I returned to the classroom and shared the news for my classmates. To express our thanks to Mrs.Wu for her patient teaching, we agreed on a celebration after a heating discussion.
After school we began to make fully preparations. I went to a flower shop, where I bought a bunch of flowers, represents our love and respect for our dear teacher. One of my classmate had some PowerPiont slides made, which included many photos recording the touching moments we spent them together.
