That&#8217;s a pretty amazing accomplishment, considering when they started in September they were just learning to identify their ABCs!  They had previously written a sentence on paper about their wishes and drawn a picture, so today we were making a digital copy for their portfolios.  I was also teaching them some basic word processing skills such as using Shift to make capital letters and using the space bar and punctuation keys.  First I gave them a Pages template with the font already set to a large size.  They typed their sentences and added their names.  Then I showed them how to use Photo Booth to take a picture of their drawings.  Ms. Fennell and I helped them drag the photos to their Pages documents.  They saved their files, then I combined them together into one document and uploaded them to <a href=\"http:\/\/flipsnack.com\">Flipsnack<\/a> for publishing. You can take a look at it online <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flipsnack.com\/AA7AC6EC5A8\/fujazlii\">here<\/a> or download the complete PDF <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/45Spring2014\/KWishes.pdf\">here<\/a>.
