Kindergarteners Count by 5s and 10s

Throughout the school year, kindergarteners in Diane Schulteis’ class practice counting by 5s and 10s. Every 10 days, a fictional character named Zero the Hero “visits” kindergarten as part of a lesson and students countdown to zero by 5s and 10s. For the 60^th day of school, students made turkeys with six feathers. Students practiced counting by 10s on the feathers, writing the number 10, 20, 30, etc. on each feather.
