NOTES:
Moms, thank you so much for giving of your time and coming to our Mother's Day Tea last week. I know it meant a lot to your son/daughter. For those of you who couldn't make it, we hope you were able to view it live (http://bambuser.com/channel/Wsh205).
The livestream will remain active for a bit longer, but remember that you can also download a copy from the DropBox link I sent you on Friday. This download will be of a much better quality than the livestream, as it is the actual video we used at the tea.
READ Challenge update: In week 3, we had a class total of 6161 verified minutes, with 89% of our class turning in home reading minutes that were verified by a parent. Way to go, Room 205! I would love to see 100% next week. 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.

UPCOMING EVENTS: We are off to Government House on Thursday, but we still have a handful of students who do not have parent permission yet. If you have not done so already, please email me as soon as possible to give me permission for your son/daughter to attend this event with the class. There is no cost as a government grant is providing for the cost of the bus.
