I Love My Mommy





Friday May 10, 2013

            We just finished our Community Helpers unit and yesterdays visit to the fire station was a perfect ending.  It was great to see many parents join us on this field trip as everyone had a lot of fun.

            Our last unit of the school year will be about insects.  We will be investigating different types of insects, body parts and life cycles.  At the end of the unit we will be visiting a silkworm farm in Miaoli.  More details will be sent home shortly.

            We have another student joining the Pre-K team, Rikuto Takahara.  He is originally from Japan but was previously in Korea.  Please welcome him into our Pre-K family.

            This Friday I will send out the rest of the word rings to the remaining students and I would like to thank Mr. Ying (Winston’s dad) for taking the video of the students singing their community helper song last week.
