Kevin 刚过了七岁生日，今天正式开博客。一方面是为了庆祝，另一方面也是完成一个长久以来的心愿，就是记录下两个儿子成长的点点滴滴，和大家交流一下教养孩子的体会。 Kevin 生日是星期天。上周五，3月2日，是美国儿童文学作家Dr. Seuss 的生日，正好是美国的National Reading Day， 我就和老师Mrs. M 商量，问能否到学校举办一个活动，借着这个由头，让班上的小朋友们都高兴一下。我的邮件原文如下。
HI, Mrs. M,
This is to confirm that we will come to your class on Friday, March 2nd around 10:10 a.m. We will take a snack bag for each student in your class and a birthday cake for everyone to share. I know that March 2nd is also national reading day. If you want to incorporate some reading activities into the event, we can take Dr. Seuss's Happy Birthday to You book and read along with the class. We can also ask the students, "if you could have a day of all days", what would you do?
Anyway, we will respect your teaching acitivities and time frame, please let us know about your thoughts and opinions.
Mrs. M. 马上回信，
Well, that just sounds like SO MUCH FUN! I would love to have you bring the birthday book. We can read it to the class after they eat and then they can do a write or draw response about what they would like on their special day. My other activities can be moved to the afternoon...except for the spelling test. We will have to finish all of the birthday stuff by around 11:10 so we can finish our work before lunch.
Thanks for making this so special for Kevin (and his class)!
星期五那天，我和孩子他爸还有他四岁的弟弟都去了。 用了一个小时的时间，发东西，吃蛋糕，然后我还给班上读了Dr. Seuss 的书。 整体效果还不错，小朋友们都挺高兴的。我看到的好朋友Jordan 还向他竖起大拇指。 当然很兴奋，觉得自己很special 。 我和他爸也很高兴，觉得比租场地，搞派对更有意义一些。晚上回家以后，还带回一张作业纸，见图片。我作为妈妈对Mrs. M很感激的。
