"A Kid Pix Valentine"-Making a Valentine's Day card in our computer lab using Apple's Kid Pix program
-Ask students what colors, pictures, and symbols represent Valentine's Day. What picture or drawing will you use on your card? What do you want to say in your card? Who is the card for?

- Children have used Kix Pix a couple of times before during our computer lab time; however, they have never entered text.
