大家好!
上個星期一是五月五日。朋友告訴我，五月五日是墨西哥獨立節日。還好我上網查查看, 實際上墨西哥獨立節日是九月十六日。其實我們也有一個五月五日的節日, 農曆的五月五日是端午節。嗯, 多麼有趣！
明天是我們學校學生一個又緊張又興奮的大日子! 低年級的學生有說話比賽, ”自我介紹”。高年級學生有 ”認字比賽”。大家加油!
明天早上九點準時見!
Hello everyone
I hope that everyone had a nice Cinco de Mayo holiday! I was told that it was the Mexican Independence Day. Good thing I looked it up and found out that it is not Mexico’s Independence Day, because that is on September 16th, but it is actually El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (English translation: The Day of the Battle of Puebla). I did not know that! But what I do know is that May 5th in the lunar calendar is indeed a Chinese Holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival. How interesting!
Ok, tomorrow is a big day for our students. The lower grade students will have their annual speech contest, “Self Introduction”, and the higher grade students will have their Word Recognition Contest! Good luck everyone!
