Ella's First Day of School! | Seattle Portrait Photographer for the Modern Family

Well, once again, better late than never.  I took these photos on Ella's first day of kindergarten - and have been meaning to share them with you.  I was a nervous wreck that day but she was soooo excited.  And I'm happy to report she still {2 months later} is excited to go to school every morning.

I got to volunteer in her classroom earlier this week.  If you haven't volunteered in your child's class I strongly encourage you to!  Besides being able to help her teacher Mrs. Koch, I helped the kids during their reading and writing workshops and got to 'observe'.  What fun!  And I have to say, kudos to all you teachers out there.  I don't know how you do it.  There are 22 kids in Ella's class and Mrs. Koch has them engaged in so many educational activities throughout the day - and she keeps them on task!  I don't know how she does it.
