Something Mysterious...

Friday morning, the last day of camp, we went on a photo scavenger hunt. It was challenging because we had to take pictures that would fulfill certain criteria. The hardest part was when our teachers told us we couldn't use selfies or pictures of each other! Here is what we were looking for:

something you might buy your mother/father for his/her birthday
shoes you would never wear
shoes you would love to have
something hot
something cold
something mysterious
someone who dresses how you think you will when you grow up
someone who looks like they are going to work
something red (but NOT the trolley)
something that could be at the zoo
something you might eat if you were really really hungry
something that should come in pairs
something that could be a prop in a fairy tale
something that could be a prop in your play
something scary
something you would send to the moon
something President Obama should see

Here are some of our pictures. Can you guess which picture goes with which category?

Open house on Friday, 8/29

Calling all parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins - tomorrow, Friday, 8/29 there will be an open house for our class, Your Story in Photos and Words, at 3:15 pm. We will share the work we did this week and there will be a final performance that the kids have worked very hard on. We hope to see you there!


No one told me we'd be doing math

Today we learned about the science of how people see. We talked about compositional elements of photographs, like symmetry, asymmetry, leading lines, rule of thirds, contrast, and negative space. 

 
Then we went on a walk to practice these techniques. 

 
Our teachers showed us how to use the grid lines on our camera screens to help us line things up. We also took pictures to use as backdrops for our performance on Friday. Here are some of our photos:
