阅读指导：
该文是按时间顺序，列举了学校一学期的大事活动安排。
首先，浏览表格，确定阅读任务。由Dates和Ac-tivities两词可知，可知是找出活动及举行日期。
然后，带着任务快速阅读短文，画出关键信息。最后，按时间的先后顺序，将日期与活动一一列出。如：由句子“Next month, we have an art festival. It’s on November 3rd.”可知，在November 3rd这天，举行的活动是art festival。
Read the school notice again and list the activities and the date.

3. Have a good time! 在课文中一个表示祝福的句子，意为“祝你玩得高兴！”。
