Bring Creative Digital Projects to Kindergarten Classrooms!
In kindergarten, students are ready to get reading, writing, and counting. They are also ready to be creators!
With Wixie they can write, paint pictures, and tell stories building essential foundations for literacy, numbers sense and more.
From sentence strips to number stories, standards-based activities to digital books, Wixie provides a range of options, all in just one tool.
Jump to an idea to find a project created by students in Wixie, support resources and connected templates.
"Wixie is friendlier for the littlest learners. I can create and assign a project in seconds and it is way easier for students to record their voice and add text. Wixie's enormous image bank means I don't have to find images elsewhere for my Kindergartners or worry about copyright laws when using images."
