Best Wishes for the Newly-wed Couple

For all in 109, this March 27th must be a very special day because your homeroom teacher(姿瑩老師) got married with your chemistry teacher(勝吉老師). I know many of you might have
planned to give them your best wishes in person. However, for some reasons, you couldn't be there to witness their wedding. Thus, I brought one of their wedding photos back to share with you guys. Let us conratulate them and wish them happy ever after!!
PS. Although I didn't brought your teddy bear to your teachers' wedding, they happened to take a photo with other bears in this photo. I've heard that 姿瑩老師 is a big fan of teddy bears. So when we start the project, I believe she will be as excitied as us all.

A Trip with Lots of Fun and Friendship

Dear all in 109,

Soon (to be exact, on April 6), we are going to start a new project--"Teddy Bear Project." Just like "Holiday Card Exchange Project," which we've got sooooo much fun in last semester, this brand new project will also be extremely interesting because there are three more partner schools going to join us. They are friends from Taipei First Girls High School (北一女中), Kaohsiung Vocational Technical High School (高雄高工), and Kaohsiung Vocational Commercial High School (高雄高商). We will send our ambassador--a teddy bear representing your class--to these partner schools. Likewise, we will have to guest the ambassadors from other schools. When they arrive in Taitung, maybe you guys can guide them around Taitung, make them a part of your school life, or even take them home to learn to be a good host. But, most important of all, I want you all to help our guests keep track of their happy days in Taitung. I will divide you all into groups, and make you take turns writing down journals either on your ambassador's diary or on this blog. This is a project we are going to do for the whole semester. Therefore, I wish you all could have a great time, make lots of progress in using English, and, by the way, earn a lot of wonderful friendship when interacting with your classmates from other schools.
Now, let's get prepared and start the journey!!

Best,
Sam

PS. Many thanks to teachers who devote themselves to this project:葉中如老師(from北一女),塗凱貽老師(from雄工),and林劭芃老師(from雄商).
PS.Last semester, Ms.塗 has led her class to do the same project with a school in Malaysia. If you are interested in what they have done, you can go to the following websites and take a look.
