Dear Teachers:
-No School on 5/24/2015
There is no school this coming Sunday due to holiday. The school will resume on 5/31/2015. We only have three school days left – 5/31, 6/7 and 6/14.
-Training Summary
Thanks to the teachers and adult TAs who attended the trainings in April and May. We appreciate that a lot of teachers attended multiple trainings. We had great discussions in the training and learned a lot from each other. Since this is the first year we use this kind of training format, please send your feedback to us and let us know your thoughts and suggestions, so we can do better next year!
Here is the recording website that we mentioned in the training: http://vocaroo.com/
Some teachers use this site to ask students record their reading and then email to teachers. This is a really good way to have students practice their speaking at home.
Here are two Youtube series that Sheng Lanlan (盛兰兰) laoshi recommended for higher grade students to watch at home and practice their daily conversation. You can send to your class parents if you thinks it’s suitable to your curriculum.

If you have other useful learning tool, please let us know so we can share with all teachers. We believe that by learning from each other and working together as a team, we can all improve our teaching and provid quality learning environment to our families.
– Reimbursement
As the school year end is getting close, please submit all reimbursement before 6/14.
