ScribblePress Stories in 2nd Grade

I visited Mrs. McCoy's 2nd grade classroom at Washington a couple of weeks ago, and did a quick lesson to show her students the basics of using ScribblePress Deluxe.  (For those of you who already have this app - check for an update!)

Mrs. McCoy has wonderful students, and they quickly understood how to use the app and created some wonderful stories!  To introduce the app, we let the students choose a topic and write a fun story, to play with the app and its features.
