How to Videos using iMovie

Kindergarten students at Templeton Elementary share their "How to" writing in an iMovie to demonstrate their understanding of brushing teeth. Alexander Family Dentistry donated a class set of toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss to one of our Kinder classes. Students wrote step by step how to brush their teeth. Then, one student in each assigned group filmed the team explaining the steps. Next, 5th grade buddies came to help turn the videos into iMovies with music and text. Students also wrote "Thank You" letters to Dr. Alexander and his office team for the donations.
