Last Day of School

Dear Families,

This week was super busy! On Monday, we went to Almaden Lake Park by bus. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to ride the light rail this year. The students had lunch, played on the play structure, and ate popsicles that day. It was hot!

Then on Tuesday, we had the Talent Show. Catherine and Julia played the piano and some of the students performed the Cha Cha Slide! Even the teachers performed Grease at the end! If you missed the performances, you can go to the PHOTOS section of our classroom website: www.geocities.com/missyu_grace and I have added all the videos there. You can just click on the arrow to watch the performances!

On Wednesday, we prepared for our musical and had a dress rehearsal in front of Kindergarten and Third grade. In the afternoon, we worked on an art project and made a landscape picture.

Thursday was our musical performance! Although it was incredibly hot in the MP room, the students all did a great job singing and dancing A Musical Year! If anyone has a video of the performance, please let me know because I would like to make a copy of it. Thank you to Mrs. Hothan (Michael’s mother) who went to pick up popsicles for the children right after the musical because it was so hot!

Today was Breakfast and a Book! We had donuts and juice for breakfast, and then we went to different classrooms to read books.

It is always hard to say goodbye to all my students at the end of each year. I have seen your children grow and learn so much over the year and I am so proud of them for their hard work. I would appreciate it if you kept in touch with me from time to time to let me know how your children are doing. My address is: 20814 Beauchamps Court, Saratoga, CA 95070. Or you can always send me an email too at yu_grace@cupertino.k12.ca.us or my personal email is gracelingyu@yahoo.com !

My present to the students is a music CD to remember all of our first grade songs! Enjoy the music! In addition, I would like to especially thank Julia’s mom, Catherine’s mom, Yo’s mom, and Mayu’s mom for coming every Friday afternoon for an hour to prepare homework packets, centers folders, spelling, vocabulary, and Friday folders! I would also like to thank Moe’s mom and Hitoharu’s mom for coming every Wednesday afternoon to help in computer lab. Everyone else, thank you for all of your support this year! Many of you came on field trips, gave classroom donations, and provided supplies for our class. I have made a personalized notepad from our classroom for all of you to say thank you for a wonderful year! Miss Yu will miss you!!! =) Have a wonderful summer!
