    Parents,
    Thank you for sharing your children and their wonderful smiles and personalities with me for Picture Day this year. We had rain, sun, humidity, cool air- and a ton of smiles.  To view the photos and make a selection for printing please click the link below:

    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 you have an immediate question, please contact me via call or text @ 740-296-9700
    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!

We loved seeing so many special friends on Thursday! This fun tradition brought generations together as students created sunflowers that captured unique memories. It was so great meeting all of your child’s special guests!

In phonics, we continued to master our skills with short vowels and build our stamina when we read silently. Please note every week new red words are added to your child’s folder. Some examples to help your child master these words include flashing the word, writing the word, (shaving cream, sand or air write).

It was all about practicing place value in math. Students quickly mastered teen numbers and surprised us with how far they could build numbers to 99.

Here are a few suggestions to ensure that your child has a great start to the day-

two healthy snacks ( hard boiled eggs, cheese sticks, yogurt , fruits or vegetables or a another source of protein). Please send ONLY water.

See you all back at 10:00am on Tuesday!
