Flexible Year – Making Movies

So we’ve got something this year called the “Flexible Year”. Seniors are here for part of the day, but not in classes. The kids that met the requirements were released last Thursday. We have kids who failed classes or missed too many days until June 12. We’re out on June 13.

We can’t change any grades but the current 6 sixes. We’ve already covered all the material. I’m bummed because my husband can’t take any vacation from June 15 until sometime in September, so he’s off on a vacation.

Solution: Declare it summer camp and have everyone do something fun.

I’m covering how to make a movie and giving them time to make their own. When they go home next week, they are taking home a movie burned on a DVD. All summer camp stuff.

I’m making movies of the course I put together and putting it on my Staff Development Moodle so that others can see it. Free to the people in my building, cheap for everyone else.

Making lemonade out of lemons.
