Her MOJO to school

Hello all, I am back again to blog.  I apology for my long silence.

Mommy reckoned this is real funny and yet meaningful.  Mommy should share this in Shenny diary to other bloggers' mommies.  This could be treated as an encouragement to kids for lose their mojo to go to school.
Please give me your feedback whether this help your kid.

Mommy found Shenny write these two pages in her little note book which she kept in her school bag two days ago.  After checking with her, she told me the two pages which she divided into part 1 and part 2 were 'Let's go to school' song.

In fact, mommy did check with Shenny on how she found her new school after a week schooling.  Her immediate reaction was (mommy quoted her words) below:

Mommy: Shenny, do you like your new school?
Shenny: Yes, I like it.
Mommy: Why do you like it?
Shenny: I have so many things to learn in school.

Therefore, the song is the proof of her real feeling to school currently.
Mommy hopes Shenny could keep her enthusiasm to school for very long long long time.

Graduation and Last Day at School (Part 2)

Finally, Shenny brought back her graduation and class photo on her last day at school.  This also means Shenny had officially completed her 5 years school life in GCC. 

The day before farewell, Shenny used paintbrush tools to make a farewell card template, and then printed it out. There were total of seven teachers Shenny would like to give the card.  To make it special and unique for each teacher, Shenny wrote her personal message on each card. 

Below is the farewell card template:

She drew the card by herself except her face (which was helped by her papa).
In the card, Shenny wore GCC uniform and bid farewell.

Below was one of actual farewell cards, Shenny gave to her teacher.

Shenny wrote a personal message to her class teacher, Garren, who is the only one speak mandarin to her in school.

On her last day in school, mommy was told all kids cried to bid farewell to their teachers, that their crying sound could be heard at another floor.  Kids hug each other and their teachers before they left school.
Shenny told mommy that she felt so sad when her class teacher, Garren spoke to her.  Her heart was heavy and sour.

Below is Shenny's graduation portrait and her class members:
