Description of Activity: What is the learning experience? What will teachers and students do during the course of the activity? Through what performances or products will students demonstrate what they know and are able to do?

The students will be able to use KidPix to design and create a catalogue or archive of activities and events of importance during the school year. This will be an ongoing project that will begin in September and be added to as each curriculum unit is presented. Student participation will involve planning, organizing, writing, illustrating, and developing this project. Their skills in these area will continue to grow and develop as the project unfolds during the year. The class will be taught the basics of KidPix in the classroom and will be able to add to the slideshow. As their capabilities increase, involvement in creating pages will also increase.
