I can now say that spring is finally here and the cold weather is behind us. We all had an excellent time at the Glass Museum and surrounding area yesterday. The students loved the museum, feeding the ducks and walking around the park. Since we had some extra time we decided to go back to the zoo and go see our favorite animals.

Next month we will be doing many more field trips and on April 11^{th (}first day back at school) I will be sending home a letter explaining when and where we are going. There will be at least one a week and sometimes even two. The letter will have more details but I am going to ask if any parent could drive us to the fire museum if they could come and let me know. I want to wish everyone a safe and happy Spring break and as I look out the classroom and see the sun shining I know it will be!

Reminders and Notices

1. Please bring back “Aa, Mm” books.

2. Anything other then the “Aa, Ss” books can be kept at home.

3. Please replace extra clothes when they come home.

4. School resumes April 11^th.

5. Making pottery April 13^th

6. Taichung science centre school field trip April 29^th.

Like always, if you have any questions or concern you can always write me an email or come by and speak to me in person.

Cheers

Originally from just outside Toronto, Canada, Mr Sharp received his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees from the maritime province of New Brunswick at the University of New Brunswick. College was his first taste of travelling away from home, then after graduation he took off right away to Taiwan. His reason for first coming here was that his undergraduate studies included Taiwan - after a few courses he knew that he had to see this beautiful country. He taught Kindergarten and Physical Education in Taipei for two years before heading back home to Canada. In Canada he taught Grades 7 and 8 for one year. He did enjoy his time teaching the older grades but he knew that his talent and heart was teaching the youngest students. After only one year in Canada Mr. Sharp left his homeland again, travelling to Bangalore, India, to teach Pre-Kindergarten. This year, Mr. Sharp will be continuing with what he feels he does best - teaching the Pre-K class.

Mr. Sharp firmly believes in the importance of learning in all areas in the Pre-K class and is never afraid to push his students to do things that they never thought they could accomplish. Through positive interactions and goal-oriented teaching all students can learn successfully. Don’t be surprised to see Mr. Sharp engaging with his students on the ground or interacting with them as if he is 4 years old! He loves relating to his students and learning with them. He feels that he is always learning when he is in the classroom.

Outside of the classroom, Mr. Sharp is an avid runner and swimmer. When in Canada he swam nationally and internationally. He is starting a swim team at HIS and is very excited about spending time coaching students in this activity.
