Today is the last Friday of the month. There will be no class for students this afternoon as teachers will be engaging in professional development.

Photography

Students at the Eel Ground School have been studying photography. They have been learning about rules of compositon, including, the rule-of-thirds, leading lines, and framing. Students from grade 3 to 6 have been finding images on the Internet that follow these rules of composition. Now that the weather is getting warmer, students will be able to take the digital cameras outside and practice the rules they have learned.
Once students have caputered images, they will be able to load them on their computers and then upload them to the web using Bubbleshare. Check out Ryan's online photo album of pictures he has taken:
