Fourth graders Dyneal and Tamoy created this animated explanation of the water cycle. Here’s what they had to say about working on this project:

Dyneal: “I like our project because me and my partner had fun doing it.  I like when we drew the pictures and then animated it.  Also I like when we pick the music for the animation and saw it in a movie.  The recording we did for the movie was good.  This was a really movie.  I had learn how to make animation from this project.”

and his partner, Tamoy: “I like the project because it is fun.  At first me and my partner didn’t know what we were doing then we started getting the hang of it.  I like this project very much.  This is a one of a kind experience.  I hope we do this again in fifth grade.  I like the part when me and my partner didn’t know what we were doing and we was just playing around and everything.”

Here’s an original animation explaining the planets (and former planets) in our solar system. Great job James and Shian!

And here’s what Shian has to say about working on this project:

“It was so fun working with our computer teacher making these animations. It was great to learn something new. I had fun working with my partner to make this animation. I hope when I become a computer teacher I can show each steps to students. I hope that I have Ms. Phillips as my computer teacher gain next year and somethings can be more challenging and even more fun.”

An original animation explaining the sleep cycle, created by Choylan and Jessica. Here’s what they had to say about working on their project:

Choylan: “When my partner and I did our movie we felt great.  We felt great becase we were going to be teaching our viewers why sleep was important.  So that way they can go home and tell their parent not to wake them up so early in the morning.  Like at 5:00 in the morning.  You need an ideal amount of sleep time.”

Jessica: “When we did the sleep cycle project we were happy because we got to do something to show people how the sleep cycle works.  It was fun because it was the first time we got to do an animation.  I loved doing the sleep cycle.
