When you reach the corner, turn without stopping your pencil.
It is okay to go slow at first, so write each one neatly.
When you finish tracing, check to see if you stayed inside the gray lines.

Shoes are counted as "1 pair, 2 pairs"

Shoes come as a set of two, one for your left foot and one for your right.
We count one set as "1 pair."
Socks are counted as "1 pair, 2 pairs" too.
Gloves also come in a set for your left and right hands, so we sometimes count them as "1 set."
Learning how to count different things makes words much more fun!
