Counting

Kindergarten students practiced counting by fives and making patterns as they created necklaces. The necklaces were created with student-made beads to represent the whooping crane life cycle and the people who help the whooping cranes. The students also used blue and green store-bought beads to make patterns. Can you count the beads and read the pattern?
