10 Little Rubber Ducks By, Eric Carle

Grade- Kindergarten

CC.2.1.K.A.1: Know number names and write and recite the count sequence

Summary:

In the story the ten little rubber ducks students will be exposed to both counting and ordinal numbers. This book reinforces the ordinal numbers by using bold font. The story by Eric Carle is actually based on a true story about bathtub toys that fell off a container ship.

My follow up activity after reading the story would to then create the ducks using Popsicle sticks and yellow construction paper. I would have students label each duck 1^st.2^nd.3^rd. To reinforce the concept of ordinal numbers. Students also would practice counting on their own using their duck counting book during the activity.
