Snow on me (More We Can See connections!)

We have had some amazing snowfalls in February and March this year.  Each time new snow fell groups from Team Jelleybean took the opportunity to venture out to capture what "we can see" around our school.  

Initially we made this class video together.  CB's final 3 words at the end of the video captures the excitement and engagement of this experience!


RH had expressed interest in making her own video on the IMac when she saw her friend EA creating one using photos she had brought from the Santa Claus parade.  RH was excited to take on this challenge using the photos we took in the snow, choosing which ones suited her video and then writing the text to go with each video.  

RH accessed a number of different writing strategies to write the text, including using environmental print (i.e. Snow on me poem we had worked on during shared reading, our word wall, words in familiar text in her book box, as well as stretching words and recording the sounds she could hear).  

As her editor it was my job once all the writing was done to check for spelling, since this was to be a published work.  

Here is RH's video.  She would love feedback in the form of comments, questions, wonderings.  Enjoy!


EA is also now working on her second video, choosing from the multitude of photos captured on our snow adventures, so stay tuned!

  1. EA - I liked the end when it had the STOP sign for the end because it said "made by RH." (not Snow on the STOP sign as you might think).
