8th grade families,  I will show this to the students tomorrow, but if you want to save their video for future viewing, click on the download button when the student is logged into his or her account. Then select the MP4 option. This will be fun for the student to look back on someday!  Thanks, Miss R.

8th grade families,  We're working on our 5th-annual 8th grade class magazine.   All students are contributing to the magazine, which is bound like a magazine and looks like a professional publication. In the magazine, students share their "Where I'm From" poems, giving readers a glimpse of the people, places, events, and objects that have shaped the students' lives.

One of the most powerful tools for expression of memories are photographs. In class, we have been creating a narrative/descriptive poem and we will be working on an accompanying video.

All the students will be fine! We always find a way to make it work.  The week after Easter break on that Tuesday, we will be presenting our poems and videos in class.  Animoto accounts are private. The only way to access a video is if someone provides the link. My goal with these is
