Parade of Presidents

The Second Grade Superstars have been busy working on their president research project. Each student researched a president and discovered what made their president so important to our country. The students then created a Movie Maker project using Crazy Talk. We sent a copy of our project to President Barack Obama. I hope he enjoys the show! All images were taken from http://www.whitehouse.gov/slideshows/presidents/. Music was taken from Soundzabound.

Australian Animal Research

The third grade students in Mrs. Youngs' class have been researching Australian Animals in the library. The students learned how to use on-line resources and print resources to find interesting animal information. After their research was done the students got to choose a picture of their animal from Google Images and then create a script using the program Crazy Talk. We then turned it into a movie using Movie maker. The movie was shown to their parents on Cupid Night. Check out the great movie!
