From the Director  项目主任总结

After several busy weeks preparing for Thanksgiving and the ASDAN Business Simulation Competition, it has been nice getting back into a regular routine of teaching and learning.  The 10th and 11th graders proved that taking part in community and regional project-based learning activities can be valuable motivators for learning.  These year-groups have brought a noticeable enthusiasm to classes this past week.

经过几周忙碌地准备感恩节活动和ASDAN商业模拟比赛之后,本周我们回归到正常的教学活动中。10年级和11年级的学生们很好地证明了积极参与社区和区域活动对他们学习的促进作用,他们在过去的这周给同学们带来了明显的热忱与喜悦。


This is a reminder that the first semester ends January 22, 2021.  This means that the students will continue with their learning through the December holiday and prepare for heavy assessments in January.

提示:本学年第一学期将于2021122日结束。这意味着所有学生在12月的圣诞节假期期间仍要继续学习,为1月份的期末测评作准备。


Tacky Sweater Day! Friday, December 18th 丑毛衣节!1218日,星期五

All students are encouraged to wear a "Tacky" Sweater on December 18th.  Students will have two options: the school uniform, or 2) wear an obviously extra festive Christmas- or winter-themed sweater. This is a newer tradition that helps remind us that holiday traditions can also be humorous and light-hearted.

所有的学生被鼓励在1218日的时候穿一件毛衣。学生们有两个选择:一是穿学校校服,二是穿具有明显圣诞气息的或者冬天主题的毛衣。这是一项新的惯例,能帮助提醒我们节假日的传统也可以是幽默和轻松的。

Mathematics with Mr. Guo 数学

 

The 11th Graders have been working  on graphing Trigonometric Functions and solving Trigonometric Equations for two weeks. They learned the parent graphs of sine, cosine and tangent functions and tried to change the amplitude, frequency and period of these functions. They discovered that periodic behaviors could be modelled by trigonometric functions.

过去的两周时间,十一年级的同学们一直在学习画三角函数图像和解三角函数方程。他们先学习了基本的正弦,余弦,正切函数图像,再尝试着去改变波长,频率和周期。他们发现周期性的行为可以用三角函数去建立模型。


Grade 10 students continued their unit on Exponential and Logarithmic functions. We graphed both functions and discussed the domain, range, asymptotic, minimum/maximum,  vertical shift and phase shit of the functions. We looked at the application of Exponential and Logarithmic modelling, and discussed the methods of solving exponential and logarithmic equations.

十年继续指数与对数函数的学习。我们画了函数图像,讨论了函数的定义域,值域,渐近线,最小/最大值,垂直、横向移动。 我们探讨了指数与对数函数的实际应用和解指数、对数方程的方法。


Grade 9 students discovered three conditions to prove similar triangles and tried to use similarity to find indirect measurements. We also learned several Geometric Theorems related to similar triangles and discussed Golden ration and Fibonacci Sequence. They enjoyed the activity of searching for the "Golden" person.

九年级的同学们发现了三种证明相似三角形的方法,并且尝试用相似三角形的性质去解决问题。我们还学习了和相似三角形相关的几个定理,并且讨论了黄金比例和斐波纳契序列。他们都努力尝试找到隐藏在自己身上的黄金比例

English Language Arts with Ms. Jia and Ms. Jenn 英语语言文学

 

Thanksgiving already seems like a distant memory as we continue our study of language and literature. This week, 9th grade had an opportunity to debate whether juveniles who commit murder deserve to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Tenth grade spent the week preparing to give persuasive speeches to the class. And in 11th grade, we spent some time discussing similarities and differences between popular fiction, folk fiction, and literary fiction, as well as the pros and cons of each genre and their importance to the cultural conversation. In the next two weeks, we'll be completing the content for Unit 2. After we return from the holiday break, students will focus on a unit assessment and spend a week in Writer's Workshop.   本周我们继续学习英语语言和文学,感恩节似乎已经成为一个遥远的回忆。本周,九年级的学生针对犯下谋杀罪的青少年是否应该在监狱里度过余生这个话题进行了辩论。十年级每位学生准备并给全班同学做了有说服力的演讲。在11年级的英语文学课上,我们花了一些时间讨论了通俗小说、民间小说和文学小说之间的异同,每种类型小说的利弊以及它们在文化交流中的重要性。在接下来的两周里,我们将完成第二单元内容的学习。圣诞节假期之后,学生们将集中精力进行复习,准备第二单元的评估,然后是为期一周的写作周。 


Physical and Health Education with Coach Faamamafa 体育

 

This week we develop frisbee skills and have a little tournament between three groups. The students gets to pass the frisbee around before they play- Working on how to throw and how to catch it. After that they compete two points and the the group that lost the overall did 20 push ups and 20 squats. They we also play team work using handball they need to hit the target on the other side and make sure they working on defence to protect their target from getting hit by the ball. It was tiring because it's included running and defence the whole time but overall the students were having fun and develop their team work and communication.

