Continent video remake

Continents and Oceans

I used picnik on all of the pictures in the video.  I tried to make some of them a bit more sharp, but really had no luck.  This was hard to get the video the way I really wanted it to turn out.  I'm hoping that I can work with it a bit more and get it the way I really want it.

Butterfly Life Cycle

Butterfly Life Cycle

I decided to do a video on the life cycle of a butterfly.  The students I work with really seem to enjoy learning about the many different life cycles of the animals.  I used picnik to all of the pictures.  The main thing that I did was change the size and crop the pictures.  I also sharpened the caterpillar pictures.

About Myself

My name is Angela Maybee.  I have a wonderful husband Brad and four fantastic children Tanner 15, Blake 13, Alexa 12, and Bryce 10.  With our family we are busy between sports, family activities, and school.  I teach 3rd Grade Special Education at Hayward Elementary in Nebraska City.  This is my second year teaching after graduating from Peru State College with a Bachelors in Special Education and Elementary Education.

I have begun using technology in my classroom since being in the school district.  I use the mimio pad daily, ipod when applicable, and I use the overhead mimio projector daily.  I have used a smart board but don't have access to one at the district I am in now.  At school I use a Mac, but at home I use a PC.  I currently use Microsoft Office 2007.  However, with my husband having multiple businesses we are always upgrading.

I've always wanted to continue my education.  I feel that by pursuing my masters at Peru State College I will be more apt to become a master teacher.  I hope to gain knowledge that will help me to be a great role model and leader for my students.  I plan to continue my education even after my masters.  I would like to take more classes on behaviors.     

Week 3 and almost done

This week was great.  I feel like I had gotten a ton done.  My website is pretty much done.  I am sure it could use some work yet but that will come.  Check it out at  Amazon Rainforest Website.  Let me know your thoughts.  
School this week was pretty hectic.  We had parent teacher conferences which seemed to go very well.
