Dear parents,

This semester ends on August 25th.The kids will bring home their books, yearbooks and their final evaluations home on Friday. We hope you and your family will enjoy your summer vacation. The new semester begins on Monday, August 3rd.

I hope that you will like the yearbooks I made for your children. If you wish to have their pictures for this semester, please bring in a USB device to school at any time during your convenience. I would be glad to load them up for you.


Lastly, I wish that you and your family have a wonderful 7 day summer vacation. We will see you after the break.

Thanks for attending our graduation show on Wednesday night. I hope that you all enjoyed our show. I think that the kangaroo class was the cutest, especially with their lion costumes.

This was an unconventional week. We had to do rehearsals for the graduation show and also keep the little ones happy. We did lots of fun activities such as playing with playdough, painting, story telling, and many more.

Jae was so excited to show us the purse on her skirt. She told us, "You can put money inside."

Mia is slowly working on her separation anxiety. She is also a fast learner; she picked up the stringed beads activity on her first try.

Casper complains that the other kids don't like to share the cars in the front yard. When it's time for him to share, he hugs the cars as well.

Tanya was happy to see her dad onstage, so she scremed out "daddy!" I thought that was so cute.

Dora is sometimes overfriendly when she meets new kids. She likes to hug or hold them up in the air.

August takes care of his baby sister so much. He holds her hand wherever he goes, and he even spoonfeeds her.

Henry likes to share food with his friends during snack time. He almost quit his blanket this week; he sometimes asks me to hold his blanket for him during play time or meal time.

Jason was so excited to sit by the new table that arrived on Wednesday. He even fought for his seat.

Christine was very calm and co-operative during the performance. The other kids were playing and running around.

Leetrue did such great job on the show. He told me backstage, " I saw my mommy and aunty!"

Ellie was a little afraid onstage while she was singing. I didn't see many facial expressions on her face.

Our graduation show is coming in 5 days. We are working extra hard on our songs. The children are looking forward to seeing you, especially the Kangaroo class.


For Phonics class, we worked on Z-z –zebra, zoo, zipper and zigzag. We also learned a new phonics rhyme.
*The busy bee zips from flower to flower,
*Sometimes in a zig-zag manner,
*why don’t you zip like a busy bee does,
*Making the “z” sound as you buzz?
*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Jae is the most enthusiastic student during dancing and singing rehearsals. She can’t wait to show her parents our dance.

Christine seemed a bit tired during the week. She often complains about her sore throat and the condition of the weather.

Leetrue whined that August kept touching him during rehearsal. He got so scared by a Transformer’s mask in the afternoon.

Tanya is hilarious while she is dancing. She doesn’t lift up her legs while she is moving. We all said she is a robot.

Ellie was a little lost during practice. She was so curious about the stage that we were using to practice on Wednesday.

Dora has been eating incredibly slowly these last few days, due to a sore throat. She seems to not have completely recovered from her flu.

August likes to perform in front of crowds. I am really hoping he won’t have stage fright like our last Christmas show.

Henry learned to tattle tell from the other kids. Now he complains, “Dora touched my water bottle.” Or “Jason touched me.”

Jason likes to sneak out to play with the Thomas train when he is supposed to wash his hands. Finally, he learned his lesson on Wednesday. He washed his hands without a reminder on Thursday,

Casper tried very hard to sing loudly (almost like a scream out of his lungs) when we were practicing. I once paused the music and told them that they were not singing. Casper replied “T. Angel, you said sing loudly earlier!” I replied, “I didn’t not ask you to scream, guys.”

Mia joined the Kangaroo class since Monday. She is very outgoing and friendly toward her peers. She is also very independent. She loves to sing and dance during morning circle. We are glad to have her onboard.

This week we started working more excessively for our graduation show. Teacher Joanna is helping us with the choreography. In two weeks, your children will perform. Hopefully we will be able to see all of you.

For Phonics class, we worked on Y-y-yoyo, yellow, yes, yarn, and yacht. We also learned a new phonics rhyme.

*The circus came to town and everyone was cheering

*The dogs were loudly yapping and little boys were yelling,

*Yippee, yippee, yippee-ai-oo!”

“I’m going to the circus, how about you?”

For art and crafts class, we made “Cracker Sandwiches” with tomatoes and pineapple. F

irst, the kids took a cracker. Then, they put a piece of tomato and a piece of pineappl

e. Lastly, they

put another cracke

r on top. They all enjoyed their sandwiches very much.

This is the first full week that Daniel joined the Kangaroo

class. He likes to sing and dance in the mornings, but he says that story time is boring. It was hard for him to sit still and stay focused. He eats much better during meals nowadays. He chews his food without holding it in his mouth. He also picked up a few English phrases already. Good job, Daniel.
