Jacob and Ben were filming the art room and took pictures of the projects. They also took pictures of the some of the projects in the show -
cases. Mr. Redmond wanted a key to the library because it was locked. The kids, which are the others that work with Mr.Redmond, went down and got the key to the library. The group got in and they are now going outside to film. I, Gabbie May, went with Maddy and Ceira. They are going all around the school then to the baseball field.

In the Podcasting Team,the students have been adding little details to preschool and second grade teacher interviews so people will like to listen to the podcasts they make for the new Fairbanks elementary students. The students were correcting the pauses and taking them out of the podcast.

Mrs.Hegenderfer is taking pictures of Charlie, Jowell and Kendra to put in their comic book . They are putting photos in it and speech
bubbles beside the photos and they are all about recess rules. The cover is Charlie as Recess Man with a big R on his chest.

The video group is getting their stuff, going over the rules for the cameras and splitting up to take videos of things and people. I went with Maddy Bailey and Ceira Madison to the window by the gym. Maddy and Ceira are going to take a video of the basketball team. Now they are going to take a video of Mr. Filman. They will be interviewing him with all types of HILARIOUS questions. My favorite question was what was your favorite animal? That was a very random question wasn't it? Now they are interviewing Mr. (social studies) Hammond with their technical things. I gave them an idea for a question. It was who was your favorite teacher when you were little? His answer was Mrs.Thompson. Next they went to Mr. ( math) Hammond. Thy asked him all the questions that they asked Mr. (social studies) Hammond.THat is what happened with the video group today 3-28-12. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Hayden Hoover wants us to know that Comic Life is the best group ever!!!!! The team is thinking about a title for their comic. Maybe it could be "Recess Man Rules." Mrs.Hegenderfer and two other girls are looking for a good picture for Recess Man. Charlie is Recess Man. Wow it must be hard work to be a super hero like that. Hayden, Gabe, and Issac are finishing up their Comic Life page. Mrs. Hegenderfer said that they are supposed to be finishing up today. The comic is about recess rules. That explains Recess Man's name. They want to print but can they get done in time to print their comics? WOW!!!!!!!!!! They want 10 copies of the comic. There must be a lot of people in that group. That is what happened in the Comic crew today March 14, 2012.

They are deciding which classrooms look best so the welcome video will be a success.
