Using PowerPoint to use concepts taught in grades K-1 has been my new discovery! Each slide can be a reading, math or science concept taught in class. I am so excited to share this with everyone!


First you need a book like The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

Most of the concepts here involve click and drag.


First you will need to create the title slide. This is to get the students attention and type in their name.


Slide 1: Ordering the days of the week


Slide 2: Can be ordering the caterpillar from smallest to largest.



Slide 3 & 4: Comprehension of the story. Sequence the food items that the caterpillar ate. The cocoon can appear on this slide.

Slide 5: Count the number of butterflies and type the number in the box.




Slide 6: The Life Cycle of the butterfly. Students order the sequence of the Life Cycle of the Butterfly. Ongoing theme with previous slides.


Slide 7: Butterfly Glyph
Slide 8: The End
Each week the student is reviewing a computer concept, math, reading comprehension and or science concept.
