documentation of classroom activity through a photo/video journal. Escuelita strives to offer parents a glimpse of their
child's daily experience on a regular basis by capturing activities through photography, however we need to further train
our teachers on the basics of digital photography and photo editing software as well as how to layout and print their journals
for families.
