Happy Children's Day!

Dear class,


It's been close to a year now and you are setting out for the test of your life. On this special day that truly belongs to you, I just wish to say that you have been great. We had good times, bad times but what makes our memories worth keeping are these special moments. Thank you...for walking through this year with me. For all the joy (and tears) that you have brought, I do treasure every one of you.

Here's a poem I'll like to share with you. It says of the wish I have for every one of you.

Promise Yourself

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living person you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
presence of trouble.

Loving you,
Miss Elise Yu

Inspiring Speech

Dear class,

I thought this is very inspiring so I decided to share it with you.

Let us unleash our potential which we never knew existed inside us!

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

Do share what you think or feel in the comments. I will love to hear from you.

Love,

Miss Yu

Description of Characters

Hi class,

This is the result of your hard work, with minor 'beautification' from my part.
It is true that two brains are better than one, let alone four or five!
Use it as a reference to write your very own character for your chosen question.
I had fun reading your group descriptions, so I am eagerly anticipating your individual ones!

Cheers,
Miss Elise Yu
