In first grade at Chamberlayne we made Fall Pixie movies today (SOL 1.7). The students designed a Fall landscape using the spray tool to spray on colorful leaves. Then they took their pictures and painted themselves wearing fall clothes. Finally they recorded their voices telling all about the fall… the weather, what animals do, what happens to plants, and how people dress. You can take a look at some sample student movies by clicking here, here, and here. You can download the template to use with your class by clicking here.

First grade students at Laburnum and Trevvett have been working on Animal Pixies. I gave them a template which you can download here. They typed their name at the top, identified the different animal coverings in the Word Art, took a picture of their face, drew their body with the paint tool, found a sticker of an animal, and recorded themselves telling about the animal. They had to tell whether it was wild or tame, where it lived, what its body covering was, and how it moved. You can see a student sample here.
