Yesterday we only had 7 students in our class! Several of our classmates got to go to a special First Nations performance in Fort Rupert and so we decided to do something special too.

In the morning we did a round of Daily 5 and then we went to the computer lab to create ToonDoo comics and SketchFus for our blogs. ToonDoo and Sketchfu are both free and we love that your finished product can be embeded on your blog.

After recess we had a special visit from the intermediate class who came to share their social studies projects with us. Then we worked on DreamBox and Xtra Math until lunch. DreamBox is a lot of fun and Xtra Math is a great way to master basic math facts.

The best part of the day happened after lunch. We dedicated the whole afternoon to claymation. Some of the grade 3s had tried claymation in Tech Club last year and so they were able to help the others out. We found out that it takes a lot of time and patience to make even a very short claymation video. Here are three short videos that are ready to share:

Have you ever tried creating a stop motion animation?

We are really having too much fun experimenting with claymation. Today Sahara, Lily, and Karin shot this super stop motion video. They did a fantastic job of creating their characters, scenery, and story. Great job girls!
