Christmas Countdown 20-10 Song & Singable Book Project

This book teaches kids in kindergarten and first grade to decompose teen numbers and count backwards from 20- all with a Christmas theme! Each page has guided drawing "starters" to trace & color on ten frames that help kids learn that that the teen numbers are ten plus a few more. This is a great holiday project that is easy enough for kindergartners but also great for first graders, too, so it would work great for K/1 combination or split classes.

This download contains the MP4 file of the Christmas Countdown song, sung to the tune of "Up on the Housetop", and the complete master, pictures, and detailed instructions you need to make the "Singable Book"! Heidi's class can almost always be found "in progress" making one of her "Singable Books!" Book making helps children learn to follow directions, develop their fine motor skills, and learn reading skills such as tracking, fluency, and concepts of print. Plus, each child winds up with a book to add to their classroom library of which they can each read and feel true ownership!
