THIS WEEK: Monday, April 27 - Sunday, May 3, 2015

NOTES: Our READ Challenge is well underway. For our first week we had a class total of 6754 verified minutes, with 96% of our class turning in home reading minutes that were verified by a parent. Way to go, Room 205! Remember that you need to have your last week's verified minutes at school for Monday, so we can record them.  Mom or Dad can email me or send a signed note with the total minutes read on it.  Let's try for 100% of students in our class reading this time. Our top reader was Belle with 878 minutes.

HERE ARE THE ONLINE ASSIGNMENTS FOR THIS WEEK: These are due Sunday, May 3.

REMEMBER: when you are logging in, the 'customer name' is my email - jporritt@accesscomm.ca, and your login does not have the 205 on the end.
