Students will create a Mother's Day card using the Print Shop application. They will be shown how to access the program. They will select Greeting Cards from the project menu, start from scratch, quarter-fold tall, and start working on their card. They will personalize the card inserting pictures and text.

Students will start the outside page by inserting a border, will add a picture and a text box with 'Happy Mother's Day'. They will increase the font size, change the font color, and change the font style. They will save their projects with their names to their desktops.

The second week, they will move to the inside. They will insert a text box and write 2 good sentences to their mother. They will sign it with I love you and their name. They will print their project.

We will print the card together the second week to ensure correct printing.

This was excellent. There is no log in but I used it for an entire class period with the students who finished the Kodable unit in 2 weeks. I then used it again from the start for all students for 1 more class period
