What happens when teachers collaborate?! 5H Stop Motion Animation Project!
Mrs. Harding and Ms. Talian worked together to develop a project that incorporates writing, art and technology! 5H students worked in their literature groups to write a fantasy story. They brought their story into art class and worked to create characters and a setting. Students will begin "filming" their stop motion animations in January. Stay tuned for the final product!
