What I did over the Chinese New Year Break. I will not give your child a grade this week.

I would like to welcome Victoria Lee and Yvette Coort and their families to our school and hope that they will soon feel part of our great class.

Sadly we say good-bye to Erin and her family. We wish the Chang family well and hope to remain in contact with them.

Next week their will be no school; classes will reopen on Monday, 7 February. If you are going away for the vacation, I wish you a safe journey; if you are staying in Taiwan, I wish you a great time with your children - before you know it they are all grown up! We look forward to seeing you again after the break.

新年快樂, (Xin Nian Kuai Le)

I look forward to seeing you in the new semester.
