is much more productive.

This was created by a Pre-K student
named Kennedi.
She chose the background she wanted, I inserted the
pictures. She labeled each slide herself. I spelled it out
loud and she typed her sentences. She also chose the
clip art to go with her show.

My Water Cycle PowerPoint

Science Weather Unit 7 GLE 44
How does it work?
Water from the ground is
evaporated.
The water forms a cloud.
When there is too much water in
the cloud it rains.
The water falls on the ground &
forms oceans and puddles again.
That is what the
water cycle does.

This is our story of Abraham Lincoln.
Abe Lincoln was our 16th President.
Abe was born February 12, 1809, in a log cabin in
Kentucky. Abe’s Family moved to Indiana when he
was 7.
Abe’s mom Nancy died when he was nine and Abe’s
dad, Thomas remarried a woman named Sarah Bush
Johnston. They lived in Indiana.
Abe Lincoln became a
lawyer.
Abe got married to Mary Todd. Mary and
Abe Lincoln had four sons.
On March 4, 1861, Abe became the 16th
President of America.
President Abraham Lincoln did not
want slaves.
The south
wanted slaves
but the north
did not.
Then the Civil War came and America
split.
The Civil War
began in 1861.
The North won in
1865.
On Good Friday, April 14, 1865, Abe and Mary
Lincoln went to the Ford Theater to see a play.
Abe was shot by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865
at the Ford Theater. He died the next morning at 7:22.
Abraham Lincoln will always be remembered
as a great American hero.
