Welcome back everyone!  I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Mid-Autumn Holiday.  I know I loved my moon cake!  Get ready to return for week 5 of Chinese School.  The cold weather will definitely keep us awake!

Our Parent Teacher Conference will be on week 6, 10/20/2012, at 11am.  For those teachers who also teach the third hour, they will make other arrangements if needed.  Teachers, you might also want to have a sign in sheet this Saturday for parents to let you know if they will need to meet with you next Saturday and vice versa. If you need to meet with any particular parents, try to let them know this week. Parent-Teacher communication should occur throughout the school year, and this is just a recommended opportunity for those parents and teachers who would like to have a face to face chat!

On week 6, we are also having our Ivy Lab presentation in the school theatre.  More info to follow!  (Sorry, the last weekly indicated the incorrect date for this seminar).

We are working on preparations for the speech and writing contest and will announce the details shortly.

I just wanted to share a story with you  … a 1^st grade student was invited to a birthday party on 9/29 in the morning.  The mom reminded the daughter that she also has Chinese school at the same time.  The daughter thought about it (long and hard) and decided to decline the birthday invite because she did not want to miss the language class because it was fun (yes, she used the word FUN) and that she was going to learn how to make lantern and receive moon cake recipe in school!   She turned down a birthday party for Chinese School!  How cool is that!  With that I wish you a Happy Friday!

See you tomorrow!  Classes start at 9am sharp.  Please be on time.
