1st Grade--Skitch and Drawing Pad Label Practice

One skill we work on a fair amount in 1st grade is labelling. The hope is that if students create photos and pictures with labels and realize why they might use them as a creator then they might pay more attention to the labels they see as readers.

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day students drew a picture in Drawing Pad of 3-5 green objects. I asked them to include items that were "always" green rather than objects that could be green, but could be other colors (such as a backpack or tshirt). They imported their drawings to Skitch and labelled.
