teacher & student

The teacher gazes intently at the computer screen, reviewing her student's work or trouble-shooting a problem.

The boy is clearly enjoying himself. Maybe he is especially proud of the creative writing assignment he did on the computer. Maybe he is relishing the attention of his teacher and the photographer. Or maybe the camera caught him on a good day when his Hawaiian shirt was clean and fifth grade was fun.

Many elements came together in this photo to create a colorful, positive image of classroom life.
