Rosie's Number Writing: 1 to 5

A kindergarten lesson where Rosie the raccoon shows how to write the numbers 1 to 5. Children start with a fingers warm-up (how many fingers are up, and which numbers fit on one hand), then watch each numeral being formed, trace it with a finger, starting at the dot, and write it on their own. They find every 3 and every 5 on a number board, and finish by dragging the missing numbers into a 1-to-5 number path with dots. Every direction is read aloud.
