In this installment of the best-selling, classroom classic Jitters series, it’s not the first day, but it is picture day, and Mrs. Hartwell wants her students looking their best. The class photo is scheduled for the end of the day–can everyone’s favorite teacher, Sarah Jane Hartwell, keep them looking neat and tidy? She has the jitters again! Mrs. Hartwell is determined to keep her students looking perfect for their school pictures. This means no chalk at recess, no experiments during science, and eating lunch in the classroom instead of the cafeteria. Bo-ring! By the end of the day, the students look their best, but their smiles are missing. Mrs. Hartwell lets them cut loose after their individual photos are taken, forgetting that the class photo is still to come! A funny and heartwarming addition to the beloved series that reminds readers that everyone gets the jitters!
