**__Description:__** This Picture Story was created with the help of the students. We practiced taking pictures together, and then a select few students did the narration of the story. We put the picture story together to show a day in Kindergarten with some added fun! The picture story shows the normal routines we do, such as Morning Work, Rest Time and Packing Up, as well as some extra activities that we sometimes get to do in class! media type="custom" key="3798941"

**__Description:__**   This Picture Story was created for instructional purposes. Teaching Kindergarten, I wanted to create a picture story that was both fun, and educational. I chose to create it around Number Stories, which are a way to make math problems into stories. This picture story explains the beginning processes of addition. I used my digital camera to take various pictures of students, objects, and math pages to explore this topic.

  **Reflection: **    This project was a lot of fun to complete. The students had fun using the digital camera and taking pictures of each other. The students who were chosen to do the narration also had a blast, and did not mind staying in from recess to get their voices heard on the Picture Story. Having the students take pictures engaged them in whatever activity we were doing. I also enjoyed taking pictures and putting together a fun educational and interactive Picture Story. With the knowledge I have gained through this part of the program, I will be creating an “End of the Year” Photo Story with the pictures I have been taking all year. This project has given me encouragement to use a digital camera in my class room, and with my students more often.
