I am regularly blown away by the work done in the classroom and even got goose bumps at the Pasadena end-of-year show this year: a showcase of the wonderful work the teachers and students put together for the parents.  I asked the teachers to give me copies of their videos and want to share a couple that come from the 1^st grade B in Pasadena… somehow… these videos represent, to my mind, what LILA has become.  Cutting edge, state of the art… see this year-end project where the students built a viedeo (with a lot of support from their teacher Samuel Mignery) where they shared their favorite moments in the year… the video incorporates interactive whiteboard technology, our oral language program and so much more… it is a marvel… a true gem… all produced with Windows Live Movie Maker… Microsoft could use it as a commercial…  

The second video, called ‘Flying Kids’… is a video/computer class project…. See how the kids created the illusion of flight… they were each responsible for their own flight and the teacher put them all together in a montage…

Enjoy...  you will not regret having taken the few minutes needed to see these two clips.
