Good Morning,

Yesterday we started a project in Animation-ish to animate the meaning of a word.
To easily open your project, go to Spotlight (upper right hand corner of your screen) and type in your first name. You should see your project from the search list.

I’ve put the word list back on the board if you need it.
We will try to share our work at the end of class.
