Watching educational videos in the classroom is very important because it can really enhance the students' learning. Videos help students engage in the learning process. Watching a video about any topic can help students connect better to their life experiences. I enjoy showing videos to my students right before a lesson because it makes them want to learn more about the topic.

I use videos throughout the year in an effort to engage my students in the learning process. I chose this video of the water cycle because it is a topic that needs to be taught in second grade. I watched a few videos about the water cycle and this one seemed to be the right length and it had the information needed for the second graders.

This is a video about the life cicle of the Monarch butterfly. I chose it because it shows the complete cycle and it is real. I think the students will enjoy it because of all the details they will be able to see. They will also see what the butterfly does right after it takes flying.
