Students are learning the importance of visualizing while they listen to descriptive words that "pop", activating the five senses. Every Thursday first-graders visit the library. This week they chose one fiction or story book and one teaching book. Students learn about the part of our eyes that see color. Staring at different colored squares and then looking at a white piece of paper reveals which "cones" get tired and play tricks with our eyes! Buddy time was super fun! Students participated in a unique collaborative drawing activity. Eighth-graders described a picture to their buddy, (who could not see it!) and first-graders had to draw it. Then the tables turned and it was time so see how first-graders used words to describe a picture to eighth-graders.

Students participate in a visualization exercise. A poem is read to them while they identify descriptive words that "pop" during the visualization process. Later, they write down the descriptive words and draw a picture. Spontaneous Science! During recess, first-graders observe 8th-graders parachuting eggs from the roof of DGS. Will the eggs make it to the ground without breaking? During EFS, this demonstration shows students just how much fresh water is available on the Earth.
