Autumn is approaching as we can see the leaves are turning red. This week we read When Will Fall Arrive? by Sanne Miltenburg, a warm story about the friendship between a bunny and a hedgehog. Bunny is worried because his best friend hedgehog told him that hodgehogs have to hibernate when the first leaf turns red. To keep Hedgehog around, Bunny gets up early everyday to collect all the fallen leaves and paint red leaves green. One day Hedgehog realized the truth, so he explained why they must sleep through fall and winter. They compromised and decided that Hedgehog could hibernate in Bunny’s room so they would never have to be apart. Students shared their opinion on how to keep a healthy friendship, and we wished everyone a nice Mid-Autumn Festival.

秋天来临了,树叶也逐渐变红了。本周我们阅读了 Sanne Miltenburg 的《秋天什么时候来》,这是一个关于小兔子和刺猬之间友谊的温馨故事。小兔子很担心,因为它的好朋友刺猬告诉它,当第一片叶子变红的时候,刺猬就要冬眠了。为了留住刺猬,小兔子每天早早起床,收集所有的落叶,把红叶涂成绿色。有一天,刺猬得知了真相,于是他解释了为什么它们必须在秋天和冬天睡觉。然后它们相互妥协了,决定让刺猬在兔子的房间里冬眠,这样它们就永远不用分开了。同学们就如何保持健康的友谊分享了自己的看法,我们也祝愿大家过一个愉快的中秋节。
