My reservations center around the use of technology. Seems as if the teacher is doing most of the work here with documentation.
Can a kindergarten or first grade student make an iMovie? Absolutely one hundred percent yes. Do I think they should? No, we can do better. I think we're missing out some important scaffolding opportunities. I would vote for Shadow Puppets Edu, Popplet, or Book Creator.
For the record, count me on the list of masochists who read Hundred Languages of Children from beginning of end. Still waiting for my badge of completion. 🏆

Oh I could not move this more!
Wonderfully written
Beautifully illustrated with real photographs and samples
Voices from the field snippets are great
I’ve done foil sculptures for years- kids love them and they do springboard stories
Such a positive book
Love the wonder of the week piece!
