Today the students will be using Pixie to finish their Snowflake Poem project. They will practice changing the way the "text" looks by changing the font, font color, font style, and font size. Each student wrote a cinquain poem about snowflakes in class. This poem has been added to the snowflake picture they created during the last computer class. Below is an example of what they will be starting with. Please check out the Snowflake Poem Project gallery tab to see their beautiful finished projects!
Today students will continue to create intricate snowflakes using the Make-A-Flake online program. Each student will select one of their favorite creations to be used as the background for their poem in the Snowflake Poem project.
In celebration of winter, the students are going to design their own snowflakes using a free online tool. This is reminiscent of cutting out snowflakes from folded paper. This activity works on fine motor and mouse skills. It is always one of the favorite computer activities! They will write a snowflake poem in the classroom to accompany their snowflakes.
