Writing numbers

In Room One, we practice writing our numbers on a daily basis. When forming numbers, we share little poems with the children to help them remember how to write their numbers. At home, your child can practice printing their numbers on paper or even in the snow. Your child may also enjoy forming numbers out of playdough or other materials. Please find the number poems below:

A Straight line down

And then we're done

That's the way

To make a one.

 

Over the hill and across the track,

Then the train goes all the way back!

Two, two,

Two, tow.    

 

Around a tree,

Around a tree.

That's the way

To make a three.

 

Down and across and

Down once more.

That's the way

To make a four.   

 

Straight line down,

Then around.

Hat on top

And five's a clown.

 

Watch this rope do a trick,

Down and around 

to make a six.

 

Across the sky

And down from heaven.

That's the way

To make a seven.

 

Make an S

And do not wait.

Go back up

And that's an eight.

 

A balloon on a line,

That's a nine.
