The purpose of this activity is for students to consider different ways of acting out a story. Students revisit the story from previous lessons, which has another verse added to it. They suggest different ways the story could be acted out. Acting out gives students opportunities to make sense of a context (MP1).
3 little ducks went out one day,
over the hill and far away.
Mother duck said, “Quack, quack, quack.”
Then 3 little ducks came back.

How Many Do You See?
None
The purpose of this How Many Do You See? is for students to recognize and name small groups of dots and describe how they see them. In the Activity Synthesis, students discuss what they notice about different images of 2 dots. Students will continue considering different arrangements of the same number in the next activity. The number “2” is displayed at the end of the activity to give students opportunities to recognize numbers and connect numbers and quantities.

Picture Books Stage 2 Recording Sheet
To Gather
Colored pencils or crayons
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn Stage 2 of the Picture Books center. Students identify and record small groups of objects in their classroom with the same quantity to create their own picture book representing different numbers (1–4).
In this activity, students identify and record groups of 2 objects. They see the groups of 2 objects recorded by other students, students are invited to notice that many different groups of objects can have the same number. Students create one page of a picture book, which is printed in their student book. They have the opportunity to complete more pages in a picture book during centers. A blackline master of the picture book template is included. Each page of the picture book includes a written number in addition to dots so that students can begin to connect numbers and quantities.
