I made a quick video about how to make a “Beanie Baby Book”. A Beanie Baby Book is a small folded book made from a single sheet of paper without any gluing, taping, stapling, or sewing.

It’s called a Beanie Baby Book (Thanks Mrs. Boylan), because this is the perfect size book for a Beanie Baby to read.

We will use Beanie Baby books throughout the year as homework assignments for reading, math, science, social studies…well, pretty much everything I guess!

Please watch the video, give it a try, and then leave a comment letting me know how it worked for you.

I have also included a link showing you basically the same steps to make this folded 8-page book, but with drawing and text.

Share YOUR videos with our class!

Share YOUR videos with our class!

If you have videos of Room 18 activities (field trips, parties, musical play, assemblies, etc.), I would love to have you SHARE your videos with our class. The easiest thing to do is join our class Fliggo site and upload your videos. You also can burn me a copy of the DVD!

In particular if you have footage of our musical play from last week, I would be extremely grateful for a copy of it! I did not get a chance to do any filming!

If you have photos of our class, I would love the best ones! Please email the photos to me or send them in on CD or DVD.

Please contact me with questions!

Thanks,

Mr. C.

I am really excited about introducing our two newest features.  I am pleased to reveal to you two new video sites dedicated just to 37Stars.

picture-3The first video site is 37stars.fliggo.com .  This website is another spot where I will upload videos of our students, learning tutorials, and any teacher-made multimedia content.  

This will duplicate the 37stars.blip.tv and YouTube.com  channels I set up earlier.  I like these services, but I like even more the idea that we now have an entire video site dedicated just to our class.  Just like videos on YouTube, you can copy and embed these videos in other websites and blogs.  I have uploaded all the previous videos to this site.  Please check it out and let me know what you think!


picture-5I am even more excited about the possibilities of this next site: 37videos.fliggo.com .  

This video site is an online video sharing site just for the students and families of 37Stars. Here are a few of the cool possibilities I have imagined so far:

  • Students who create videos for class for projects, now can upload them to our site. 
  • Parents who take video of field trips can now upload those clips to share with everyone else on our class.
  • Students who take video of field trips can now upload those clips to share with everyone else on our class.
  • Students who make videos on their cell phones now may upload these videos to share.

Both of these sites are completed moderated and only people that I approve can upload or comment on videos.  These are great places for our students to learn more about internet safety and internet etiquette.

Do you have videos from a field trip?

Do you have videos from a class project?

Do you have videos that you made on your cell phone?

Have your parents sign you up for an account today and begin uploading your videos!
