 * Birthday Timeline **

This is my favorite project of the year. Kids bring in a character for the story from home or use some of my collection. They take pictures of the character around school. Each week we venture to a new part of the building including lobby, caferteria, outside playground, bus platform, classroom, etc. to take pictures of the characters doing something. The kids love this project and really get creative. They form a story around their pictures and use powerpoint to tell the story. They learn how to add slides, pictures as backgrounds, images, slide layouts, slides colors, animations, transitions, fonts, speech bubbles, and so much more while strengthening their writing skills at the same time.
