I enjoyed watching the 2 ‘Commoncraft-like’ videos showing how seasons changed. It looks like you enjoyed creating the pieces for the video and I’m sure that you learned the content. I’m going to show your videos to my students. Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love this presentation style with the cut-outs. Simple and effective. These kids are great! Keep up the good work guys.

Great videos! Can I have one for WOWL???

I love your videos, they make learning about the seasons fun. Well done.

It was really fun doing the videos.

Great videos….may have to steal/borrow the “Common Craft idea.”

I really enjoyed doing this with a group. It was a great learning expierence to make this video. It was also cool to see the other students make their videos. If you want to see my video, go to http://kidblog.org/mrskolbertsclass/author/KatieG2/

These videos are fantastic. You have inspired me to try this with my classes. Keep up the good work.

Hello,

What I find most impressive about these videos is that they were done in one take. That’s pretty amazing considering everything the students were having to do as they were recording. I’m sure the students spent a lot of time carefully planning and practicing these videos before they actually recorded them.

I’ve never experimented with students creating Common Craft videos. But if I do, I will definitely use these as examples of how to do them well. Thanks for sharing!

What a great idea! Some text was easier to read that others. Sounds like you kids really know your stuff!!!

Thank you for posting these. I am impressed with your students’ knowledge and how clear and expressive they are. I know my students will both learn from your videos– and want to make their own.

We learnt about our solar system last year and made some similar videos.

These are so cool. I love the idea of having the paper sun and moon for the kids to move as they explain. Great work guys!

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful learning with us. I was so impressed that each of you seemed to really understand why we have seasons. I plan to share this with my students later today. My hope is that you will never lose your enthusiasm for science.

I really liked Katie, Sarah, and Jonathan’s video! All them were great though!

I really enjoyed watching all of your videos. They were very informative, and creative. I can tell you enjoyed putting your presentations together. Good work all! XOX

What fantastic explanations! I really enjoyed the simple and clear way you described this concept, which I find is hard to teach…and I’ve been teaching for 14 years.

I wish I could write like you as Margaret Laurence once said “When I say “work” I only mean writing. Everything else is just odd jobs.”
