Dear Middle School Photography Major Unit Parents,

This is turning out to be a wonderful unit!  All of my stu= dents (and I) are really excited about learning how to use our beautiful new(ish  - purchased last year – than= k you P.A.G.E.!) cameras with manual capability, as well as an updated Adobe Photoshop 6.0 program for working with our computers and images.  As usual, we have more plans than = time, but are working along to soak in as much as we can!

We will be doing our longer= walking field trips – to the Art Museum in Phelps Grove Park and to the Downt= own area – especially Founder’s Park during the weeks of April 12th and 19th (in that order) – assuming the weather co-operate= s!

This week is our last Photo= graphy class session before then!  Ne= xt week is Day of Caring, then Spring Break; then two weeks for MAP and then we’re back!  Wow!  So please make sure that you and y= our student remember that they are to dress for a major walking experience with= all that that entails on our first day back at WINGS:  hats, water, sunscreen or umbrella= (we will go out if it is just sprinkling!) and great walking shoes.  We will be going in our regular cl= ass time (12:00 – 2:30), so they will not need to bring lunch, but if you want to send a little extra cash, we might be able to get a drink somewhere – or just have them pack a water bottle and snack on our Downtown excursion the week of the 19th.  

   &nbs= p;            I hope you all will be able to come to our exhibit on the last day of Major U= nit, the week of May 3rd, during the last 45 minutes of class – i.e. 1:45 - in Room 214 at Phelps.  We will be sending out invitations closer to that time.

   &nbs= p;            Please sign the permission slip below so that your student may participate in thes= e 2 walking field trips.   Th= ank you so much for your support!  If you would like to come along on the trip, please so indicate below, as well.  And, as always, please = feel free to call or e-mail me at any time!
