Digital Activities for the summer

Students: Wherever your travels take you this summer carry a digital camera and practice photographing a landmark, building, or special place that you visit.  (No faces, please.  Backs of heads or profiles are okay.)  Be as creative as you wish when choosing/framing your subject.
Then send Mrs. Brunn your digital pictures via e-mail.  Don’t forget to include your name, grade you are entering next year, and the name of the place or object that you photographed.  Label your picture and attach it to the e-mail.  You can even write a short description of your picture in the e-mail message.  Your parents will be able to assist you with this activity.  Your photographs will be featured in a slideshow during the first few weeks of school.
