Celebrate Texas Public Schools Video Contest
A small group of students in Mrs. Loft's class took on the challenge of creating and producing a video for the Celebrate Texas Public Schools Week video contest. They brainstormed all of the qualities they loved about their school and made a plan for how to capture those qualities on video. With lots of quality video footage, it was quite tricky to narrow it down to sixty seconds, but they got it done. Fingers crossed, we win! Great work to all of the kids highlighting why we are Proud to Be a Berkman Bee!

Vocabulary Rap
What's better than mixing music with rhyme? Fifth graders in Ms. Johnston's class are doing just that! They are creating vocabulary rap videos using new and important vocabulary words from each unit in math, science, and language arts. Their rap videos get televised to the rest of the school on the morning news broadcast. Kids are having a blast and increasing their vocabulary in the process!

The Eggs Have Arrived & They Have Their Own Channel
As part of the first grade science curriculum, students study life cycles. Students at Berkman are lucky enough to be able to observe the life cycle of a chicken right here at school! Twelve eggs arrived today and were placed in an incubator. Students will be able to check in on their eggs at any point using online streaming video technology. Using a webcam and a computer, we have set up a live viewing station. I wonder if they've hatched yet? Click here to peek in on the chicks!

Students are reading more in Mrs. Felix's second grade classroom and they are leveraging technology to capture the experience! Using the classroom document camera and headset microphone, students practice reading their short story or poem. Once complete, they listen back to determine if they like the quality, focusing on fluency, expression, and tone. If it's not up to par, they rinse and repeat. The other students in the classroom enjoy listening and reading along with their classmates' creations. Now find a cozy place and join us as we read, learn, and go places...

Fifth Grade Video & Music Producers
In their final session of Aspire, fifth grade students explored the world of video and music production. Students worked in small groups to retell or transform scenes from a short story they had read. Their project plan included storyboarding, script writing, role assignment and lastly shooting the video. Students also explored an online music creation program called Soundation Studio which was very easy to use yet complex enough that they felt like they were actually in a real recording studio! This was a great introduction into the world of multimedia!
