Yearbook/Reading Endorsement Meetings with Daly
I am coming around to meet with grade levels next week to give out information on Reading Endorsements and demonstrate the process on uploading pictures for the yearbook.
- By the end of the month, each teacher will need to upload 6-8 pictures of their class to the yearbook (TreeRing).
- Bring your computer or phone (whichever device you have the pictures on) to this meeting. The goal of this meeting will be to get logged in and upload at least 1 picture, if you have 6-8 pictures, you can upload them all at once.
- Kindergarten pictures should NOT be of book parade, pirate night or the feast, those events have their own page.
- First grade pictures should NOT be of pirate night, it has a separate page.
What makes a great yearbook photo?
- Different settings
- You can see the eyes and faces of the students (not them looking down at their desks working....that's no fun!)
- Three to four kids in the picture
- The light source is behind the photographer....don't take a picture with a window behind the children
