How is the act of skiing around my pond a metaphor for life?

My Philosophy Video Reflection
I enjoyed making the video once I got started doing it. I enjoy thinking about why it is that I teach.
I wrote a script, recorded it several times until I got one that didn't have a dog barking or dishes being put away. I had fun finding pictures and reviewing the kids working. I got a little teary eyed at one point thinking of how much teaching means to me.
The obstacles I encountered were getting permission slips from parents of the kids. I also struggled with trying to match up the words with the pictures. When I went to add transitions, the picture would not match anymore so it took lots of fiddling to make them match. I also didn't like how the music went abruptly into the voice over. I had to ask my husband for help on that section. I like this process and find myself thinking of more and more ways I can use this in school.
Last year I had the kids write and tell about their names and we made a movie. This year I am having the kids write about their family members. I think that would be a wonderful movie time. I think my school is planning on having a movie night where we share the movies we are making in our classrooms with popcorn!
Here is my movie-yes I used the blues for music and used blue in the movie-that was intentional.
