【實用教育app】Sendy: Steam-Paint Kids Art|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

Learning to write, draw and send messages to family is empowering. We created Sendy so children could tinker with unique writing and drawing tools, inspired by innovations of the past, present and future. This charming steam-mechanized world is just the right place for budding artists and writers to innovate and express ideas. Antique rebus messages, airships and steam-filled gizmos are fun tools for your family, and for the friendly robot family found in this app.

We hope parents delight as they receive special messages created on Sendy. In today’s world where air travel, wireless messaging and digital technology are commonplace, we want to encourage the heartfelt connections between parents and children. For those interested, Sendy includes Juddly, our one-way email system, so childhood messages to loved ones are received via a safe, secure passage.

Ask children about the paint-filled trolley that whistles and delivers new colors into view. Sendy is designed to pull artistry and visual storytelling from those young students who often prefer to play with toys and mechanized gadgets rather than to write, draw or send messages to loved ones. It’s fun to create with Sendy.

ESPECIALLY FOR TEACHERS

This game is designed to coordinate with US Common Core Standards:

-(K.W.3 - 3.W.3) Writing narratives, both real and imagined, begins as early as Kindergarten and include drawing, dictating and writing text to narrate events.

-(K.W.3 - 3.W.3 ) Students practicing alphabet letter formation for print and cursive can use Sendy for practice with writing letters and words.

-(K-12 W.5) Within each grade level students need to be able to look at their writing with an editorial eye. Our video playback is designed to assist this process.

-(K.CC, K.OA) We hope you use our stamps to count, match, sort, size and add.

-Core Standards Glossary of Terms describes REBUS as a mode of expressing words and phrases by using pictures of objects whose names resemble those words.
