OXFORD - The handwritten script introducing the kindergarten weather spot was taped to the back of the file cabinet that serves as the anchor desk at WKBC, Kramer Elementary School's broadcast class.

        Anchors Casey Blackwill and Gaurab Adhikari were waiting for the signal from videographer Brandon Cooper to begin taping the introduction, the duo's fourth try that morning.

        “Casey, you were talking too softly,” director Sarah Julian, 8, gently admonished. “Gaurab, you were kicking. I bet you could hear it,” added third-grade teacher Judy Meicenheimer, just before the class quieted and taping resumed.

        The weekly news show for Kramer Elementary School is a schoolwide project that began three months ago as an idea by the Kramer Schools on the Move team. It saw the project as a way to integrate technology into the curriculum.

        Every month a different third grade class plans each week's 10-minute program, deciding which school events to cover, and serving as an chors, directors, videographers, instrumentalists and reporters. Taping is done on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for each Friday afternoon show.

        “It's really hard to think of new stuff,” said Sarah, 8.

        “We like being directors because we like to come up with things they (anchors) say live,” said Kyla, 9. “We also like being the boss. It's a fun job!”

        Kindergartners provide a weekly weather tip while second-graders give mini book reviews. First-grade students prepare skits on the month's schoolwide theme. Teachers edit the tape but third-graders will take over those chores in January when editing software is in stalled on iMac computers.

        Also included in the show are jokes, artist of the week, a reading of the next week's lunch menus, that week's Star Students from each class, and the winner of the previous week's trivia question.

        “We aligned the show with the (fourth grade) proficiency outcomes,” Ms. Meicenheimer said of the project that integrates lessons in language arts, math, science and citizenship. “Everybody does something.”

        The program is broadcast to the school's 510 pupils before school ends on Fridays on a closed-circuit system. It is repeated weekdays at 6:30 p.m. on Time Warner Cable Channel 17.
