This last week before our Christmas break, students have been busy writing labels, greetings, sentences, and paragraphs. Much of the work had to do with Christmas traditions and holiday greetings. Older students constructed a short paragraph about a family tradition, then illustrated it using TuxPaint. The younger students, still learning about the painting program, drew a Christmas object, then used the Fill option to color it in. A quick label or short sentence finished the project.
Students also viewed an ebook, Olive the Other Reindeer, through Tumblebooks. Some also watched The Polar Express.
TuxPaint, the program mentioned above, is a versatile, robust program which is free for most operating systems. To download it to your computer at home, click here. And don't forget to download the stamps!
