🎯 Skills Targeted:
Counting 1–10, counting backward from 10 (Common Core K.CC.A), number words and number word recognition, number vocabulary, comparison (big/little, few/many), classification (things that melt vs. don't), sequencing, sorting, positional concepts (prepositions), vocabulary labeling, science concepts (states of matter / melting), fine motor skills (clothespin pinch), handwriting, listening comprehension, and following directions.
How to Use:
Read the adapted book in a small group or whole class to introduce number words and the countdown-from-10 storyline. Send home the black-and-white student copy for take-home practice. Use the file folder games, cookie sheet activities, and clothespin task as center rotations or independent work for the rest of the week. The Build a Snowman cookie sheet activity adds an open-ended creative element, and Things That Melt sneaks in a basic science concept. Handwriting sheets reinforce written number vocabulary practice.
