= Catherine Luong What I Remember About Second Grade = = = =My favorite field trip was the Herbst Theater because I liked watching the puppets perform, especially "The Goose Who Laid The Golden Egg ." I like it because looking at the golden egg looked as good as real. When I watch greedy people, I always am sad. At the beginning, I saw people making puppets. It was fast as on television. There were two people and a dog, a fake dog. It was the best day ever!=

= What I Enjoyed Learning This Year = = = =I enjoyed learning how to sing songs like rhyming songs and holiday songs from Ms. Chan. Ms. Chan is my favorite teacher because singing is pretty and I like using my voice. I like mostly the songs that are scary. Practicing it is fun. I can sing opera like someone is singing opera. I can sing at the top of my voice. Singing Halloween songs and scary songs are my favorite because I like how it scares me like the "BOO !" I also practice those songs at home. I sing What's A Teacher To Do? loud and soft. Ms. Chan's songs are cool, scary, exciting, and happy.=

= What is My Best Memory of Second Grade? = = = =I play tetherball everyday. At the beginning of second grade, I play tetherball and I can't beat a first grader until now. I am practicing to play tetherball quickly. Dana, Ivy, Azzaya and Ilona play tetherball, too. They beat me all the time. Dana, Ivy, and Azzaya quit playing tetherball. Dana was the star of the game because she could beat big kids. So, Ilona and I are the only ones who play tetherball now.=

=** What am I Looking Forward to Next Year? **= = = =I'm looking forward to going camping with Mr. Illig. I think camping is cool because we get to learn about nature like animals, plants, and how to be a camper. All I know to be to be a camper is: to gather wood or sticks to make firewood, use a hammer to tack a nail on the tent, and to watch out for animals.=
