Public Remarks:	Headings for Button Bingo Grids: * You may want to prepare the headings for the Bingo Grid ahead of time and give your students copies whose column headings are already filled in with attributes of buttons. * If your students cannot read well enough yet, you many want to use symbols as headings instead of words that identify the corresponding attributes (e.g., large circle = big button, two dots = button with two holes, red colored circle = red buttons). Story reference: Lobel, Arnold. “The Lost Button.” In Frog and Toad Are Friends. New York: HarperCollins, 1970. (pp. 28 - 39.)
