Fun with Claymation May 7, 2008
Posted by Dottie Black in : Morehead Montessori, Schools, Technology , add a commentI have been working with Ms. Kelly’s 3rd graders on a claymation project. They are creating short animations about fractions. William and Hannah are one of the teams.
Hannah and William decided what their Movie would be about.
Then they drew a storyboard.
They created a set and chose the characters.
They worked together as a team to shoot each individual frame for the movie.Here is their final product.
Save the Lakewood Y did just that! May 5, 2008
Posted by Dottie Black in : Lakewood Elementary School, Projects, Uncategorized , add a commentBack in September, I met with one of my new teachers,Libby Montagne from Lakewood Elementary. She told me she was working with a group of her students to help save the Lakewood YMCA. The YMCA board was trying to sell the building and Durham would lose a fantastic community resource. I suggested that her students use a WIKI to document what they were doing.
Last week it was announced that the building will be shared by a new Durham Public Schools Montessori middle school and the YMCA. A win-win-win situation for the YMCA,Durham Public Schools and the Lakewood community.
Congratulations to Ms. Montagne and her students for helping be a part of the process.
