What has happened to our classroom blogsite? Has Mrs. Yu forgotten how to edit or poblish a post? How disappointing! No, I did not forget how, but simply could not find a good time to update our blogs. Ever since we started our school in August, time flies quickly and everyday is filled with more work or more things to do on my list. Finally, a break for me and I chose to come back to visit my family here in Taipei, Taiwan. No homework or test to grade (after spending ten hours to grade all 58 social studies tests, and 29 math quiz, I think I deserve a break!), no lessons to prepare, no emails to send reminders or reply, whew!! So what exactly do I do in Taipei for eight days? Well, first of all, I got plenty of relatives to visit. I also had a chance to see two great movies made by Taiwanese directors, and they are both enertaining as well as inspiring. Did I go shopping? You bet I did! I have a hard time thinking what I could buy for my famlies or students because almost everything is available in San Jose nowaday. I bought more origami papers, but they will be saved for next year when we work on Sadako. Tomorrow I am going to join the flag raising ceremony early in the morning to pay respect to the Independence Day of Taiwan. We refer to it as Double Ten Holiday, because it's on 10/10. I have not had a chance to be here during October since 1986, that's 22 years ago. How is your life during the break? Did you go to any special place or do anything interesting? If you are visiting someplace new to us, why not bring some postcards back to show us? I will bring some home with me too!!

Hello rm 24,
I am currently studying for a test while my sister is watching Pokemon because of the break.
I am visiting middle school for three years and I will not come back.( I don't think that counts as vacation though)
Good luck for the rest of the year and have a nice break room 24/19.
Hey, hey, hey! It is me! The one and only Ishan!!!!!! I'm having a FANTABULOUS break!!!!!! The only thing I did all day was play on the computer! Yep, 10 hours (in a row) of computer time all day! I have entered a world of computer gaming MADNESS!!!!! WOOO! Oh yeah, I also finished the awesome book "The Battle of the Labyrinth". I can't wait for the fifth book to come out!!! Well, I'd like to type more but I have more computer games play!

Hi Mrs. Yu!
It's me, Mihir. Right now I'm in Dallas. I visited lots of cousins and friends. I'm having lots of fun here. I will see you after the fall break.
My October break is fine.I went to PEP the first week and met Shivani there. The second week I am just having fun. Yesterday my mom gave me a haircut. Well, I don't know if you call it a haircut because she just trimmed the bottom. I like not having to get up at eight every day.
Hello citizens of the world! I take back what I said about having a really good break...well at least I take back what I said on Sunday, the worst day of my vacation! I woke up early in the morning to go to San Francisco to see the Blue Angels. The Blue Angles is a group of F-18 hornets that do awesome stunts. I was really disappointed because I really like airplanes and we missed it! We missed it all because of my mom, she was delaying us. Oh well...life isn't always fair. See you all at school on Monday!
