Today students reviewed their shot list and the rubric if they were ready to film. Then they filmed today! If the student hadn't filmed they made a mini video of their choosing in order to practice using the editing software. Students mostly edited and made clips today. Students should come to class next week with all filming done, ready to edit their project.
Here is the overarching schedule for the mini videography unit:
Oct 3: Develop success criteria
Oct 10: Pre-production
October 17: Production
October 24: Post-production
October 31: Showcase work!
Today's Newsletter was crafted by 6th grader Max D.
I don't have the capacity to have conferences with all 100 of my students' families, but if you have any questions for me about my observations from the first 7-8 GATE classes, feel free to shoot me an email or arrange a time to chat on the phone/video chat. You can also ask your student to show you around their Book Creator Portfolio entries from this year.
I know that it can be annoying to get even more emails, especially from a school your child only attends once a week. However, we need to keep you on the Lowell parent communication list because that is how we efficiently communicate to parents in the case of a school-wide emergency. Our admin assistant, Sam, is really good about only sending out a couple school-wide messages per month, so feel free to just delete those non-emergency emails as they arise.
Please consider attending Arbor Village's Trick or Treat event! This is where our senior pen pals live!
As we begin our school year and face new challenges, we are seeking new ways to enrich your child's education both in person and virtually. Our current wish list includes a set of classroom cameras (~$100 ea), Rubiks Cubes ($12), and a hand-held vacuum cleaner! I just put in a grant application to get 6 iPads (and accessories) for our classroom, so I will cross my fingers! Please click on the link below to donate to my Boise Foundation Account.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY DONATED!
IT WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE RIGHT AWAY!
(I'll start posting as soon as I have confirmed which students from each school are on the No Photo List. Thanks for your patience!)
