To go along with our new computer we have a new video monitor and speakers which we connect to our new computer to show video clips. We are still awaiting having our screen moved into place but for now we are showing the clips onto our bulletin board.
We gave this system an inaugural run on Friday afternoon by viewing part of the movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This treat is a follow-up to our having completed the oral reading of the book on Thursday. Students have enjoyed hearing the book being read – and improving their vocabulary – and are now doing a comparison of the book and the movie. We will finish up the movie in two more installments next week.
