** I am a part of a 4th grade team with 5 classes. Each class takes a turn each week and we share our videos. This can sometimes be more time consuming for a Word Study unit, so it works for classes to share the video activity each week. All 4th grade classes look forward to see their friends in their Vocabulary movie each week.
