It's great to hear from you! Thank you for telling me this good news. I am sure that Howard, Kevin and Peter will feel excited when they meet each other again. I bet the three old friends must have a lot to say! Since we have Catherine in the drama club as well, the show will get more and more exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
Thank you for your support of the studio of children's literature. 謝謝您對兒童文學苑工作室的支持與認同。
This is the confirmation letter of the enrollment of Polly and Melody. 這是 Polly和Melody的俱樂部確認信函。
It is a blessing for me to have Polly and Melody back again. 很榮幸能夠再次參與Polly和Melody的學習與成長。
I would love to see them before the class begins. Is it possible that I can meet Polly and Melody at 10:00am on March 6 so that we can talk more and discuss the detailed information?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I understand how you feel when it comes to educating children, which is a very delicate art in some way. I appreciate your effort on spending time enlightening Catherine and Elisabeth. Catherine is a lovely girl who knows exactly what she wants. Having Elisabeth as her sister, she needs to make sure that she has more attention from us so that she is able to show Elisabeth that she is the older sister and that she is the one in charge. It is a good timing for us to show Catherine how to be a model of her sister and think for others. There might be several situations that she can't quite accept at her age now and that is the time that we slow down our pace and explain to her. If we value her questions and doubts, she will learn to listen and show her consideration to others as well. we all know that less scolding and more caring bring us love. I believe that Catherine will learn to be more affectionate with her sister soon.
As for the winter camp, I will take good care of Catherine and make sure that she knows how to protect herself as well. I am sure that we will have a great time during the camp.
See you at 9:00am on 26th in the studio.
Love,
Camilla

Thank you for updating the information and thank our education department for making its final decision so that people have an easy way to follow its policy. ^ ^
謝謝您的資訊更新，也感謝教育部做了決定讓人民能有所從。
We will remain the same schedule in March (3/13 and 3/27) since we will have more children to join us in March and they all know our fixed schedule. Peter will join the drama club with Kevin on March 13. And we will have Isabel and Yvonne in the reading club A and the writing club with Kevin in the afternoon on March 13 & 27.
We will have Reading Club A and Writing Club in the morning and the afternoon this year. 今年的閱讀俱樂部A和寫作俱樂部有兩個時段，分別是上午和下午的時間。 According to Kevin's science class, he might join the ones in the afternoon along well with the drama Club. Kevin 由於科學課程的緣故，可以參加下午的閱讀俱樂部A和寫作俱樂部以及戲劇俱樂部。 Peter will join the drama club in the afternoon as well. 目前下午的戲劇俱樂部時段還有Peter會一同參與。 Joanna, Howard, Candy and Paula might still remain joining the clubs in the morning because of their swimming class and other activities. Joanna, Howard, Candy 和 Paula由於游泳和其他才藝課程的關係，應會維持早上的俱樂部時段。 I will post the schedule of the winter camp this coming week. 冬令營的行程表將會在下星期公佈。
If there is any other question, please feel free to contact me!
Love, Camilla

Love, Peace, Hope & Future!
Experiencing the real life is never easy. Santa Claus is a symbol of dreams and hopes to us all. And to tell someone, especilly our dearest children, that Santa never shows up is like saying dreams and hopes have not knocked on our door for even once. It is not that we are afraid of telling the truth to our children. It is that hurting chilren's feelings and denying the existence of dreams and hopes scare us. Therefore, we disguise ourselves as Santa Claus trying to spread dreams and hopes, make our children behave and bring us a better life. We have secretly turned ourselves into real Santa Claus.
To go through a difficult time like this with our lovely little ones is definitely worth our thinking and discussing. I am sure that Isabel would feel how depressed we are as well while we are trying to tell her more soothing stories and none of them seems to offer a satisfying answer to her. Eventually she will come up with an idea that she could accept and there she will be. A whole new her. A newborn faith from her own interpretation and inner thinking will help her stand tall through those difficult times. Then secretly, she has turned herself into Santa as well!
I am looking forward to seeing you all in the studio at 7:30pm on January 8.
Love,
Camilla

Dear Camilla,
I can tell Isabel was really sad yesterday whole day, even during the time in her Chinese school. so, her chinese teacher shared his own story with all the students. I was so touched when I heard his story from Isabel. The teacher said, when he was little he believed Santa was existed, till he was in 5th grade, his father was so sick, that year, he didn't get the gift from Santa, he thought he was not being good, so he tried his best to be good, sadly, his father past away, so he prayed for Santa to send his father back to be his 6th grade gift.. obviously, he had never got this gift. then he started to hate Christmas.. As he is a father of 2 kids now, he still enjoys being Santa and preparing gift for his kids..
I guess love always repeats...
Although Isabel was still sad after hearing his teacher's own story, she still wanted to confirm with me, "are you real Santa?" and asked me how about those past years... Actually it's kind of hard to tell her the truth, so, i just told her, "It exists and it is real as long as you believe." and Santa could be anyone who is nice to you, could be your parents, teachers or friends.... she said "I understand, but i can't control my tears, i just feel like crying...." what a sad and special christmas for her and me !!
Regarding the meeting, 7:30pm, January 8 is ok for us, so meet you in your studio !!
by the way,thanks for sharing your experience with me, I found we have a lots of good teachers (friends) around.. all of you made our life more beautiful and great !!
Thank you for sharing this lovely yet a bit sad episode with me. I can understand how downhearted Isabel felt after she found out the truth. Indeed, it had been unacceptable for me when I knew that actually Santa would not be able to visit me in person. I was 9 by then. It took me a couple of years to realize that the life is still beautiful although Santa only lives in my dream. Soon Isabel will know that Santa does come every Christmas because he always lives in our heart!
As for the meeting, will 7:30pm, January 8 be ok with everyone?
Love,
Camilla

Dear Camilla,
Isabel and Yvonne have swimming trainning on Saturday morning, so, they might be not available on that day, any possible to change to Friday evening or just remain on Saturday, is it ok that i visit you alone ?
Isabel was so excited and went to bed earlier last night, she was afraid that Santa might leave if she didn't fall in sleep when he visited her..she even decorated something in her room to welcome Santa. but this morning, she felt so sad and her tears was falling when i asked her what happened..she said, "i found out Santa is you" and she was really upset and quiet then..... seems it is so cruel to be growing up.... and face the reality.
