I'm sharing with you the steps your little ones might like to follow to draw a snail scene!
This can accompany a reading of One Little Snail our new action rhyme!
Learning About Number One
The action rhyme is perfect for integrating when learning the number one - especially at the beginning of the school year.
- talk about how a snail has one head, one foot, one shell, one tail etc
- talk about other things that come in 'one' - the sun, Earth, each child in your class
- ask students to think about what things they have one of - one head, one belly button, one nose etc
- find things in 'ones' around your school or classroom
- practice writing number one
- teach the sight word 'I' and how it looks like one tall person standing up
- talk about how there is only one Monday in a week, one Tuesday etc and practice saying the days
- talk about how there is only one teacher in the classroom (if this is true for your context) and the classroom routines associated - waiting our turn, raising our hand, listening carefully, following rules
- encourage students to draw lots of 'one' things in their picture to add to the scene or background - one flower, one sun, one cloud, one bird etc
