Clay

I have had so much fun creating a claymation project. We came up with the birth of a flower and then we created it out of clay. We were pretty good with the clay. I took charge of the digital camera and took each picture at the same time moving the clay around and making the shapes. It was so fun. I can't wait to do this with my students. We could use so many different science ideas. I am really glad I learned how. Down loading needs to be taught to us all but it was only shown to kris. I will ask her later how to do that. I showed my website to my friends and they were really impressed. I working on my powerpoint right now and it's making me mad all the requirements. I'm all done and now I have to download it to my public folder then to dennis's folder and then to the digital drop box. Way too much. Okay, it wasn't that hard. It just seems overwhelming when I read all the stuff. Just get it done one step at a time. Thank you, Dennis.

I am done

Its been a long haul but I'm finally done!!! I really have learned so much. I was screaming and kicking the whole way. What a pain I am. I have had some, some fun!!I'm not very creative and that's why this has been so hard. I thought my website wouldn't be very good because I have a hard time coming up with neat ideas. I think this is really good. Thanks for the pushing. I really enjoyed the claymation. It was fun creating a story with clay and slowly creating a film showing our idea. It came out really well. I'm so impressed with myself. This class has really boosted my ego . I wish it could have been a longer, like 10 weeks, or once every term so I could keep on using everything I have learned. I will try to keep coming in and adding more stuff so that I won't forget. You have made me learn that even I can do it with a lot of practice and a lot of help. Thanks again. I know now that I will be able to teach my sixth graders how to do this. I won't feel dumb. I will know how to do it. I am very happy right now. I will miss the stress and aggrevation next term though.

Hello out there!

I am having such a hard time with this class. I feel really dumb and slow and I cry a lot out of frustration. Dennis is really helpful but he has so many students, so I find that after school he has much more time to help. I really do want to learn this . I'm not a quitter. I learned how to change photographs on photoelements, I learned how to link pages on my website that I just learned how to make. I really like the idea of having my own webpage. Now my family can see pictures of my girl and me. I can't wait to get a digital camera so that I can show more pictures. I know, I can take my film camera down and get it on a disk and then all the pictures I have taken in the last past 4 years since we have moved here I can send to my friends.I'm so excited. I just figured that out. People from California keep asking me for photos and only having the film camera I didn't have time to mail them some so now I can just change and send. Yippee.
