A Journey Through the Alphabet!

Over the last month, we worked with our reading buddies to create an alphabet movie. Our Journeys buddies will be graduating soon and will start kindergarten next year. The movie was a great way to review the 26 letters of the alphabet. 

First, each pair of buddies was given a letter. Then each pair chose an animal that started with that letter. Masks were made and a script was written that included the letter sound. A fun fact about the animal accompanies each segment. 

We hope you enjoy our alphabet movie!

The movie was done using a green screen. The third grade buddies gathered Creative Commons images and added them to a Padlet. The CC information is available in the Padlet. Click here to see the Padlet.

We created this movie on the ipad using Do Ink, Padlet, iMovie, and the camera roll.

What what your favorite part of the project?

What are some additional facts you can share about your animal?
