Graham Cracker "Gingerbread" House

while part of me cringes to hear about students having to use a slideshow presentation software as a graphic design program, the simple truth is that your project came out great!

Thanks for the kind words. While using Keynote might be cringe-worthy, the only thing scarier to me is trying to teach five-year-olds to navigate an actual graphic design tool’s user interface. Our focus is teaching kids that objects are compositions of many different shapes and no other app allows them to easily unite shapes to make those compositions or subtract pieces from shapes like Keynote can. We will get them to Illustrator eventually. This right now is the right tool for what we are doing. Here are some second grade ornaments made in Keynote.

Those are some terrific ornaments. Your students are lucky to have you to help keep their creative spark alive.
