Understand Quantities 0-5

This lesson focuses on being able to state a quantity regardless of the arrangement or position of items. For instance, a group of 5 blocks (lined up, placed in a circle, stacked) is still 5. In these beginning lessons, the children are working on forming the written numbers 0-5 with the correct strokes.

~The library book can be returned as soon as it is finished. The kids will store it in their cubby until their next visit to the library.
***IMPORTANT***

How to pronounce the phonemes

~This is a short video that explains how to pronounce the phonemes correctly. Dialect can affect the way some phonemes are pronounced. The phoneme /r/ presented in this video should be skipped over and modeled by you. Unfortunately, the representation of the short /e/ sound is presented with the word elephant. (egg or edge would be better).

~Your child can follow along on this one until about the 3 minute mark. The phonemes after this point are meant for later grades and not expected for k-kids to master. Your child should practice these everyday until all the phonemes are pronounced automatically.
