Learning How to Count

Lately, we've been learning how to count objects.  We've learned how to count using our eyes, ears, hands, or other parts of our bodies.  We're trying to use as many of our five senses as we can to help us get an accurate count.

Here we are with partners using some of our senses to count.  We're moving the object with our hands. We're listening to the sound of the object hitting the container or table, and we're watching with our eyes to make sure we're only taking one object at a time.  Working with a partner helps us practice.

Can you see us moving each object as we count it?

Counting in kindergarten can be fun!
