From the Director  项目主任总结

Thank you parents!  Last week, I wrote about our school's extra emphasis on making sure students have done the best they can ahead of the upcoming Semester 1 reports.  We cancelled extra-curricular activities this week to allow students more time to make last-minute submissions and corrections before the grades become permanent.  Happily, our teachers are seeing students utilize this time by reporting to teachers and submitting late work and corrections.  I believe students are more conscientious about their grades because of the encouragement by both parents and teachers.

首先，非常感谢家长们对我们工作的支持！上周，我在周讯中特别强调要帮助并确保学生在即将到来的第一学期成绩报告截止之前尽最大努力。我们取消了本周的课外活动，以便让学生有更多的时间，在成绩报告截止之前，尽可能多地提交和改正之前的作业 。令人高兴的是，我们看到学生们充分利用这段时间主动向老师汇报并改正和提交了作业。我相信学生们对自己成绩更加认真和积极的态度是源于家长和老师们的积极鼓励。  

I also want to thank our teachers for providing multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate what they have learned, often grading, then re-grading, and offering personalized help sessions for those in need.  Thank you teachers!

其次，我也要感谢我们的老师为学生提供了多种机会来展示他们所学的东西，给学生打分，然后重新打分，并为那些需要帮助的人提供个性化的帮助。谢谢老师们！

 

Grades are being finalized this week.  Reports will be printed Monday.  Please take time to read the very specific comments prepared by the teachers and discuss your child's academic progress.  Students can become better learners in Semester 2. Students' grades can get better. 

本学期的成绩统计截止到本周五。成绩报告将于下星期一印发。请家长们花点时间仔细阅读老师们给学生写的非常具体的评论，并跟孩子讨论一下他们在学业上的进步。在第二学期，学生们将成为更好的学习者。学生的成绩可以更加提高。

Physics with Mr. Kytle 物理

This week the students are looking at Gravitational Field Strength with Distance. How does distance impact the force of Gravity? The students are looking at data taken from a NASA probe which compared the weight of an object at different distances from the Earth. The students are using this data to determine how distance effects the strength of Gravity. We are also contemplating whether or not other sources of Gravity within the Solar System might have had an impact on the probes data. 本周物理课，学生们研究了引力场强度与距离的关系。距离如何影响重力？学生们正在分析来自美国宇航局探测器的数据，该探测器比较了一个物体在离地球不同距离处的重量。学生们用这些数据来分析并确定距离是如何影响重力强度 的。我们也在考虑太阳系内的其他重力源是否会对探测器的数据产生影响。

 

The students are also finishing up any left over assignments as well as reviewing last weeks exam. The students were also given a chance to create something to enhance our Learning Environment in exchange for additional points. 除此之外，学生们也利用本周时间补交了一些之前未完成的作业，同时改正了上周考试中的错题。学生们也被给予机会来创作一些东西来加强和提高我们的学习环境和动力，从而获得额外的分数。  

6 - What most people forget to understand is that as a Spaceship increases in Mass so does the amount of Force needed to get it into orbit. The best way to overcome this is to create a Space Elevator. The students will be researching this after we complete our look at this weeks course content. 大多数学生没有注意的是，随着飞船质量的增加，进入轨道所需的力也随之增加。克服这一问题的最好办法是建造一个太空电梯。学生们将在完成本周课程内容后对此进行研究。

University Guidance and TOEFL with Ms. Du 美国大学升学指导课

This week, we continued dealing with PSAT - the scientific articles, mainly focusing on how to get the overall structure and guess meaning in context. It's clear that for certain students, it's not only the difficulty of the passage but also the learning attitude that affected their performance. In TOEFL class, we reviewed the vocabulary with the topics of arts and literature and then practiced listening conversations on those topics. Students are learning how to catch the key information, which is very important for them to succeed in this test.

本周，我们继续讨论PSAT——科学文章，主要关注如何在上下文中获得整体结构和猜测意义。很明显，对于某些学生来说，影响他们成绩的不仅是文章的难度，还有学习态度。在托福课上，我们复习了艺术和文学主题的词汇，然后练习了这些主题的听力对话。学生们正在学习如何抓住关键信息，这对他们在这次考试中取得成功是非常重要的。
