Numbers and the Letter "C" 

by Deborah Healey

Sample Easy Numbers Lesson

Off the computer: Print out numbers to color from http://www.EnchantedLearning.com/crafts/books/numbers/
On the computer: Show Rolando Merino’s Counting Story at http://www.magickeys.com/books/count/index.html - teach "bunnies" and have the students say the number, then "bunnies"
Follow-up with some number-related rhymes: One Two Three Four Five at http://www.EnchantedLearning.com/themes/123.shtml

Play "The Ants Go Marching" music with lyrics at http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/antsgo.htm - the students can sing and march along (see more music for children at http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/musicchild.htm). This would be a fun activity for the end of the day.

Sample lesson to practice the letter "c" and "c" sounds

Off the computer: hand out a Letter C worksheet for students to practice tracing letters from  http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/books/writing/

Have students think about words they know that begin with 'c' and add more pictures that show those words. If they know how to write the words, ask students to label their pictures, too.
