Write Reader is one of my favorite tools for our youngest authors! It's free, easy to add students to classes, has a bank of images that is continuing to grow, and students can record their voices! I used this even with my Kinder students! Students can write creatively by choosing the pictures in the Image bank or they can show their understanding of what they're learning in any subject area! If you haven't checked it out, I highly encourage you to visit Write Reader and learn more!

This is the 1st lesson of the year I do in 4th grade in our Innovation Lab. It combines design thinking, the 4 Cs, 3D design on Tinkercad and 3D printing. They will use this knowledge later when they learn about augmented and virtual reality and build the California Missions through CoSpaces.
