Dear Parents,
Today in math we learned number sequencing using the book, Yertle the Turtle,by Dr. Suess. To begin the activity I read the book, Yertle the Turtle, to the class. Next, I gave each student a piece of paper with ten turtles on it. One turtle was very big, while the other nine were smaller but all the same size. I had the students color the turtles and then number them, with ten being the biggest turtle. The children then cut out the turtles individually. The students then had to glue the turtles in correct numerical order. Starting with one they pasted each turtle vertically on the paper until they made it all the way to ten. Then we discussed the correct order and explained why the numbers were in the order that they were. The children really grasped the concept and enjoyed Yertle being a part of the lesson.
