Wendy+Rogers

Class Reflection Wendy Rogers July 26, 2012 I will use my Movie Maker Project with parents and with the children. We are required to have family meetings with each child’s family. This short movie will be a great way to show what their child will experience during the day at school. It will answer many questions that usually arise during these family meetings. I will also show this movie during the first day of school for the children. We will discuss what they think will happen at school and then show the movie to help them know what to really expect. This will help the children that are anxious about the day to feel more confident. As the school year progresses, I will add pictures of my new students to the movie. My four year olds will not be able to use this program on their own, but we could create movies about shared experiences. For example, when we go to the fire station, we could make a movie about our field trip. The children would be able to look at all of the pictures that I have placed on the collections board. I would have them sequence the pictures in the correct order as I move the pictures to the bottom of the screen. They could also dictate the script for me to add to each screen. I think Movie Maker will be a great addition to my classroom.
