Moving right along! As expected, I have had a little difficulty sticking to the timeline, but I am not that far off course. I want to have one more video to compare the others to and see which is the better lesson.

We're very lucky to have our librarian offering up her time to help videotape. Having someone familiar filming them definitely puts the kids at ease. Not once has a student run up to the camera face first, and goofed off. If anything, the children are almost too well behaved. I have to remind them to speak up! I never thought I'd want them to be louder!

We're also lucky to have a very supportive principal. He's offered to help out in any way he can. Sometimes, just knowing there is help available somewhere is enough. I continue to meet with my friend and colleague, and that has made all the difference too.
