Preschool Grade Talking Points

• "Numbers are all around us! Can you find the number 5 in the room? What does it look like?"
• "Let's draw 3 apples. How many apples did we draw? Can you tell me a story about the apples?"
• "Now, let's try to write the number 2. Start at the top and make a little curve, just like a swan's neck!"
