The month of March is nonfiction writing month. What is an easy thing to teach kinders to write about that is nonfiction? Animals! So my school is in short supply of nonfiction books that are age appropriate for kindergarten, so I decided to make my own. We read
Horton hears a Who last week, so I decided to stick with the theme of elephants. I truly believe that as kindergarten teachers we are ALWAYS looking for ways to simplify and modify to make things better for our kiddos. So I put together some info I found on the web into a keynote. I put in some youtube videos. Here are the links:

The kids went crazy for the elephant playing in the water!
I also made a report book that goes perfectly along with the slideshow. Check it out! Let me know what you think:)
Thanks for reading,
