1.  Using the number chart, review counting 1 to 100 by ones. Make sure that numbers come in standard order. Repeat counting by 10’s this time.
2.  Tell the students that they will count to the beat of Macarena. They will follow Dr. Jean, the lady on the screen. I model and show first the different moves from 1-10 to the students. Students follow after teacher. Show and play Dr. Jean’s Macarena.
