Thank you, Joey

Joey is a wonderful musician and a hard working student. I don't "endure" having him, I enjoy having him. And lucky for me, I had him last year in Pre-Calculus and again this year in AP Statistics. Also, I have watched many of his outstanding band performances. (From 12/20/2018)

Great show, thanks Mr. Frederick and student improv artists! (From 1/18/2019).

Thank you, Sachiko, for your gifts. It's very thoughtful of you. I particularly enjoy the tangerine that came from your tree. (From 12/20/2018)

Pancake Breakfast 2019

It's a privilege to help Mr. Bell and his ethics class on Saturday morning. Along with Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Batoon, we served local police officers and Mr. Bell's student volunteers before they help clean the trash at the Marshall Canyon Park areas. Special thanks also goes to Mrs. Bell for helping us set up and clean up. Great job students. (From 1/19/2019).

Thank you, Sumi

Sumi is one of the leaders on campus. She does a lot for ASB, which serves the Bonita High School community. This year, Sumi and Camille are two of the students that have me for both AP Calculus 1st period and AP Statistics 3rd period. Thank you, Sumi, for your gift. Also thank you for enduring me twice a day. (From 12/20/2018)

THE PAWSE -- SEASON 4 -- Episode 9

Bonita Dress Days - January 2019

THE PAWSE -- SEASON 4 -- Episode 8.5

Thank you, Tyron

Tyron was inspired by the student fan art made by Samuel of me as Thanos (see below). These two boys vow to create a meme of me with an inside joke each week for the remainder of the school year. We shall see. This is another depiction of me as a villain, are they trying to tell me something?

By the way, I have no idea where they get these photos of me. (From 1/14/2018).

From Samuel - Week One of Spring (Thanos)

From Tyron - Week Two of Spring (The Emperor)

Nikki's Star Spangled Banner

Nikki's beautiful performance of out National Anthem before the varsity boy's basketball game. Nikki is a wonderful student whom I had the pleasure of having in Geometry when she was a freshmen. This year, she is doing great in my AP Calculus class. (From 1/11/2019).

Bonita Varsity Girls Soccer 2019

Since our home field is under construction, our varsity soccer programs compete at the field of the University of La Verne just down the street. (From 1/9/2019).

Thank you, Alyssa

Earlier this year, Alyssa surprised me by putting her Field Hockey picture on my photo board without telling me. On the last day of class in the fall, she gave me a hair clip that she made just for me. Just the gift that I've always wanted. So thoughtful. =) Thank you, Alyssa. (From 12/21/2018)

Bird Box Calculus

Just for fun, I did a Bird Box Calculus problem on Wednesday. The video is played at x2 speed. During 3rd period, I also did a geometric random variable problem in AP Stats. (From 1/9/2019)

Disclaimer: I have very little idea what the movie is about aside from the main characters having blindfolds. Students were told this was just for us to have some fun within the classroom. Do not try this in any unsafe manner. If students try this blindfolding method on our next quiz, that would be a very weird strategy. -Mr. Yip

Fresh Start to Spring 2019

I hope everyone had a restful and warm winter break. Let's kick off the spring with a fresh start. Go Bearcats! (From 1/5/2018)

Thank you, Gia and Sophia

It's my pleasure having the twins again. This year, they are in the same period of AP Calculus. (From 12/21/2018).

Thank you, Samuel

This is one unique sticker! Thank you, Samuel, for this surprise gift. I'm a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. (From 1/8/2019).

Thank you, Kate

Kate helped me keep on the weight with her treats. She visited me after her college finals in Virginia. I'm happy that she is enjoying her freshmen year. Thank you for visiting me and bring me pie. (From 12/21/2018).

Kate also gave me a mystery toy. We opened it together and were happy to see R2-D2!
