Introducing #3

The song "Three Little Birds" helps with learning number three and a calendar activity

Month 3 · Activity 6 · Numbers

Listen to the song "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley or watch video here. Count how many times you hear the word “three”. (Three is sung twice in the song)
Make flashcards of numbers 1, 2, and 3
Let the child choose one of the flashcards
The child decides on an activity to do that selected number of times
For example, if the child selected number 2, they could choose to clap 2 times. If the child selects the number 3, they could choose to jump 3 times, etc.
Look at the calendar together and review any special dates (such as birthdays or events) that should be put on the calendar for this month
Using a red crayon let the child draw a circle or square around each calendar month’s number 3. A child should be finding all twelve number 3’s on the 12-month calendar

Watch this video to sing about the number three (3)

Encourage the child to put the flashcards in the correct order - 1,2,3

When making a mark on each month's number 3 - say the name of the months
