyone tell me what numbers we will be focusing on today?"
[Wait for responses]
"That's right! We will be looking at the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Let's start by using these flashcards. When I hold up a card, I want you all to say the number out loud with me. Are you ready?"
[Show flashcard with the number 1]
"One!"
[Continue with flashcards 2, 3, 4, and 5, repeating the process]
"Fantastic! Now let's say those numbers together one last time: one, two, three, four, five!"
"Now, let’s have some fun counting with objects! I have some counters for each of you. These can be blocks, buttons, or anything else we can use to count. I’m going to hand out some counters. When you receive your objects, I want you to count them out loud with me. Let’s remember our numbers as we count!"
[Distribute counters]
"Alright, everyone, let’s count together! How many do you have?"
[Guide the counting, ensuring each student counts out loud simultaneously]
"One… Two… Three… Four… Five! Wonderful job, everyone! You all did great with your counting!"
"Next, it’s time to practice tracing our numbers. I have a worksheet for each of you that has the numbers 1 to 5. I want you to take your time and trace over the numbers. As you do this, remember to say the number out loud. I will walk around to help you if you need it."
[Distribute worksheets]
"Okay, let’s start tracing! Take your pencils and let’s trace number one."
[Walk around the room, providing support and encouragement]
"Great job! Keep going! You are all doing so well!"
"Now, it's time to gather around and enjoy a story! I have a lovely book that has some numbers in it. As I read this story, listen carefully for any numbers you hear. Let’s see how many numbers we can find together!"
[Read the story with enthusiasm, pointing out any mentioned numbers]
"Did anyone hear any numbers in the story?"
[Encourage responses and discuss briefly]
"Fantastic! Numbers are so much fun, aren’t they?"
"Before we finish, I want to talk about some homework. For our homework, I would like you to practice writing the numbers 1 to 5 at home. You can also count objects around your house, like toys, fruit, or anything else! Don’t worry; you won't present it in class."
"Can I get a thumbs-up if you understand the homework?"
"Alright, as we come to the end of our lesson, let’s have a quick recap of what we learned today. We learned the numbers 1 to 5, practiced counting with our objects, traced the numbers, and enjoyed a lovely story!"
"Now, before we finish, I would like each of you to share your favourite number from 1 to 5. Who would like to go first?"
[Encourage each student to share]
"Wonderful! Thank you all for participating. I’m so proud of each of you! See you next time!"
