THIS WEEK: Monday, May 4 - Sunday, May 10, 2015

NOTES: 
Moms, don't forget that our Mother's Day Tea is this Friday (May 8) at 11:00 a.m. in the mini gym. Sure hope you can make it. We will be trying to livestream it for those of you who can't make it, but will have access to the Internet at that time. We will be starting as close to 11:00 as we can. The livestreaming link is: http://bambuser.com/channel/Wsh205

Our READ Challenge continues to go well. In week 2, we had a class total of 6131 verified minutes, with 89% 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.
