Literacy Week was a success! Congratulations to everyone in the 2nd grade class!

Next week is the last week before the Christmas break.  And we will

have a class party on Friday.  Students are welcome to bring in snacks

or drinks to share with their classmates.  We are also having a secret

gift exchange - each student has been given a name of another student

to buy and wrap a present for (please do not spend more than NT$200 on

the present).  Once the present is wrapped, the students can bring it

to the class to keep until Friday when we will open all the presents

together at the party.  Please note: that the school will end early on

Friday at 1:00 PM.
