The Photographic Evidence and an Invitation

You will notice that Cathy has been in class snapping pictures again this week. She really does take some excellent shots many of which you can see on the website and this blog.

I love looking at the photos. For me it really shows how engaged the children are in the classes. Sometimes it's difficult to gauge the children's reactions when you are the teacher as you are so consumed by the job in hand. The photographs snap moments in time and allow reflection and give me great job satisfaction.

For parents who have not been present in a part of the class it will also give great insight. Sometimes I marvel at the chaos that ensues when parents and siblings return into the Young Child class. It's certainly a challenge for me to keep it all together. One parent who stayed to watch a session recently commented on how engaged the children were right up until the parents came in.

So for those of you who wish. I really would like to invite you to sit in and watch a session (though you will have to take it in turns). You may well be amazed at what your child is getting out of the session.

For the rest of you, have a look at Cathy's website and look at the evidence for yourselves.
