For those who just want the “dailies” — what we shot today (integrated into the whole!) — scroll to the bottom for the Can Vikings Learn to be Kind video (as of this evening).
T-MINUS 4 DAYS!
Friday, March 5th is fast approaching!
And… the stress build-up has started!
STRESS EXAMPLES
The other day, I got home and looked for the two short video I’d shot of Ms. Sakiko for “Vikings.” I found… to lovely still shots. No video!
Well, today I was shooting Ray and Sadie. Got home to drop their pieces into “Vikings” and discovered… I had lovely ultra-slo-mo videos, nothing useful!
But I could pull out some a few stills of The Lady Sadie! Will have to reshoot tomorrow!
OF JOKE MASTERS & SPIES
Shot Maxwell (an undercover reporter) and Tanner (Giggle the Joke Master) today. Had great fun with impromptu costuming!
Tanner wasn’t so sure about the lei — discovered in our teacher’s office (a.k.a, “the closet”) — but ended up walking around with it long after his shoot.
And, yes, Maxwell’s spy device is an AC controller with a set of old smartphone ear bugs taped on the back!
COURAGE / KINDNESS DATA VIDEOS STARTED
We sent our Courage / Kindness questionnaire throughout HNS, and some students volunteered to videotape their answers. We started shooting our 2G volunteers today.
• Most courageous thing you’ve seen?
• Bravest thing you’ve ever done?
• Kindest thing you’ve ever seen?
• Kindest thing you’ve ever done?
DICTATION + WORK + MINDFULNESS + PLAY
Remarkably, we had our first 1/2 & 1/2 Daily Dictation, and Ms. Erin and I agreed this is a great way to give student even more personal phonics/writing attention.
2G rocks on with its 100% Independent Work. Ms. Erin begin going over Zoom Live lines with those students who have them and… she says readers are on the ball!
Zoology today:
Ibuki, our white-tern chick, survived the windy, rainy weekend. She’s growing!
After lunch, 2G were mindful about balancing a wooden egg on a spoon while dashing up and down the green… yes… without dropping it!
And we had some time for Imaginative Play at the end of the day.
CAN VIKINGS LEARN TO BE KIND? (03.01.21)
Tomorrow’s another day!
Onwards!
