Just some strawberries, washed and ready to eat :)

I had to make a run to Costco, and I went the long way (which means I didn’t take the freeway, but side streets instead) because our Costco is SUCH a pain to get to and traffic can be insane. On the way there, I passed a long strip of land that holds many electrical towers, ending at the SCE eletrical plant. I thought I’d stop and snap a photo of them :)

I’ve always wanted to take a beginning of the year and end of the year photo of each of my students so they can see how much they changed over their year with me. Then the beginning of the year comes and I’m always overwhelmed with stuff to do and never get around to it. This year I managed to take an end of the year photo, and realized that it’s a lot of work, but I think it’ll be worth it for me to squeeze it in next fall. Also, by the end of the year, the kids’ personalities are so much more evident to their teachers, so looking at these photos, I really see who my kids are, especially since they’re so much more comfortable with me after spending time getting to know me, too. At the beginning of the year, they’re more shy, so I bet it’d also be fun to see how their personalities come through in the two comparison photos. Anyway, I put them all into a collage and wanted to share. I am going to try much harder to do both photos in the coming school year :)
