Our class has taken a very strong liking to Pete the Cat. I have even introduced this book series at home to my 4 year old, so I am surrounded by Pete the Cat. Luckily, Pete has helped us in our classroom learning. We used the book Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons to practice our subtraction. The students transformed into Pete the Cat and had buttons that kept popping off. Other classmates then matched what was happening in the story with numbers and symbols to create number sentences. The students loved this activity.
