Students in Mrs. Steele's Photo II class headed outside to take pictures of what was left of the snow this morning. They worked on their exposure and composition techniques. What a fun way to practice!
This snow was great timing for Mrs. Coan's class! They are studying related rates (how a change in one amount affects another changing amount), and today, after playing in the snow for a bit, they used a snowball with their class assignment!
Mrs. Coan said, "After some measurements and a few minutes of observation, we determined that as the radius was changing at -0.0625 inches per minute, the volume was decreasing at a rate of 1.227 cubic inches per minute. This “snowstorm” was serendipity."
El Dorado Schools will have a late start this morning, opening at 10:00 am. Buses will run 2 hours later than usual. Enjoy the snow and be safe!
Congratulations to sophomore DeAndra Burns for being named the News-Times Football Rookie of the Year!
