Thank you for being such lovely students, for having good manners, and for showing others respect.  Thank you for studying hard and for being energetic and enthusiastic, no matter what.  Every day was fun with you.  I will miss you a lot!

Thank you, Parents!!!

Dear Parents,

What a great year I had teaching the Grade 3 students!  It was an unforgettable year and the memories of the past year will always be treasured in my heart.  I will take them with me to Qatar. 

I would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in me as your child’s teacher.  Thank you for letting me be a part of your child’s education this past year.

Thank you for all your help, all the treats throughout the year and for your indispensable cooperation.  It was a pleasure working with you in educating the Grade 3’s.  I truly enjoyed helping your children learn and grow, and I will miss them a lot next year.

Have a great summer and a prosperous future.

Kind Regards,

A Great Memorable Year!

Dear Parents and Students,

I cannot believe the school year is starting to draw to a close.  There is only half a week left!  Third Graders, you have only half a week left in Grade 3!!!  Then it is summer vacation!!!  And then it is off to FOURTH GRADE!  Third Graders, I am very proud of you and I will miss you all dearly.  I had a GREAT, MEMORABLE year with you and I will be leaving Taiwan with a full heart and happy memories.

I have a few arrangements for next week:

Monday, June 17^th = Pizza and Movie Fun

I will provide everything for us to make our own pizzas for lunch.  Students, you may bring any age appropriate DVD of your choice.  We can vote on the most suitable DVD. 

We also have our last assembly for this school year at 2.00pm in the HIS Library.  Parents, you are very welcome to join us.

Tuesday, June 18^th = Water Fun and Buddy Fun

We will have some Water Fun in the morning.  Students, for Water Fun you need to bring your swim suit, sunglasses, sunscreen, a water gun or two (maybe you can share with a classmate who doesn’t have one), beach towel, and flip flops/sandals. 

Our Reading Buddies invited us for a last get together in the afternoon.  We formed a strong friendship throughout the year with these students.  We want to end the year with them on a high, fun note and want to join them for a party and movie in their class.  Students, please bring some yummy snacks to share with a few friends. 

Wednesday, June 19^th = Game Fun

Students, you may bring a game which you would like to play with your friends.  Again you can bring a yummy snack to share with your friends.  We will have fun together as a third grade class for the last time.  School will end after lunch.  Buses will leave school at 1.00pm.  Non-bus children should also be collected from school at this time. 

I am looking forward to making some last memories with the Grade 3’s!!!

Matilda

Dear Parents and Students,

It has been an unforgettable week, a week filled with excitement and anticipation.  It has been the week of our Elementary production, Matilda.  You could feel the excitement throughout the school.  Students and teachers have been working very hard on this musical and I believe it will be the talk of the town for a very long time!

I am not only very impressed by the third graders who are involved with Matilda, but I am also very impressed and grateful for the third graders who stayed at school, did their work well and handed in homework assignments in my absence, while I was busy with Matilda at the theater.  Third Graders, you are making me very proud!  It is absolutely fantastic to see how you have matured and grown in independence!

On Monday, June 17^th, will be our last assembly for this school year.  All parents are welcome, like always, to join us in the library, at 2.20pm for our assembly. 

On Wednesday, June 12^th, there will be no school.  It is Dragon Boat Festival.  Enjoy this public holiday with all your families and friends!  And go cheer for HIS’s dragon boat at Nanlio!
