Spelling Words for week of July 13, 2009

Hi Everyone,   Hope you're enjoying the beautiful weather.  Today I went kayacking in Sausalito with my husband  and friends.  We had a kayack for two 

people and I sat in the back and helped to steer the boat.   It was fun being on the water.  I've been e-mailing about 6 students and I'd like to hear from you.  Please

e-mail me at Newbuc@aol.com and I will answer you.   Richard is feeling better after his last treatment.   

This week's words are in memory of Michael Jackson, a famous singer who died

a few weeks ago.  He was known as the "King of Pop".

Spelling Words for week of July 6, 2009

Hi everyone,  Hope you enjoyed your July 4th weekend.  I was in Sausalito and

was able to see some local fireworks there. On Sunday, I went on a long hike, and

now I'm feeling very tired and sore.  I want to recommend the movie "Up" and it

is appropriate for kids and adults.  It is in local theaters and it is animated, 

funny, and has adult emotional content.  Even if you don't understand all the

spoken language, you will get the message.  

I spoke to Richard today, and he had a good trip back East for his father's 

memorial service and to visit his 95 year old Aunt.  He is feeling better and going in for a treatment on Tuesday.  We all hope he continues to do well.

Fathers Day

Thank you for contributing to my wonderful Father's Day.

My kids cooked me breakfast.

A friend invited me to dinner.

Of course, I shared the cards you created with everyone!

Thanks again. (Even the slightly delinquent ones)

I wish you a summer of fun and learning, but I can only wish for you. You have to go out and have fun and practice English.

Love


ps Special thanks to Linda and her husband, John, who hand delivered the Father's Day cards to my home on Friday afternoon.

Happy Summer and Happy Father's Day!

Hi Richard, How are you? We missed you at our party, so we're sending you a picture
that Kai Yan took. There was a combination of different foods from different students. For ex., Pedro brought homemade guacamole and chips, Ayako brought home-
made sushi, Kai Yan brought home baked cake, Nhu brought homemade colorful sweet
rice, Mei Fang brought homemade Chinese cucumber salad. Everything tasted real good.
We made a communal table by putting many tables together and filling the entire room. Then we sat opposite each other and passed around the food. Yun Ping put
on music that Pedro put together for us. It was a fun and successful party for
everybody!
Hope to see you next semester. Enjoy your summer vacation and Father's Day too!
A few of us will try to blog you this summer. O.K? Bye, bye from your loving
24/7 students from room 101am.
P.S. Teacher Linda brought many nice tablecloths for our table, and all the paper products.
