New Flip Video Cameras Now In Use

Recently, a set of 3 Flip video cameras were donated to our classroom. The kids put them into real use for the first time last month when they recorded "Readers Theater" skits following our reading of The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket.

Each group had to choose a scene from the book, write a script, rehearse it, and be ready to record on the assigned day. I thought they did a great job, especially with their memorization and acting skills. They really liked this book a lot and I'm glad we found time to complete this fun little project.

It wouldn't have been possible without help from Mrs. Hawthorne, who came in and served as the camera operator/director. Thank you, Mrs. Hawthorne!

Here they are...enjoy! (You might have to turn up the volume in the player and on your computer. I didn't realize that the cameras don't have that great of a microphone).
