Mouse Count

We are practicing a lot of counting, and playing a bunch of number games. Today, we read a story called:Mouse Count, where a greedy snake captures 10 little mice to eat, but the little mice outsmart the snake and they escape. We read the story with a little snake, the jar and 10 little mice. The students are so captivated by the story, that they quickly requested that they make their own snakes and mice so they could retell the story. The green group read it last week, while the blue group read it today. It kept many hands busy for the afternoon!
