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.

How Was Your Trip?

Hi students of the morning class,  I've been thinking about you, and how you enjoyed your trip.

I noticed that Richard would like to find out about the trip too.  So, how  about  writing by

yourself, or as a group.  I'll be back to class on Monday, June 15, and will probably be a little jet-

lagged.  I've been having a great time in NYC, and saw two Broadway plays, and went to one art

museum.  It's has been raining and drizzling almost everyday, and there was a terrible thunder and lightning storm one night, and I had a difficult time going back to  sleep.  I've been eating a lot of good food, and luckily I've been walking a lot, so I didn't gain any weight.  That's all for now,

and I look forward to seeing all of you very soon.  Love,  Your teacher Linda

Have a Great Trip to the Museum!

Hi Everyone!

I'm enjoying my time in NY with my family.  My great nephew, 5 years old, is graduating from

preschool tomorrow, and there will be a small celebration.  I'll write to you again when I'm

in NYC (the big apple).  Wishing you a terrific trip to the Academy of Sciences, and don't forget

to get the pass to the planetarium immediately after arriving there.  I hope to see photos and stories when I get back.  

I miss you guys, and send you my love,  Linda

Day at the Museum

Classmates,

Howwarya?

I can't go with you on Wednesday. I'll be getting treatments at the hospital.

Yesterday I took the BART and the N-Judah streetcar to the museum and the trip went well.

One piece of advice:
As soon as you arrive at the Museum, ask where to get a pass for the Morrison Planetarium. The planetarium show is free but requires a pass. Get it first thing!

Have a great trip and post some photos and stories.

Richard

ps Look for my pal, the white alligator.
