"Up" the movie

Up is a very funny movie that is about an old man,

a boy scout, a dog, and a bird all with wishes

they need to make come true.

It is full of excitement and I think you will enjoy it very much.

Narrative Poem - Butterfly

“Narrative Poem “

Butterfly

Mary was a butterfly with green and black wings,

Then she was caught with a net and some strings,

And was put into a cage,

Mary was angry so she shook with rage,

And the cage flew open so Mary was free.

By Lynne Chen – 4^th grade

Free Verse Poem -Grass

"Free Verse Poem "

Grass

The grass grows at our feet,

It surrounds us when we’re out,

It turns its head towards the wind and when the wind stops blowing

It will stand there very still.

By Lynne Chen – 4^th grade

Limerick Poem -Fawn

"Limerick Poem"

Fawn

I once had a small fuzzy fawn,

Whose fur was the color blond?

She would stand there all day,

Wondering if you could come play,

The thing was she couldn’t respond!

By Lynne Chen – 4^th grade

Lyric Poem -- Too Busy

“Lyric Poem “

Too Busy

I think I’m very busy,

Because sometimes I get dizzy,

Sunday I invented a soda that was fizzy,

On Monday I’ve got piano and two hours of dance,

On Tuesday I have a project due about France,

On Wednesday gymnastic and swimming in the cold,

Thursday I’ve got theapothea and I turned bald,

Friday I got better and I returned to class,

On Saturday I wondered when I was playing bass,

If I could go on vacation and a very long rest!

By Lynne Chen ---4TH Grade

Piano

Piano

My piano is really big.

I have one at my house; you can play high or low notes,

Legato or stacuto notes.

Some notes are loud, some notes are soft.

My piano is black & white.

I love my piano.

Reason Selected:

Lynne is a good friend and hard worker. 

She consistently gives 100% effort and is thoughtful and considerate.

在母姐會時同學的家長總是讚賞Lynne 的聰明開朗,樂於助人及慈悲心腸,

有位家長更是伸出大拇指對我說: Lynne 是一位由內而外都美的小孩….

雖然知道美國人都是善於稱讚和鼓勵的民族,但還是挺開心的….

但老爸卻說:不可以自我滿足,自我陶碎…. 真是沒Feeling  

讓我們多以柔和謙卑的態度與人相處，學習智者的風範

The Fantastic Toyshop- Day2

所有的舞蹈表演,終於畫上了完美的句點,

Lynne在“ La Boutique Fantasque “ 扮演 Little Princess Dolls

美美的公主打扮永遠是這個年紀的最愛,

上台靠機會,下台靠智慧

一切都將再歸平靜

“ La Boutique Fantasque “ was originally performed by Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes 

in London in 1919.

Ottorino Respighi composed the music based on piano pieces by Rossini.

Once upon a time, there was a fantastic toy shop filled with wonderful toys and mysterious dolls owned by a kindly shop keeper.

One day, some mischievous Village Girls decide to see what is inside. They heard that at night, when the shop is closed, the shop keeper by pretending to be a doll. She stays in the shop after it is closed and opens the door to let the other girls sneak back in.

The Village Girls wind up each doll, who performs a dance and disappears into a box. As if by magic, many little dolls come out to dance for the Village Girls. When morning comes, the Shop Keeper arrives to find total Doll Pandemonium! The Village Girls frantically try to get the dolls back in boxes.

Finally, the Shop Keeper chases the girls out of the shop. She collapses with exhaustion, but the dolls have on e last surprise.

Spring Break

Happy Mother's Day

My Mother

You are pretty & extraordinary,

You wonder about my future,

You hear the pot sizzling with food,

You see me getting off the bus,

You want me to have a good education,

You are pretty & extraordinary.

You pretend to be in Taiwan,

You feel the love I give you,

You touch your children’s hearts,

You cry about sad news,

You are pretty & extraordinary.

You understand how I feel,

You say rules about manners,

You dream about your past,

You try to make me happy,

You hope to start a business,

You are pretty & extraordinary.

Your daughter Lynne Chen (4^th Grade)

Lynne的導師趕在母親節前舉辦了一場感人的Party,在場的每位母親都感動的痛哭流涕,聽著兒女們對母親的感恩話語,句句動人心弦,不禁令人讚嘆小小年紀的他們可以向母親面對面的抒發情感….媽媽我愛您,媽媽您是我的最愛…在美國長大的小孩總是可以把這麼窩心的話語一再重覆著…天籟之音百聽不厭….時值母親節,女兒寫了一封”我的母親”來抒發她對媽媽的心情,挺好的
