Good morning, friends! 🌈 Today, we're stepping into a magical world where numbers come to life! Are you ready to go on a fun adventure? We’ll explore the land of addition, where we can combine numbers and see what new friends we can create together!
Let me tell you a story about Benny the Bunny and Sally the Squirrel. Benny loves to collect carrots, and Sally loves to gather acorns. One sunny day, they decided to play a game: they wanted to see how many carrots and acorns they could find together.
Now, here’s the big question: How many snacks do Benny and Sally have together?
Gather Your Friends: Get together with your classmates and count out 3 carrot cut-outs (you can color them in) and 2 acorn cut-outs.
Combining the Snacks: Place the carrot cut-outs and acorn cut-outs next to each other.
Count: Start at 1 and count all the cut-outs. How many do you have in total? Can you shout it out?
3 (Benny's carrots) + 2 (Sally's acorns) = ?
Let's find out together!
We’ll create a colorful addition chart on the board. We can use stickers, drawings, or colorful markers to represent the numbers we find!
Once we have counted together, we’ll take a moment to think:
Today, we learned how to add numbers together. Just like Benny and Sally, we can always find new combinations and make wonderful discoveries when we add!
So, let’s keep this magical addition adventure going throughout the day and see how many more friends we can make with numbers! 🌟
Let’s end with a fun cheer: “1, 2, 3 – Addition is the key! 🎉”
Are you ready to continue our adding adventure? Let’s go!
