Mrs. K's "Cozy Little Cabin" Class 2, "P" (part 2)

Two days ago, Mrs. K posted her first session on YouTube. There are 21 students in her preschool, but that first video was viewed more than 300+ times in the first few days. We welcome all of you.

This session continues with the letter "P," and includes activites: two poems, Story: "If You Give A Pig A Party" by Laura Numeroff (illustrated by Felicia Bond), counting to seven, making popcorn, more patterns, etc.



Note: Many years ago, I had a small video business that kept me busy in the summers. During the school year, I also taught journalism which included TV production. My students used to do "news" reports, etc. All of that changed when I moved from the classrooom to administration. It also changed because all of my cameras and editing equipment were "analogue," and digital technology has completely changed videography since the 1990's.

Making these simple, short programs with nothing but an IPhone smaller than an index card is something I would never have imagined 30 years ago. Mrs. K spends a few hours preparing each lesson; then it takes a couple hours to "shoot" the program; then it takes a couple more hours to "edit" in IMovie on my phone; then it take about an hour to upload to YouTube (this takes longer than usual because of the high volume of of educators relying on Google-owned services like YouTube at this time.) But, hey, what's time when your pretty much confined to a cozy little cabin?

The theme of the class is change. By looking at the change of a seed to a plant, a tad-pole to a frog, an egg to a chicken, and a caterpille...
