Number 3

Beginning of school has been busy, busy. I am doing Beginning of the Year testing on each of the small fries, which I get done during center time. We are looking at the number 3 this week. We are counting unifix cubes, building little snowmen with me, and stamping the unifix cubes into playdoh. We are also stringing together groups of 3 colors or shapes onto yarn for necklaces and counting out groups of 3 buttons in similar colors. What special things do you do when working with lower numbers? I know I'll be taking out the paints this week as we study the number 3.
