後記：這篇是收藏在草稿的2個月前的文章了，情況已經有變，我們的歐遊計劃暫且擱置，而小Bie亦突然改變主意，想要去Paunahou 上暑期班，願意嚐試新事物、適應新環境是好事，爸媽絕對讚同。

而且，好讓爸媽多了解一下這所第一名校，實在對明年小天入學有一點點幫助。希望到時有機會讓小天選校吧！

美國這裡開始要報暑期班了，其實上一年老師都推薦小Bie take Musical Theater，媽媽也覺得她很合適，只是小Bie上年堅拒說自己怕講台詞，非常不願參加。事實上，很多高敏的成年人形容自己平日社交比較保守，而一上到演台上就成為了另一個人。

今年小Bie突然要求想參加Musical Theater，加上學校剛好開辦一班非常有趣、老師又有來頭的drama class：

New York Broadway Drama Gr 2-4
This fast-paced, activity-packed course is designed to introduce boys and girls to the fundamentals of musical theatre, including singing, dancing and acting. Taught by Katherine Jones, the students will participate in fun theatre games, and daily dance and vocal exercises. They will learn character development, stage presence, vocal projection, musicality, coordination, and teamwork. Students will be a part of the musical process, not just in their preparations for the final performance, but also by helping to design and paint sets, and create some costume and prop pieces. The summer course will culminate in an exciting full-length musical performance of The Aristocats Kids, where each student will have an opportunity to shine in a designated role. Join our pack of hounds and felines on a cat-napping adventure where "Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat!"
Jun 16 - Jul 18 12:30PM - 3:30PM $595.00 G827S1

好吧，正在計劃暑假去一趟法國和德國，就上午上一個有關法國的吃喝玩樂班，下午上一個話劇班，過一個有趣、有意義、又難忘的暑期吧！

學校申請結果（天4y）

沒有期望不過仍有一丁點兒失望！

Mid Pac的申請又再次落空了，3跟4歲的位大約只有16個而已。所以難度是絕對有的。

Mid Pac 是爸媽認為最適合小天的學校，下次努力吧～

作文：The Fairies、新詩、自由（澄6y7）

小BIE在短短一年多，作文進步神速，令爸媽驚喜不已！keep the good work！

充滿童真的一則可愛故事。文法進步很多，故事充滿童真，平日錯覺以為小Bie已經很大個女的時候，看到這篇可愛的故事內容，想一想，原來寶貝囡囡才六歲多而已！
六年似乎日子很短，在小娃兒來說，原來已經突破一個又一個的里程碑，多方面都有著很驚人的進步了！

The Fairies

Once upon a time, there lived two fairies who loved to fly. They were always happy. They were pretty and they loved flowers. And they were flower fairies. So, they always played in the sun in gardens.

One day, they saw a mouse. And said, “It was very cute! Here little mouse.” And the fairies gave the mouse some cheese. The mouse was happy. After the mouse was done with the cheese, the mouse run away. The fairies were happy. The mouse was happy, too.

Then, the fairies had their lunch. After their lunch, they played and played in the sun in their garden and they found a butterfly. And they found another one. The fairies loved butterflies.

Then, they saw a prince and said, “Hello!” Then, they saw a wolf. Then they ran very very very far when they didn’t see the wolf. They lived happily ever after!
