Claymation Myth Project

Things are moving along well with our claymation my project! Below you'll see some photos Adany took of our work in progress. I also loaded a 5th grade class' animation of The Hare and the Tortoise. You can see that they don't animate every moment of the script, which is fine. They also use very simple sets, and are narrating the story, which is what we will be doing.

The link to the website Kids' Vid is also below the video, and it gives some good hints for writing a script, storyboard, and turning your animation into a video.

Happy animating!

Chorus Concert

Chorus has been working hard on a beautiful song with two parts in the genre Latin Jazz. Listen to how wonderful they sound, and notice how professional they sound! Both the teachers and the 4th Graders loved the performance!

Ratio and Scale Art Project!

This month we are studying Ancient Greece AND ratios and scale in math...so obviously an art project is the thing to do!
Here is the image of the god Zeus (modeled by Mr. Folkers at age 19) Our ratio is 1:6, so we should have a LARGE piece of artwork to display on our wall!
Check below for the completed project...

Excellent work on scale and ratios!
