各位家長好!

Dear Parents,

隨著第一堂上課鈴聲的響起，孩子們開始了不斷帶給我們驚喜的課堂生活。一周所見所感甚多，但想摘幾點跟大家分享：

It has been great first week of school. I would like to share with you a few highlights:

1. 分層和走班。孩子們在拿到定制的課表后，隨之而來的不僅是激動、期待，更是隨時隨處的自我反思。他們總能滿懷憧憬地提前備好學習材料及問題進入相應(yīng)的科室與老師和同學交流，課堂上積極思考和參與老師的每一次提問和每一個課堂活動。鈴聲結(jié)束或意猶未盡地跟同學老師繼續(xù)探討課堂上的問題，或主動反思課堂成效進而考慮目前的層次真的是我的best fit 嗎? 同時各科老師也通過課堂教學及與同學們交談深入評估每位學生在分層教學及走班過程中的適應(yīng)度，排查在各科各層學有余力或?qū)W起來較吃力的學生，及時根據(jù)學生程度調(diào)整分層，我們會在整個學年進行這項工作，爭取讓學生在最適合他們的層次里找到最適宜的學習方法，以最合宜的腳步取得相應(yīng)的進步。

1. Differentiating and classified classes. Once the students received their customized timetable, not only was the excitement seen on their faces, but also the self-reflection was started in those young minds. They are coming prepared with their learning materials and problems in advance to their corresponding classroom to work with their teachers and classmates. In the classes, they thought and answered every question and participated in every classroom activity. After the class, they continue to reflect on what they have learn from the class and also consider whether the current level is really their best fit. At the same time, the teachers are evaluating the adaptability of each student in the process of teaching and interacting with the students. Getting to know about the students helps identify those students who actually can move up to another level. This process will continue throughout their studies. We will talk with students individually and adjust their classes if it is applicable.

2.GIA課程目標及測評。無論是對于新進入GIA課程體系的新同學還是修學新課程的老同學，開課前明確GIA及各學科老師針在學年內(nèi)對其學習目標，進度，測評等的要求都是課堂必不可少的環(huán)節(jié)。孩子們都能在老師的引導(dǎo)和同學的幫助下認真記錄各學科在本學年的重要時間，重要內(nèi)容及重要事件。在老師們的引導(dǎo)下去思考：S(specific)為完成學習目標我需要具體做什么?M(measurable)我如何評估具體做的每件事的質(zhì)量?A(attainable)我在付出努力后是否可以實現(xiàn)即設(shè)目標?R(relevant)我學科學習過程中的每個環(huán)節(jié)之接，學科與學科之間，學科與學業(yè)之間等都有怎樣的相關(guān)性?T(time-based)我具體完成每件事的期限有多少?開啟了各學科及學業(yè)的SMART目標管理模式。小小年紀的他們已然有了對未來的考量，充滿了責任感與使命感。

2. GIA course objectives and assessment. It is very important for both students who are newly enrolled to the GIA program and those who are returning from last year to understand their learning objectives, progress, and evaluation requirements before they start to take the course. With the guidance of the teachers, students are carefully taking notes of the important dates, important contents and important events of each subject in the coming school year. Meanwhile, with their teachers’ help, they are pondering the following questions: S (specific) What do I need to do in order to complete the my learning goals? M(measurable)- How do I evaluate the quality of the work that I have done? A (attainable)- Are my goals attainable? R (relevant) -What is the relevance between each subject and each step of my learning process? T (time-based)-What is the deadline for each project? The SMART target management model for various disciplines and academics has been implemented. It is incredible for them to be responsible for their own future from such a young age.

3.課堂文化建設(shè)。每一個孩子都會在老師的帶領(lǐng)下和同課室的同學一起開誠布公地思考討論，學好這個學科我需要怎樣的課堂環(huán)境?我需要遵守怎樣的準則?有哪些行為或事情是絕不能在課堂或自習課上發(fā)生的?而后我們還看到了課堂上孩子們總能大膽地談自己的想法、總能互助地學習、晚自習的靜謐中也總我們能聽到孩子們奮筆疾書的聲音，看到他們心無旁騖專注的眼神，也能感受到他們收獲知識的喜悅與滿足。

3. Building Classroom Culture. Every child is openly and thoughtfully discussing with their classmates under the guidance of the teacher. Those thought-provoking discussion questions include: what is the ideal learning environment? What rule do I need to follow? What behaviour is not allowed in class or study hall? Apart from their passion for discussion, their eagerness to share in class, engagement in cooperative learning and hard work in study hall are not hard to find on campus.

認真思考積極進取的孩子總是最動人最可愛的。感謝孩子們帶給我們身為教育工作者的滿足和感動!也感謝家長朋友們對我們的信任與支持，把這群可愛的孩子帶到我們身邊!我們將同舟共濟，一起努力，讓孩子們成為更好的自己!

