Grade 3 Gets Creative with Google Drawing

Mrs. Holt's 3rd grade classroom recently completed their study of the regions of Massachusetts.  As a culminating project, students were asked to choose a region and based on their knowledge of the area create a digital poster that might draw families with young children to investigate the area.
Students searched the internet for "free" images and then used Google Drawing to create these attractive posters.  Using Google Drawing, students inserted and modified images, text fields and backgrounds.  Students learned to arrange objects on the page and group them appropriately.  Completed posters were submitted to their teacher using Google Classroom.
Way to go grade 3! What an awesome display of digital design skills!
