Class Number Book Students will practice counting to ten and one to one association. These two books have been a favorite read for the kids all year. Each book counted from 1-10, or 1-11 – “Tiarra” has 1 apple up on top, “Emily” has 2 apples up on top, “Cindy” has 3 apples up on top… and so on. The kids filled in the blanks with their name and the number of apples. Since the cutouts were 2-sided, some chose to make a pattern. We used apple shaped calendar cutouts… the kind with green on one side and red on the other. The kids then pasted their apples on top of their heads. To determine how many apples each student would have on top, I had them draw numbers, then distributed apples to each table so children could count out the number of apples they would need. I pasted the sentence “_ has _ apples up on top.” and a photocopied picture of each student on the bottom of each page. The girls’ book had 11 pages, since I had 11 girls, and the boys’ book had 10 pages, since I had 10 boys. To make the pages, I cut 11 x 17 tagboard in half (the long way).