They are the most adorable children in this world since they are creative thinkers, active learners and aspiring doers. My sincerest thanks goes to every child, who has brought tremendous joy to us. Also, thank you for choosing us to accompany and guide your children as they grow. With the joint efforts between you and us, every child will definitely become better self.

我們各科組的老師也會就各學科組的特殊情況再與大家分享點滴，敬請家長朋友們了解、查看。

祝：身體健康

工作順利

幸福美滿

Best regards.

附：各學科教師分享

1. 微積分課上，孩子們課堂氣氛十分活躍。在滑鐵盧Pascal競賽測驗中的表現(xiàn)的優(yōu)異程度更令老師欣喜，翻看孩子們筆記時我們萌生出了傳授他們康奈爾筆記法的想法。

2. Pre-calculus同學展現(xiàn)出了高于美國學生平均水平的數(shù)學能力，但我想我們在這種課堂上更多的是充當英語老師的角色，孩子們需要適應(yīng)聽英文的數(shù)學課和用英文解答問題哦。

3. 下周將會舉行AP班的分班診斷測試，相信孩子們周末在家一定認真準備，并帶上計算器到學校信心滿滿地到學校接受測試。

1. 學習方法部分科學組給出了開學建議以及要求， 建議每位同學準備一個學術(shù)詞匯本，在生物、化學、物理、綜合科學的學習中，每天都會產(chǎn)生分類的各科專業(yè)詞匯，該習慣在孩子們的的學習生涯中扮演者重要角色。

2. 記錄筆記，很多新同學從初中轉(zhuǎn)上來后，還不了解高中的學習方式，高中的國際科目課程繁多，授課時間緊湊，所以每科的知識都需要在課后有消化以及吸收的需求，若課后無法復(fù)原課堂上的重要知識點，每天的遺漏在長期學業(yè)生涯中會造成嚴重的漏洞。

1.Learning skill: highly suggest that every student copies the new academic words into a notebook.

2.Notes taking: the learning style in GIA high school is very different from the primary high school, and it is more multidisciplinary and intensive scheduled. Students need to review the key points during the night self-study, if they want to achieve a good result in the final examination.

對于中文這門學科，在第一節(jié)課與同學們進行了深刻地交流。同學們認識到作為中國人學好中文和中國傳統(tǒng)文化常識的重要性及必要性，特別是對于國際學校的學生而言，同學們真正意識到了他們走出國門的使命感和責任感，不愿做一名“香蕉人”。所以，他們投入了空前的熱情和動力，比較讓人感動。綜合這周學習情況，同學們的中文水平參差不齊，整體不太樂觀。所以，路漫漫其修遠兮，我們將一起努力，夯實中文基礎(chǔ)，提高文學素養(yǎng)，了解中國傳統(tǒng)文化常識。希望同學們能繼續(xù)保持對中文的熱情，增加閱讀量，認真完成每周的讀書筆記，認真投入課堂，學會小組合作探究，在交流中進步、成長。

第一節(jié)課同學們精神狀態(tài)都很飽滿、朝氣蓬勃 ,〝新學期、新氣象〞煥然一新,未來的學習生活或?qū)⑹且粋€漫長的學習生涯 ,四年以后走出國門、奔向世界。毛主席說身體是革命的本錢，同學們正值青春美好年華的學生時期，學好文化知識的同時也應(yīng)身強力壯。在本周的體育課中 ，讓同學們了解到“ 體育不應(yīng)僅僅是讓學生參加體育運動和做游戲。體育鍛煉的目的是發(fā)展一組可以轉(zhuǎn)移使用的技能,以促進同學們在身體、智力、情感以及社交方面的發(fā)展;鼓勵學同學們現(xiàn)在和今后都能做出有益于長久健康生活的選擇;使同學了解體育活動對個人和社區(qū)的文化意義?！?希望同學們在日后在課堂能完成老師安排的鍛煉任務(wù)，完成并落實自我的運動鍛煉計劃 ，進一步提高與形成精煉的運動技能，培養(yǎng)自我鍛煉意識，提高身體素質(zhì)。

In the first class, the students are full of spirit and vitality. The semester and weather will be completely new for the students. Their future study life will be a long learning career. After four years, they will go abroad and head for the world. Chairman Mao said that the body is the capital of the revolution. The students are worthy of their youthful years. When they learn cultural knowledge, they should also be strong. In this week's physical education class, the students will learn that “PE is more than just sports and games." The purpose of physical exercise is to develop a set of skills that can be transferred to promote the physical and mental skills of the students; emotional and social development; encourage students to make choices that are beneficial to a long-term healthy life now and in the future; to enable students to understand the cultural significance of sports activities to individuals and communities.” I hope that students will be able to complete this in the future. The teacher will arrange the exercise tasks, implement the self-exercise program, form refined motor skills, cultivate self-exercise awareness, and improve physical fitness.
