Ahhh...June

Whoa. There was a big crunch of getting pick up shots and editing during the days after Memorial Day! Because the plan was to watch all 6 group videos together on June 1, the last day of school. That worked out, with only a few technical difficulties. I brought lots of snacks to thank the kids for their hard work in front of and behind the camera. The did a lot of good things during this project, and hopefully learned a thing or two as well.

The entire 5th grade got together to watch them, which was fun. The only bummer was that more than a handful of students weren't there to share in the excitement, because Dekalb County's summer school started that same day, June 1. ICS was on a different schedule, so the ICS students who needed to attend summer school had to miss the last day of their normall school year (which includes many of the international students). I talked with the principal of the Stone Mountain campus, and hopefully I can go back and show the videos again at the beginning of the 2007-08 school year.
