Good evening, I hope everyone had a great weekend. Thanks for coming to the parent teacher meeting, I was glad to meet you and discuss this school year with you. Again, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Sending me a message through Dojo is preferred, and I will respond to the messages as soon as possible during school hours. I will try to respond to messages in the evenings if I feel that the situation requires immediate action. Also, if you want to write a message or have a question but can only communicate in Chinese, please write it in the Communication book, and I will gladly have the staff translate it for me.

Happy Friday everybody!!
As of now, the typhoon has veered off a bit, so it looks like the parent teacher meeting will be on tomorrow (unless anything changes of course). Please bring any questions you have for me. I will also be giving you some information about myself, my teaching style, and some plans I have for the school year. I will be in my classroom to chat with all of you between 8:30am-9:15am. After 9:15am, you will be encouraged to visit the minor subject teachers (Music, Chinese, PE, Computer, Art). Finally, we will all gather in the auditorium to end the morning.
Today, we had another busy day completing many activities:
1) Math p. 8 - not necessary anymore as we did not cover the new material
2) Reading and Phonics Written Assignment - we read a story about a one room school today, their assignment is to imagine our school only had one room, and write about it. What problems would there be? They should be able to write at least 4 sentences.
NEW Spelling test for next week, Aug. 21 - depend, community, citizen, predict, observe, ruler, microscope, hundred, thousand, greater than
That's all for today. See you all tomorrow, or if you cannot attend, then have a great weekend!
I look forward to meeting all of you.

Thursday has come to an end. On Thursdays students only have me for 3 core subjects, and here's what we did today:
HOMEWORK - Spelling test tomorrow, please study!
- Journeys p. 7
Reminder that the parent teacher meeting on Saturday begins at 8:30am. It looks like the typhoon is moving away from Taiwan, but if the meeting is canceled because of the typhoon, you will be notified. Please bring any questions you have regarding the 2015-16 school year, and I'll be happy to answer them.
Also, PE day tomorrow. Students may wear their casual uniforms, and bring an extra PE shirt to change into after as it is rather hot outside.
Finally, electives begin tomorrow and they all appear to be great ones. Each student was informed which elective they have been placed into. It should be a fun way to end the week.
Enjoy your Thursday evening.
