Number Poems

   The following poems are helpful when the children are learning to form their numbers correctly. This can be a challenging small motor task and these fun poems assist in the mind connecting to your child's hand when making their numbers. Practice can be done with pencil/crayon/markers/sidewalk chalk/ shaving cream on the shower wall! Once they master writing these numbers they will be able to write 0-100 and beyond! Mrs. Meyer

Zero-    Around and round you go

            and a 0's what you know!

One-    Straight line down I've just begun

            That's the way we make a 1!

Two-    Around and over's what you do

            that's the way we make a 2!

Three-  Around the tree-around the tree

             that's the way we make a 3!

Four-   Down and over-then down some more

           That's the way we make a 4!

Five-   Long neck-belly fat

           Number 5 wears a hat!

Six-    Around in a loop

          and a 6 makes a hoop!

Seven- Straight across slide down when heaven

            that's the way we make a 7!

Eight-   Make an S and the go straight

             that's the way we make an 8!

Nine-   Make a circle then a line

            that's the way we make a 9!
