10/4 Hi April,

What book will your reading groups be readiing. I need to preview the book the lower group will be reading so I can prepare ques. for skype. Should we get together next week instead of this Fri? Also, do you have a flip camera we can use? Donna =====

=
I will submit information by by 9pm. Sorry, I had to tutor this afternoon. I would like to research a little into the expectations for the plan we are to submit. Is what we have above enough info,? Should we decide on muic for the video? Look at [|http://Freekidsmusic.com/] What do you think? =====

=
I guess this cn wit until the video is completed.? I will work on this until 10 then I'm going to submit my HW. I can also work on this late tomorrow afternoon. It might be a good idea to submit a quote that is related to our theorie. Oh, we should list the learning objectives and, should we send a note home with kid so we can get authorization to include them in the video? =====

=
10/10- Donna, I updated everything and added the titles of the books. I also just remember that this Friday is a teacher workday. Let me know if you would like to come on another day or just wait until the next Friday. The freekidsmusic thing looks fine, but it may be easier to just use music that's already saved to my computer or in moviemaker when we make the movie. =====
