Our kindergarteners are learning to write the numbers 1 to 10 using correct formation. The following poems help us remember how to form the numbers correctly:

1 - Straight down for one...oh what fun!

2 - Around the corner and "choo choo choo..." that's the way to make a two.

3 - Around a tree... around a tree... that's the way you make a three.

4 - Down...across... (lift pencil up) and down some more, that's the way you make a four.

5 - Across and down, around a beehive, that's the way you make a five!

6 - Make a loop...mix and mix...that's the way you make a six!

7 - Across the sky and down from heaven...that's the way you make a seven!

8 - Make an S and close the gate...that's the way you make an eight!

9 - Make a loop and then a line...that's the way you make a nine!
