We started with our "10" action rhyme which we will do each program to concentrate on the number 10:
Apples Everywhere
Apples in the orchard (hold arms out like tree)
Apples on the ground (bend to ground)
Apples in my basket (hold one arm like holding a basket)
Apples all around (turn)
Apples in my cider (drink)
Apples in my pie (eat)
Apples everywhere
My, oh my, oh my!
Ten red apples grow on a tree
Five for you and five for me (show 5 and 5)
Help me shake the tree just so (shake body)
And count the apples as they grow
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10
(Apple cutouts and words to rhyme were sent home so parents could do at home)
