I have told myself a thousand times to sit down and blog but I couldn't. I didn't feel like I had much to share I guess. I will make an effort to not wait so long between blogs.
It's that time of year when testing is in in full swing and I haven't seen my GT students too much in the last month. Last week was their first week back after testing and we hit the ground running. The kids created original poetry and then made it digital using Animoto. I was a little scared at first, 2nd and 3rd graders (70+ of them over 4 days) using a program they were not familiar with, and neither was I. I am happy to say they did a great job and they actually taught me quite a bit as well. This week we will be watching the Animoto presentations. This is another perfect example of me being leery to try something new and then being so pleased with what my students accomplished. l will continue to dive right in, encourage them to do the same, and see what we come up with.
