Imagination Cubed

This week for my classroom scenario, I am choosing Imagination Cubed. I liked this site because it doesn't require you to sign up and use an email address. When you first go to this website, it's all ready for you to get started on your creation. Both of these factors are especially good things to think about for kindergarten-first grade. For some of my other scenarios, I had to log in to a website using my email before the kids could use it. With this site, it just makes it easier to get started right away. I also liked how simple & basic it is, which is also a good thing for the younger children. If we were doing a food unit and the lesson was focusing on reading/writing, I would have the kids draw with the mouse the words "I" and "like". Following these words would be a food of their choice. So, for example, I would write "I like  corn" using the pen for my writing tool. Doing this activity using this website simply makes it more interesting and fun for the kids to write a sentence other than the paper and pencil method. After they wrote their sentence, they could draw their own picture that illustrates their sentence using the pen, shapes, or stamper. After they have finished, I would print them off so that everyone could read their sentence in front of the class and share their creation.
