10 Black Dots

We have been working on one to one correspondence to 10. First we practiced making sets of froot loops on a plate with numbers 1-10. Then we read all, but the last couple of pages of  Ten Black Dots by Donald Crews. After reading numbers 1-9, I passed out 10 dots stickers and a piece of paper to each student. They were to use their dots to create a picture and complete the sentence Ten black dots can make.... We came to the carpet and shared our pictures and counted one to one to show our ten black dots. Then we read the rest of the story and compared our pictures to the what ten black dots made in the book.
