All in a Week's Time

During our time in the classroom, I try to get snapshots of interesting activities throughout the mornings.  Often, I am in the middle of a lesson or watching from afar when something incredible happens...and I just can't get to the camera.  I also feel, however, that I shouldn't rush to the camera!  In any case, here are some photos of happenings around the classroom this week which I was able capture.



Caring for plants.
