Shapes Come Alive at Lakeside!

Claire Cunningham, a kindergarten teacher at Lakeside Elementary School, and I collaborated to plan a Children’s Engineering activity for her students.  Using the blank Pixie template I created and placed in every child’s folder on the server, the students, in groups of two, created pictures using the shapes tool.  I taught them how to make shapes and how to change their color in Pixie for this project.  It was also a creative way for them to practice their “clicking and dragging” trackpad skill.  Check out samples of their work below.  Can you tell what pictures they were making?  Think creatively! :)
