Christa and Mary use flip cameras in class

Christa and Mary used flip cameras to the students' great joy in class this week.

Mary noticed that the kids were participating without complaint and were comfortable talking in small groups. They taped each other speaking about Hispanic heritage and famous Hispanics. The kids were practicing their formal presentations and were happy to be able to go back and correct themselves with the cameras.


Christa's group loved making speeches about their Spanish missions. They heard that their voices were too quiet the first time so they redid their speeches with louder voices. Watching the presentations was a great joy.


We know that their portfolios are going to be wondrous.


We are still working on our parent meeting date and time. We have the materials that we need thanks to Karen Justl.


Karen has spent a lot of time training us on google apps, blogging on Word Press and basic skills like that.


Laurie was super excited to get the netbooks in this week. They are awesome. [lp]
