1. Host: Lowrie

2. No lessons on December the 24th (Monday) and the 25th (Tuesday) as well as on December 31 (Monday) and on January 1, 2013 (Tuesday). But lessons on the 16th of December Sunday and a teachers' party on the 16th of December, too. This makes a total of 18 teaching days and 1 make-up day. 

3. Connection test September 2012: Relatively good connections for our teachers, but some teachers cannot do the share screen function and some teachers are on a wireless Internet connection. The best connection: Lowrie (Pennsylvania), Sarah (Canada), Katherine (France), David (Chicago)

4. We have a board for tips for teaching: New Teach Manual http://aloud.kr/xe/newteachermanual . Sometimes teachers visit the board to read the articles on the board. There are a lot of teaching tips and our teachers' lesson videos with comments. The board will be updated, please check it out. 

5. We will have a teachers party on the 31st this month: a Halloween Party. We will watch Megan's and Phoebe's Halloween Party.
