Hunter had a terrific teacher this year, Mrs. Brown! Amazingly, it was Mrs. Brown's first official class. She seemed like a veteran teacher with all of her fabulous ideas and calm control of the class. I was always amazed at how well-behaved her class was. I volunteered in the classroom once a week and went on a couple of field trips with them. I could see the treasure in her!
Because I felt so good about her as a teacher, I couldn't let the year pass without documenting her first year for her. I knew it would mean a lot to her, and so I compiled my favorite friend quotes and snapped some photos of the kids having fun and got to work.
I anxiously awaited Hunter coming home from school so that I could ask him what her reaction was. When he finally got home, he told me that she said "thank you." It was a little anti climactic. I should have known better, because a couple of weeks into the summer, Hunter and I received a very heart felt note from her saying how she cries each time she looks at it.
{The photos were probably taken at midnight as you can see by the lack of natural lighting!}
Mrs. Brown, it was a joy doing this for you! I hope you'll always treasure your first year as we will always treasure you!
...and this would be before {Backwards, I know} So, you take a photo of your child with his fist out. Then edit the picture with a message and print. Cut slits above and below the hand and slide the pen or pencil or sucker or pixie stick through the slits.
It really plays tricks with your mind. That's why I love it so much! We did Rose Pens for the teachers.
