Kindergarten Makes Bear Counting Books

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Kindergarteners at PWE have been making mini bear counting books using Microsoft PowerPoint. I set up a template with 6 pages that can be printed as a handout to make the mini book.

Since the kindergarten teachers have been teaching about bears, hibernation, and counting, this activity has helped to reinforce those concepts.
