    Miss B and class,
    What a fantastic show of the area you live in! You all looked like you were enjoying the walks and the idea of a quiz in the slideshow was great.

    Dear Miss B’s class.
    It looks like you had fun on to the woodlands. I thought the chimpmunks were so cute!

    From Josh in Miss vivian’s class :lol: :oops: :cool:

    Dear miss B’s Block
    I liked the chipmunks, did you know that there are no chipmunks in Australia and it’s my first time i’v seen a real chipmunk.

      Do you have anything like a chipmunk in Australia?

    Looks like you all had a great day. Maddy and I are looking forward to making apple crisp with the apples that she picked. Miss B, it’s incredible that you were able to put the video together so quickly – you’re amazing!

    •   Clinton on September 27, 2011 2:46 am

      Have you ever made fidget pie with apples? It’s really good. And my teacher’s name is even Ms. Applegate: check out our bog at Applegate29.

    Your trip looks awesome- it looks a bit like the boards which we have around us in Norfolk= can you tell us some more about the wetlands?

    Brilliant video; did you see any animals? Good questions on the video. They look very much like the boards which we have around us in Norfolk. I wonder if they are similar things? How far away are you from the sea? We are only a mile away from the coast here and then only a few miles from the boards too!

    Did you have a fantastic trip.
    You must have good teachers and children to take you to the trip very far away.
    The video I watched was the art one.
    It looked very good.

    Hi I like your video and how you put the questions in the video. What did you use to make the video?

  24.   Miss B on September 27, 2011 6:39 pm

    Hey Francesca and Daniela,

    Thanks for your comments! I think the tower Francesca is the bell tower of the Abbaye (makes me think of the movie The Sound of Music) and Daniela, we used Photo Peach to make the slideshow!

    Glad you both enjoyed :)

    Dear Miss B’s Block,
    We LOVED your video! The water snake was creepy and amazing! Our class answered all of the questions correctly. We used a strategy of choosing the middle answer for the percentage question. Our marshlands are similar to yours but we think we are closer to the ocean. We would like to know what grade you are in?
    Your New Friends,
    Ms Hanna’s Class

    PS Ms Hanna wants to know how you made the quiz questions pop up during the slide show?

    •   Miss B on October 5, 2011 3:10 am

      Hey Ms Hanna’s Class,

      We’re glad you enjoyed our video. We learned so much about wetlands and more importantly we learned that preserving our wetlands is extremely important to our communities and environment.

      We actually used Photo Peach. It’s free, however, we have a 30 $ or so Pro membership to be able to upload unlimited photos. If you are familiar with Photo Peach, but never knew you could add questions let us know. My students are always looking for a reason to make a “how to” video :)

      •   mshanna on October 6, 2011 1:16 am

        Dear Miss B
        I would so appreciate a “how to” video! Do I need pro membership to add questions? We are going out to do some field work next week & it would be awesome to make a slideshow quiz like yours.
        Thanks so much for your help
        Ms Hanna

  33.   Miss B on October 6, 2011 1:33 am

    Hey,

    Your wish is our command Ms Hanna…it will be our pleasure to make you a quick “how to” video.

    You are just in luck actually, tomorrow most of my students are going away for a cross-country meet. I think there will only be a handful of students staying back. We were going to surf blogs, leave comments and work on catch up work….but I know one of the students staying back will love to make a video!

    We’ll send you a message when it’s up!

    Cheers,

    Miss B

  34.   ryanj on November 11, 2011 3:52 pm

    looks like you guys had fun. I love how you added questions to the slideshow.

    •   Miss B on November 16, 2011 4:41 pm

      Hey,

      Thanks Ryan….it’s a great way to learn a little through our slideshow!