本周体育课上,我们学习了玩飞盘的技巧,并在三个小组之间进行了一场小型比赛。学生们在玩之前练习了如何传飞盘,学习如何投掷和接住飞盘。然后进行比赛,失利的那一组则做了20次俯卧撑和20次下蹲。除此之外,我们也通过手球练习了团队合作,学生们需要瞄准对方的目标,同时做好自己的防守工作,保护自己的球门不被球击中。这项活动很累,既要跑步进攻,同时又要防守,但总的来说,学生们玩得很开心,同时也锻炼了他们的团队合作能力和交流能力。

 



 

Physics with Mr. Kytle 物理

 

Greetings!

This week the students are continuing to enhance their understanding of the four fundamental forces that are the bedrock of the universe as we know it. This week we are focusing on the Electromagnetic Force. The students are examining magnetic fields and discovering how they work, how they benefit us, and how we have and continue to utilize them in our daily lives. On Friday, the students will have an opportunity to work with metal fillings and magnets to visually inspect what a magnetic field looks like under different conditions.

本周在物理课上,学生们继续加强了对四种基本力的理解,这四种基本力是我们所了解的宇宙的基石。本周学生们重点学习了电磁力。学生们正在研究磁场,发现它们是如何工作的,如何使我们受益,以及我们如何在日常生活中利用磁场。本周五学生们使用金属填充物和磁铁来直观地观察了不同条件下的磁场。


Chinese Studies with Mr. Zhan

 

本周9年级学生学习了鲁迅的《故乡》和莫泊桑的《我的叔叔于勒》这两篇小说。这两篇小说,主题不同,风格迥异。但学生们在学习时发现了一个共同点——两篇小说里都有少年的身影。大家就小说中的少年形象和在文中的作用进行了探究。不得不说,在探究式的学习环境中,学生的思维更能被激活,眼光更具独特性。

This week, grade 9 students learned two novels, Lu Xun's hometown and Maupassant's my uncle jules. The two novels are different in theme and style. But the students found one thing in common when they were studying - there were "Teenagers" in both novels. We have explored the image of "Youth" in the novel and its role in the text. It has to be said that in the inquiry learning environment, students' thinking can be more activated and their vision is more unique.


Chemistry with Ms. Jiajia 化学

 

In these two weeks, Grade 11 students continued to learn shapes of  molecules, polar & non-polar, resonance & formal charge, metallic bonding and alloys, giant structure and electron domain geometry & molecular structure geometry.

这个星期,11年级学生继续学习了分子构型,极性与非极性,共振与形式电荷,金属键及合金。加深自己对这周所学知识的理解与掌握。

Meanwhile, students explored the properties of dry ice- solid carbon dioxide. They enjoyed the activities and celebrated for their chemistry thanksgiving. Besides they built Buckminsterfullerene model of C60 to describe giant structure.

另外,学生们还探究了干冰,固体二氧化碳的性质。同时他们玩得很开心,以化学的形式庆祝感恩节。学生们还通过用原子模型来搭建足球烯,从而帮助研究巨型共价键结构。

Humanities with Ms. Brauer 人文科学

 

This week and last have been presentation weeks for all our geographers!

本周和上周是我们所有地理学家们的演示周!


Grade 11 AP students chose a country at random  which ended up being Kenya, Iraq, and Thailand  and analyzed a range of development data. Next, they stepped into a consultant role, identifying the most pressing needs in each country. Then they completed a real UN proposal used to apply for $5,000 grants, to fund a development project of their own design.

