__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Description __ <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">In this digital camera project three of my special education 6th grade girls are putting on a skit that demonstrates part of their journey in elementary school and shows their excitement of entering middle school. The girls were given an opportunity to take some of the photos and use narration to bring the skit to life.

__Reflection__ The girls and I really enjoyed creating this digital camera project. When we started taking the pictures, the girls assumed that I would be the only one utilizing the camera. When they realized they were also going to take pictures, they were very careful and excited to work with the camera. I enjoyed showing the camera features and terms and seeing them become extremely creative producing the “6th Grade Girls Going to Middle School.” They wanted to work on the project all day everyday!!!
