Student Photography
/Today we used Proscopes to examine natural materials and bugs we collected with our beat sheets. Juliana brought in the model of a brain for us to explore as well. We continued to learn about the amygdala, hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex. Students began to learn how to take notes by drawing words or sketches to represent their ideas. Ask your child to explain the functions of the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. We also did a choral reading and created illustrations of the song “Make New Friends”. This song/poem will be the first one in our poetry notebooks. We will continue to learn new poems and add them to our poetry notebook as the year continues.
The last couple days we’ve been exploring the features of our digital cameras. Students quickly learned how to zoom in and out and view their photos. As they explored further students found various filters and effects on the camera. They were able to take inverse photos and shoot video. Below are some examples of our student photography.
