David DonaldsonRecently I had a photographer shoot my classroom as part of a day in the life as a teacher. The slideshow accompanied an interesting article about the civic engagement of TFA teachers after their commitment.

My kids were quite excited to see their pictures! I hope you enjoy.
Matt Roth was the photographer. A great guy I might add.
