This month, 1st-grade classrooms turned into animation studios. Focusing on 3D design concepts, students selected books by visiting authors Laurel Snyder and Leslea Newman to adapt into stop-motion films. The project emphasized the complete design process: students began with storyboarding and character creation before moving to technical production using iPads, the Stickbot 2.0 app, and green screen effects. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to practice collaboration while exploring new technology.
