Description:

There is not a Virginia Building Block for forming numerals correctly. This is a song about numeral formation. Students like to use the fun pens, like happy faces, stars, rainbows, etc. to trace the large numerals as their friends sing along and form the numeral in the air with their "finger pencil." The tune for all of the "verses" is "Skip to My Lou," thus for the numeral 1 it would be sung as: "Start at the top and come straight down, start at the top and come straight down, start at the stop and come straight down, to make the numeral 1." Each numeral is practiced 3 times. You can adapt this file to your school system's adopted handwriting method.
