Ahoy, all first graders. Join Captain Bingham Bear and the rest of his crew for deep-sea learning fun! Pencil-Pal First Grade software launches a clever craft, with plenty of exciting activities stowed on board.  Kids open an onscreen hatch or porthole and discover a behind-the-scenes adventure. In the featured learning game, children fish for answers to practice math and language skills. After seeing a question displayed, they try and catch the underwater sea creature bearing the correct answer. First grade learners can also solve dot-to-dot puzzles and watch them spring to life, while learning letter and number sequencing. Other activities include a drawing area for creating artistic masterpieces and an onscreen coloring book page with a variety of colors/patterns/backgrounds, Jokes and riddles, plus 8 short movies, add to the fun. With the help of First Officer Findley Fox, Parker T. Pelican, Holly Hippo, and Tallulah Toucan, your child will venture into addition, subtraction, counting money, telling time, and more. To experience this software, see the video clip below.
