got my SLR back from the shop

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Oh, how I’ve missed it! Couldn’t wait to snap some pictures this morning. I didn’t have to look very far for a willing subject. : )

In other news, the school year is wrapping up. Porter and all of his classmates have each completed a little scrapbook to keep. Kindergartners learn so much, so fast. Besides the reading & writing skills, I have been amazed with their handwriting improvement.

So each month of the school year, I went in and took pictures of each child involved in some special activity that month. And each month I brought in some cardstock and other supplies and they created a two-page layout with their handwriting, their coloring, and their picture of that month. Here’s a look at a few of Porter’s layouts.

I had them sign their name on each layout, each month, so that they could see their own improvement in one little project. The best part was just being in the classroom with those kids on a regular basis, and seeing Porter interact with his friends.
