Welcome

We are very excited to start blogging and sharing flip movies with you in response to books and poems we read in our classroom.  This site will show-case student-created flip movies to help us better understand literature.

Do you ever feel that you don't know what to read and you are looking for a creative and engaging book recommendation? Well, you have come to the right place. We will post movie trailers retelling important events, characters and problems in books we read.  We will also share movies featuring characters and the authors of books we read.  Did you every wonder what a character did before appearing in one of your favorite books? Or, did you ever wonder what happened to a particular character after the book ended?  Well, here is your chance to watch just that.  The students in Mrs. McCormack's 1st and 2nd grade classroom will release never before seen sequels and "prequels" to some of your favorite stories.  They will also share never before seen footage, bloopers and behind-the-scenes-clips as they combine imagination with 21st century technology to bring you the latest in children's literature.

This site is interactive.  Please look for our on-line polls to vote for your favorite book, character or author.  Please use your google account to post comments on our movies.  Perhaps you will get inspired too....Thank you!
