Today, students finished their Study of the City research and presentation preparation. They will present their work next week in class. The 6th graders also spent time outside today practicing some of photography composition basics including: Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, Fill the Frame, Symmetry and Pattern, Natural Framing, Depth of Field, and Point of View. They are encouraged to apply these composition basics while on the May 9th Field Trip. Next week, they will put together a guide (or quiz) about photography composition using photos they took today.

MAY 9TH FIELD TRIP INFORMATION

The students should bring a bright pink permission slip home today, but if they lose it, here is a digital copy to be returned via email or next week in class.

Here is the current working schedule for the field trip. The students will present their research in the classroom on next week, so the main point of the trip is to see the places mentioned in the presentations first hand; practice independence, leadership, and etiquette while navigating the city; and celebrating a fantastic elementary GATE career! 

A single scoop of ice cream from Stella's and 2 slices of pizza and a drink from Pie Hole will be covered by Foundation Account funds. If a student would like to pack a lunch or purchase more, they will need to bring money with them.
