Once in the gallery, you will be able to navigate to your child’s grade and individual folder. Once inside their folder, please select ONE favorite image by hovering over the image and selecting the star. This will mark this image as your favorite. Please refrain from selecting multiple favorite images as only one will be printed with your package. You have until Monday, October 7th at 12:00 pm to select your favorite image.  If you choose not to select an image, I will select the most natural pose for you.
Please note that these photos are only rough edited. Dirty faces and shirts will be fixed (within reason) once you select an image. Thanks!

If your child was absent for picture day, the make-up day will be Thursday, October 10th. Thank you for trusting me with your wonderful kids!

Happy Friday!

We packed as much learning as we could into just 4 ½ days in this, the first week of October. In math, we used inverse operations to show the relationship between addition and subtraction. Students worked numbers forwards and backwards as we experimented with fact families. Ask your kiddo to show you how they work with this combination: 9, 7, 16. The /ie/ vowel team was the main pattern we focused on in Phonics this week. Students participated in a variety of activities both on paper and electronically to practice wielding their skills! WV Studies was spent mining for information about the history of coal in WV. Zoology took flight as we learned more about birds; We talked about all of the characteristics that make birds different from other vertebrates. Well, gotta fly!

**Please contact us BOTH if you have any questions or concerns this school year:
