  2. Hi my name is Samuel Brown. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. This is my first year at Seven Rivers Christian School. This summer my family went to the beach and we just got back from Hikton Head Island where we went on a lot of bike rides. I play soccer, basket ball and the drums. My favorite part of school is making new friends. I'm ready for school to start!

    1. Hi Samuel! Welcome to Seven Rivers! I think you'll love being at our school! I've gone on a vacation at Hilton Head too. I'm from Toronto, Canada. One winter, I was so tired of the snow, a friend and I drove south for 15 hours and we ended up in Hilton Head. We stayed for 4 days and played lots of golf!

  3. Hello Mr.Goh. This is Elly Jeffes. I did a lot of fun things this summer. I went to Juniper Springs which had freezing cold water, then I went to Bonita Beach for a week. There were so many sea stars and sand dollars you would not be able to believe how many there were! We also rented a paddle board. I recently turned ten, and had a party with some friends at Paige's Root Beer. It was deli-sh

    I'm currently reading the "Harry Potter" books, "The Sisters Grimm", and the "Series of Unfortunate Events". The subjects I'm looking forward to this year are: reading, writing, and Bible. My favorite sports are volley-ball and soccer. I love sketching things from nature like butterflies and interesting leaves.

    That's all for now. See you Friday.

  6. Hi, Mr. Goh. This is Norman Zerbe II. I had a lot of fun this Summer. I am in a youth bowling league with Connor Brown; unfortunately we're not on the same team. I am also in Cub Scouts. I will be crossing over to Boy Scouts this coming March. We have a lot of fun going camping and are like one extended family. I enjoy helping others with my friends. I have two cats, named Carley and Katie, whose birthdays are the same as mine, August 17th. (I sure wish my teacher would give me my birthday off :) .... ) I can not wait to get back to school and see my friends. My three favorite subjects are Science, History, and Bible. This week I will be going to Clearwater Aquarium to see Winter and Hope as a reward for all my hard work in school last year. My favorite hobby is working on my train table.

  9. Hi Mr. Goh , this is Julia Gaffney.This summer me and my family went to Williamsburg Virginia where we saw my Aunt and her family. We went to Washington DC, my dad got lost on the way there. We went to Yorktown and James town. We went to Arlington National Cemetary ,while we were there we saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier The Changing of the Guard ,it was about 20 minutes, even though it was long it was the coolest thing ever. We went to the Lincon Memorial ,it was HUGE!!!!! We also went to the Smithsonian my dad couldn't find a parking spot ,but we found one eventually.The Smithsonian was interesting.
    Of course my dad made me play some soccer .It was fun to see all my friends from soccer .While all my friends had school, except for two who go to Pope John Paul or something like that I think they changed the name, I had all the energy in the world.

    While I had fun this summer I can't wait for school to start and see all my friends. See you tomorrow

    1. Hi Julia! I'm looking forward to teaching you this summer! Sounds like you had a great summer. We family and I went to DC last summer. The Lincoln Memorial was HUGE! Very very cool! My brother-in-law and sister-in-law used to live in DC (he was in the Air Force) and we were visiting them. The highlight of our trip was going to DC cupcake? Have you ever watched the show? There was a huge lineup outside but the cupcakes were definitely worth the wait! Can't wait to see you tomorrow.

    1. Hi Carys. We'll try to do an experiment in every unit. I think the unit I enjoyed the most last year was the electricity unit. We made magnets and a homemade lightbulb. We only had Science a couple time a week last year. Hopefully we'll do more experiments with more time.

  19. HELLO, Mr. Goh;

    My name is Brock Rooks. I am very excited to begin the fifth grade. This summer I had the opportunity to participate in the Warriors football practice adn workouts. There were many days that were tough, but I pushed through the hard times because I want to train hard to be as good, or better, as them when I am their age. My family spent alot of down time together in the pool.

    I have been homeschooled the last couple of years, so I am looking forward to being in a traditional classroom setting and making new friends. Over the last year I have made a lot of friends with the players on the football, baseball and basketball team.

    I was told you like sports. What are your favorite sports teams? Did you play when you were younger?

    I look forward to being in your classroom. See you Monday!

    1. Hi Brock! Welcome to SRCS! I hope you had a good first day of school! My wife was homeschooled all the way to 5th grade. She has quite the stories of being home! I love sports! I'm actually a PE teacher and taught PE for most of my teaching career. I'm the golf coach at SRCS but my favorite sports growing up were baseball and basketball. My favorite team are the Toronto Blue Jays. When I was growing up, the Jays used to be amazing. Welcome to my class and I'm looking forward to getting to know you and teaching you. See you tomorrow.

  26. Hi Mr. Goh,
    Olivia wasn't sure what to think about having a male teacher this year, but after Meet the Teacher night, she said, " it's kind of neat having a male teacher because he is ok with hugs." We pray daily for not just you but the staff and kids for all of SRCS! What an awesome experience to have our kids receiving both an excellent education with God as the center of everything!! We look forward to a wonderful year, even though Livy was home sick today with the stomach bug!
    Have a wonderful evening!

  34. Hi Mr. Goh I was wandering how to see the pictures that you posted for Asian food day. I didn't see them yet but I want to can you show me how tomorrow. I am so excited for the rest of the year to come and go on the field trips we are going to go on. I couldn't do it and it didn't let me. So I am hoping that tomorrow you can help me with the technical difficulties we are having at my house. I wanted to know that if we are going to go to the Rays and Jays game. I am so excited for all the fun things we are going to do in and out of class.

    See you tomorrow,
