THE RAINBOW FISHBY

MARCUS PFISTERSlide show by

Daniel (researcher)CJ (animator)

Ryan (voiceover)

To make these stories in PowerPoint, we learned how to record, use the Paint Tools, Kid Pix, scanners and copy/paste from the Internet.

The Rainbow Fish was the most beautiful fish in the sea.

I’m too beautiful, he thought.

But he never played with the other fish.

Once, a little blue fish asked for one of his shining scales, but the

Rainbow Fish just laughed.

“Never!” he said. After that, the

other fish swam away from him.

The Rainbow Fish was all alone.

He went to the starfish for help.

“Why doesn’t anybody like me? He asked

“Go ask the octopus,” said the starfish. “She is very wise.”

The octopus said, “Give away your shining scales. You won’t

be as beautiful, but you will have friends.”

“I can’t do that!” cried the Rainbow Fish

Suddenly the little blue fish was back. “Please,” he said. “Could I have just one scale?” Well, the Rainbow Fish thought, maybe just one tiny little scale.

The little blue fish was so pleased, it make the Rainbow fish

feel happy

Soon all the fish came

The Rainbow Fish gave away his scales, one by one. Finally he had

only one shining scale left.

 But now… Rainbow Fish was no longer alone

He had friends. He swam off to play with his friends and he was the happiest

fish in the sea.

Little Cloud by Eric Carle

Slide show/drawings/voice by Julie and Lauren 6BE

Opening and closing music: Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell,

The clouds drifted slowly across the sky. Little Cloud trailed

behind.

The clouds pushed upward and away. Little Cloud pushed downward and

touched the tops of the houses and trees.

The clouds moved out of sight. Little

Cloud changed into a giant cloud.

Little Cloud changed into a sheep. Sheep

and clouds sometimes look

alike.

Little Cloud changed into an airplane. Little Cloud often saw airplanes flying

though the clouds.

Little Cloud changed into a shark. Little cloud once saw a shark through the

waves of the ocean.

Little Cloud changed into two trees. Little Cloud likes the way trees never moved and stayed in one

place.

Little Cloud changed into a rabbit. Little Cloud loved to watch rabbits

dash across the meadows.

Little Cloud

changed into a hat. Because…

Little Cloud

changed into a clown and

needed a hat.

The other clouds drifted back. They huddled close together. “Little Cloud,

Little Cloud, they called. “Come back.” Little Cloud

drifted toward the clouds.

Thenall the clouds changed into one big cloud and

rained!!!
