After reading Not a Box by Antoinette Portis, first graders created drawings in KidPix, starting with a simple rectangular box shape. Students also photographed one another sitting inside an enormous cardboard box. Those photos then became the basis for a second set of imaginative drawings. Finally, we assembled both sets of drawings, added narration, titles, and music, and created this video. We hope it inspires you to use your imagination too!

After reading Not a Box by Antoinette Portis, first graders created drawings in KidPix, starting with a simple rectangular box shape. Students also photographed one another sitting inside an enormous cardboard box. Those photos then became the basis for a second set of imaginative drawings. Finally, we assembled both sets of drawings, added narration, titles, and music, and created this video. We hope it inspires you to use your imagination too! First graders practiced active listening strategies while watching a BrainPOP Jr. movie and took one important takeaway from the movie to share with each other. The informational paintings were created in Kid Pix.
Kindergarten students created a painting in Kid Pix of a landform. We learned about landforms together by watching a BrainPOP Jr movie and having a group discussion. Students used a variety of paint tools and mouse controls to draw the horizon outline, fill in the areas with the paint bucket, add appropriate stickers of things found within their landform, and used the keyboard and text tool to add a title and name. Enjoy! Room 003 Room 001 Students in both 1st grade classrooms created digital paintings of various computer parts using Kid Pix software. They chose an item to create after watching a BrainPOP Jr about computers. In Kid Pix, students practiced mouse use (clicking, double-clicking, click-and-drag), adding and typing text, and the computer functions of printing and quitting the software. Room 106 Room 102 During the first Technology classes of the year for 2nd grade students, we discussed the variety of topics they will be learning about in homerooms and in Technology class. Students then chose one topic they were particularly looking forward to and created a painting in Kid Pix illustrating that topic, often attaching a fact they already know or a question they have related to the topic.
