A Letter (from Frog to Toad!)

For our little online school based in Beijing, this is the 4th chapter video I've made, but I like this format the most so far! Creating and then staging the inserted photos around my neighborhood was a blast!! Also, this is one of my favorite chapters because Frog is Toad's friend through sadness and joy, as he fulfills Toad's life-long wish of getting a letter in the mail from a friend! Again, yes, this is created for young folks, but not exclusively, so I'm not labeling it as such. Enjoy and please feel free to use this to read along with your own kids at home or at school!

Doctor Tonia...someday!

What Tiffany wants to be when she grows up...

How fun is this? Another student rises to the challenge of making a video about what she wants to be when she grows up (with input from her irrepressible little brother)!

Dove Plays Piano too!!

Dove never disappoints--she didn't want to do the music video challenge, but I begged her! I've heard her playing piano during breaks and isn't this lovely?

Jecci Plays Piano

"Jecci" accepted the music video challenge and I couldn't be more proud of her!