11年级AP人文地理课的学生随机选择一个国家——他们分别选择了肯尼亚、伊拉克和泰国——分析了一系列发展数据。接下来,他们扮演顾问的角色,确定每个国家最迫切的需求。然后他们完成了一个可行的联合国提案,用来申请5000美元的捐款,资助他们自己设计的一个发展项目。


Our Grade 9 geographers have been studying aquatic ecosystems, so their presentations were focused on teaching each other about the complex natural systems that can be found in rivers, lakes, and in the open and deep ocean.

九年级的地理学家们一直在研究水生生态系统,所以他们的演讲集中在相互教授河流、湖泊以及远洋和深海中复杂的自然系统。


And in World History, our Grade 10 + 11 historians have been evaluating a range of both primary and secondary sources this week, to figure out why the Abbasid Empire was important and what it was like to live in the Middle East during the Middle Ages. 

在世界历史课上,10年级和11年级的历史学家们本周评估了一系列主要和次要的资料来源,分析并找出为什么阿巴斯帝国很重要,以及在中世纪生活在中东是什么样子。


Chinese Language with Ms. Zheng 中国文学

 



辩论可以明是非,审治乱,明同异,察名实,处利害,决嫌疑,本周10年级学生们学以致用,引经据典,平中见奇,呈现了一场精彩纷呈的关于性本善还是性本恶的课堂辩论。学生们把所学的中国古代文化思想加以运用,结合典型事例和各自的生活经验,对人性进行了深入的讨论和探究,在如何为人处世方面也颇受启发,作为第二单元的总结汇报项目,交上了一份满分答卷。

The debate can "Understand the similarities and differences, investigate the false and reality, deal with the interests, and determine the suspicion". This week, the students of G10 applied what they learned, quoted the classics, and saw the extraordinary in the ordinary, presenting a wonderful class debate on "the human nature of good" or "the human nature of evil". The students applied the Chinese ancient culture and thoughts, combined with typical examples and their own life experience, conducted in-depth discussion and Exploration on human nature. They were also inspired by how to "Interact with people". As a summary report project of unit 2, they handed in a full score answer paper.


本周,11年级AP中文课的学生们进行了第二单元——短语和句子的专题检测。通过检测大家对所学内容进行复习回顾,查漏补缺,并对试题所涉及知识进行总结反思,找到存在的问题和不足加以修正。接下来,我们会结合测试内容,针对阅读和写作这两个重要的模块进行专题的讲解和训练。

This week, the G11 students of AP Chinese took a summary test of phrases and sentences. Through the examination, they reviewed what they have learned, fingered out the omissions and made up for the deficiencies, summarize and reflect on the knowledge involved in the test questions, and found the existing problems and deficiencies to be corrected. Next, we will combine the test content to explain and train the two important templates of reading and writing.


Visual Arts with Mr. Brandt 视觉艺术

 

After missing some art lessons last week due to our Thanksgiving celebration, the students were able to get back to their art assignments.

上周,由于我们的感恩节活动,学生们错过了一些艺术课,本周学生们开始重新继续他们的艺术作业。


The Blue Tie 9th graders are applying their skills to practices.  Several of the students have started their finals.  The students have two weeks to develop these watercolor painting.

九年级蓝领带的学生正在把他们的绘画技能运用到实践中。有几个学生已经开始准备期末考试的作品了。学生们有两周的时间来完成水彩画。


The Green and Red Tie students are bit behind with several students taking extra care to learn the materials and get good drawings before starting their final paintings.  Students should be reminded that the finals should demonstrate what they've researched with the precisionist art movement and compositional studies.  They should also remember that the finals should reflect something that is personal to them.

绿领带和红领带学生的学习进度有点落后,有几个学生在开始最后的绘画作品之前,需要重新关注绘画材料以及如何才能绘画出更好的作品。在期末考试的作品中,学生们应该能够展示他们对精确主义艺术运动和构图的研究和理解。学生们也应该记住,期末考试的作品也需要反映出带有个人情感的绘画主题。


All students will submit their bi-weekly sketchbook assignment, which should address this week's prompt: to look so close at an object that it becomes abstract.  Cropping will be very important.  Students are also reminded that top scores go to those who explore various art materials.  Students are welcome to borrow from the art room if they do not want to invest in their own materials.

所有的学生每两周需要提交一次绘画作业, 本周的绘画主题:物体看得太近以至于它变得抽象。素材剪裁非常重要,学生们已被告知作品要想得到高分,需要探索各种绘画材料。如果学生不想自己寻找绘画材料,也可以从美术室借阅。
