Walking in the classroom when it's in full swing is a like a breath of fresh air. Classical music serenades the children as they each work on their own activity. Photographing these moments is an absolute art. We'd like to capture the child's focus, while at the same time, not disrupt the fragile rhythm of learning. It's also very difficult to decide which photos to include on this website! The children participate in so many different activities that we find ourselves swimming in an ocean of photographs, each telling its own tale of a special moment. Thankfully, this is just the beginning of the school year!
