Krystal,
I enjoyed reading your posting. I also teach first grade and it was neat to read how your students became excited about counting by fives when you explained why they needed to master that skill. I completely agree with you, students must know the reason they are learning the skill in order to care about it. It is true, success will come only if the students care about what they're learning.
Thanks,
Jenna
