Good day Bo Ai:
Many many apologies from Columbus School. This year has been a difficult and busy one for us. Our principal Mr. Rocha resigned in November so we do not have a principal now. Mr Rocha helped with many of our projects inclunding our sister school program so a lot of things did not get done. We hope to have a new principal this week.
Also, our Chinese teachers left early so our students have not had Chinese lessons for 2 months.
But the good news is that everyone is back from Christmas break and we are ready to start again. My students are writing you letters and I will send them to you this week. They really liked your letters very much.
You are very nice students and we promise to be in touch with you more this year.
Good bye for now and look for our letters in the mail. We also have some pictures of our school we will post.

Boai School Carnival
Boai school carnival is held every year around mid-November. Students from the first to sixth grade are all looking forward to this day because they can play science and music games and eat different kinds of snacks. This year's carnival is on November 14. Below are pictures shot by our fifth graders Michelle Fan and Amy Ye.
Grilled squid, one of Taiwanese favorite snacks, tastes delicious and chewy. It is 35 NT dollars.
The owner is very busy because a long line are waiting to buy the tasty squids.
This is one of the music games, hosted by class 10 grade 5.

Message from Mr. Rapice
Hello everyone from Bo-Ai !!!
You have all been so nice in writing to us and sharing things about your school and country. Thank you very much for sharing your Moon Festival pictures with us. It helped me teach my students more about your culture. In fact, I never heard of the Moon Festival until Nicole told me about it. So you taught me too !!! It sounds like a great holiday !!!!
I have sent some pictures of my classes. Let me explain to you a little about what we do.
Columbus School has a total of almost 700 students from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade. I teach a special program for our more advanced stuedents. They are in grades 3-8 and I have very small classes. I teach poetry, advanced math, government, environmental science and of course Chinese. I teach with other professors and students from the University of Bridgeport, which is right down the street from us.
My students usually work on special projects. We put on plays, hold poetry recitals, enter math competitions, work on the student council (student government) and do environmental projects. My students are usually the school leaders and all are good students. They are with me one day a week. 3rd grade Monday, 4th grade Tuesday and so on. The other 4 days they are with their regular class.
We want to start communicating with you more, now that our school year is settling down. My students are writing letters to you and you should receive them shortly. Our next holiday is Halloween. I won't tell you about it now, but my students will explain shortly. Hint...we celebrate it on Oct 31st.
Please tell your principal and all the teachers and parents we met on the webcam we said hello. Everyone seemed so nice and we really enjoyed it. I hope we can do it again.
That is all for now and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
One more thing...you are very lucky because Nicole was the BEST teacher we ever had here at Columbus. We miss her and hope she can come back and teach with us again.
Best wishes:
Long En
