The simplicity of this book is perfect for my little learners. We mainly used this to work on counting backwards from 10 -0, but lots of other learning entered the lesson.
Me and Luke made a jar and 10 felt mice to use on the felt board. As we read the book we added and subtracted the mice per the story line -using a plastic king cobra of course :). Other concepts that we worked on were:
-different ways to make a set of ten
-directional words inside/outside, above/below, right/left
-How do we get from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc. (+1) and the opposite (-1)
After we finished reading and playing with the felt board the kids did a worksheet from firstschool.com. They added fingerprint mice to the jar and Luke had to make his mouse look like they had scary Halloween costumes on. Oh his imagination is great!!
