We started our day with the Waldorf number story of the number 7. This one included lots of sound effects for a storm and then a rainbow! We learned that there are 7 colours in a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. We also learned a poem to write the number 7 that connected to our story:
Across the sky and down like lightning.
Number 7 doesn't need to be frightning. |
We We then used one of our favourite songs and stories for a counting and number writing activity. We counted how many of each animal the farmer added to his tractor and investigated what happened to the total number of animals when different groups of animals were combined together. We practiced forming the numbers 1 to 5 correctly by labelling the animals with a number. We also challenged ourselves to count the total number of animals at the end of the story.
