Studio 214 (our class as we are calling ourselves) created a movie during the first few weeks of school, using Windows Movie Maker, called "Our Three Words". Students were given the opportunity to think about what they love about our class and school, take those ideas, and express them in only three words. It was amazing to see what some of them came up with! This idea was inspired from ABC's Good Morning America and a teacher's blog from Scholastic that I follow. It also reminds me of a recent KY Bluegrass Book, "No Talking" by Andrew Clements.
Through the filming of this project, you will notice two clips with different fish for our classroom pet. I am sad to say that the day after we filmed the first clip, we lost Daisy and her friend. Thanks to some helpful parents, we quickly received a new class pet, Regis the Beta fish! Some students volunteered to do more than one project- I think they love the camera...
I hope you enjoy their creativity- it was a lot of fun!
