PreK Claymation

The PreK have been thinking spring! For the last few weeks the students have been working on making claymation movies about flowers.  They made clay models of the parts of a flower.  They then laid them on paper one piece at a time in the order that they grow -

first, the seed

then, the roots

next, the stem

and finally, the flower.

They were very excited to use the camera to take pictures of each step.

Today, we uploaded the pictures to a stop animation computer program called Frames.  As groups they selected a background and added the background using ChromaKey.  Then the groups decided on the story of their flower and added additional clipart, their own picture and sound. 

Hope these movies brighten your spring break.
