期末試験

きまつしけん

The word(s) above represents what we’re not having this spring, final exams at the end of the semester.  You probably don’t wish you had to take them. 

I wish I could see you all as I write this.  We teachers have missed you students more than you probably realize.  I am sure you miss each other, too.  This has been, and still is, a unique experience for us, this 休憩時間（きゅうけいじかん）hiatus.

This summer, I wish for you and your families health and peace and happiness, in spite of the unusual situation we find ourselves in.

お体を大切にして下さい。Please make your health a priority.

お気を付けて下さい。Please take care.

As for me, I will look forward to seeing you again before too long.  That will be a happy day for me.

またお会いしましょう。Let us meet again.

For now, dear 学生さん、さよなら。

A. Finish as many assignments as you can.  I am sure it has been very hard to  focus on schoolwork at this time.  Congratulations to those who were able to do so!

B. 　If you think about Japanese during the summer, watch Japanese movies online and occasionally look at the kanji sheets to keep them fresh in your mind.
