Hi Parents and Students
It is great to see most of you back safe and sound, wonderful to see Izzy again with us and hopefully tomorrow we will have Willow back too.
Soccer Day
Thursday 9 October is the grade 5 soccer day. The main focus of the soccer is participation, fun and getting to meet other fifth graders from around Shanghai. It is being held right here at SAS Pudong so we hope to see some of you out here to support and cheer on our teams. The first game should start around 10 am.
Visiting Authors
Our two visiting authors this year are Ralph Fletcher and Sheree Fitch. Check out their web sites and get to know them before they come.

P.T.S.A. Fall BBQ
This Saturday October 11 is the Fall BBQ. We hope that you can all make it out here to enjoy the good food and even better company. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to enjoy this fun day with you as I have other school commitments that weekend.

I am angry
Rage is rushing through me. All the way from my head to the tip of my toes. I want to let it all out. Rip something up or kick something and break up all sorts of things. I feel my face go up into an angrey posision. My eyebrows start to point down and sink way into my face. My hands get into fist where all my fingers are smooshed up together. I just can’t take it any more I want to get rid of it. Let it all out. Throw it all away.
I am hungry
My stomach is sinking into my bones. I can’t see anything but bones among my shirt. My tummy starts to shake and make gurguling sounds. It sounds like someone is swishing mouthwash all around with in there mouth. I can’t take it anymore. I need food. That is all i can think about. Food, food and more it sounds sweet, sour and most of all filling. I need it. Give me some! Give me some!
