1st Grade -- Primary Wall & Tux Paint

I tried two lessons for my Elite 3 project.
Lesson 1: We visited primarywall.com. It is a web based sticky note tool designed for schools that allow pupils and teachers to easily share ideas and information in a collaborative environment.  It works in real time.
We posted Ways to make 10. http://blue.primarywall.com/3     Then we worked with partners to locate and post words with the chunk _ook.  http://blue.primarywall.com/7
Another idea we are going to try is posting “How many words can you make from these letters” like “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
Lesson 2: We visited tux paint. http://tuxpaint.org/download/ It is a free drawing, painting, and stamping program. The first graders “painted” a picture on the program. Then, they wrote a story to match their picture. It has been a high interest activity. These are story drafts.  They have not been edited.
