白珊·安妮高中周讯（17）

 

 

Dear Baishan AWS Parents and Students,

 

Good News!

 

We have just learned that high school students, including our Grade 10's are now approved for a return to school between the dates of May 18th and May 28th. We will let our Grade 10 parents know as soon as the final return date is announced. 

We are also very happy to have had our grade 9 students back to school this week. I hope they had some fun, got to socialize, and of course, got back to the regular schedule of school.

 

We have been very busy learning our new routines to meet the local health requirements, and I think the kids have done fine so far. We thank them and all of you for your support. 

 

We completed Oxford assessments of the students on Friday. We will review this data, and use this to plan to support our English instruction and integration of these learning concepts across subject areas. Toward the end of next week, we will share with each student and parent a learning goal plan for each subject, with priorities listed to ensure we build the necessary skills to accomplish higher level goals.

 

Finally, I want everyone to know that Lorne Brandt will be helping me stay in close contact with all that is happening at AWS. So any questions you have can be discussed with him, and we will review any decisions that need to be made. And don't forget, you all can send me a message or question any time.

 

Have a Good Weekend,

 

Robert Hinman

 

尊敬的白珊·安妮高中的家长和学生们，

 

好消息！

 

我们刚刚得知，包括我们10年级在内的高中生现在获准在5月18日至5月28日期间返校上课。一旦我们收到最终明确的返校日期，我们会及时通知您。 

 

我们也很高兴本周九年级的学生已经返回学校上课了。我希望他们开心，跟同学有一些社交活动，当然，更重要的是要尽快回到学校的常规日程。

 

我们一直致力于让学生适应新的生活方式，以满足当地教育系统的健康要求，我认为孩子们到目前为止做得很好。非常感谢学生们和您们所有人的支持。

 

本周五学生们完成了牛津英语水平测试的评估。我们将参考此次评估的数据，并利用这些数据来计划并支持英语教学和跨学科领域一些学习概念的整合。下周，我们将与每位学生和家长分享每门课程的学习目标和计划，并列出优先事项，以确保培养学生完成更高层次目标所需的技能。

 

最后，我想告知您，Lorne Brandt先生将会协助我与白珊·安妮高中保持密切的联系。因此，如果您有任何问题，都可以跟Brandt先生沟通，之后我们会讨论并根据需要做出决定，您 也可以随时给我留言或提问。

 

祝您周末愉快！

English with Ms. Roth

 

It was so great to be back in school with 9th grade students this week. We spent the week with a light language review, just to get the feel of English again. Next week, we will mix language acquisition classes with a unit of poetry that will take us to the end of the year. 本周能和九年级的学生一起回到学校上课真是太好了！本周的英语课上，我们进行了较为轻松的语言复习，让学生们找回说英语的语感。下周，我们将进行语言习得课，并开始诗歌单元的学习，诗歌单元将一直持续到学期末。

 

Tenth grade started a novel but it was difficult to study a novel successfully through e-learning so we have decided together to read shorter texts until 10th grade is allowed to return. Next week, we'll read some letters to the editor to study how people try to persuade others.本周十年级的英语文学课上，学生们开始读一本小说，但是通过网络学习很难成功地研究一本小说，所以我们决定先从阅读较短的文本开始，等十年级学生可以返校回到课堂之后再进行小说的学习。 下周，我们将通过阅读一些写给编辑的信来研究人们是如何说服别人的。

Math and Science with Mr. Mackeigan

 

In our geometry class, we looked at 3D figures--namely prisms, cylinders, cones, and pyramids--and looked at the formulas for their surface areas. We also began to look at their volumes, starting with the formula for the volume of prisms and cylinders. 本周在几何课上，我们研究了三维图形，即棱柱体、圆柱体、圆锥体和金字塔，并学习了它们的表面积公式。接下来将开始研究它们的体积，从棱镜和圆柱体的体积公式开始。

In our tenth grade integrated science class, we looked at VSEPR theory, molecular geometry, and polarity in molecules. Additionally, we started a review assignment which will conclude our study of covalent bonding. 在十年级的综合科学课上，我们研究了VSEPR理论、分子几何和分子的极性。此外，我们开始复习并结束对共价键的研究。

US History and World Geography with Ms. Brauer

 

It's World Geography Boot Camp, and these kids are working HARD this week. We are systematically reviewing all the concepts and vocabulary since February 10 -- writing tons of sentences along the way, and finding our voices in English again. This is giving me the chance to identify any gaps or missed linkages, and to make sure we're all solid on the material before moving ahead again in our studies of migration. 

本周的世界地理课是新兵训练营，学生们都非常努力。自2月10日以来，我们一直在系统地复习所学过的地理概念和术语词汇——同时进行了大量句子的写作练习，并再次用英语来表达自己的看法和观点，这让我有机会发现学生们在学习中的差距和遗漏的知识点，并确保我们在继续研究移民问题之前，对这些材料有扎实的掌握和足够的了解。

Our Historians voted this week on how they want to use the remainder of our time in US History this year, and their choices skew toward economic history, which will be fun and interesting. While I work on planning this new approach, they will spend one last week winding up our study of the Civil War, focusing on whether the promises of Reconstruction were fulfilled. 

本周的美国历史课上，学生们对我们接下来如何利用美国历史课剩余的课时进行了投票，学生们的选择偏向于经济史，学习的内容将会非常有趣。我在计划和准备相关的学习方法和材料的同时，学生们将会再用一周的时间结束对内战的研究，并将学习重点放在战后重建的承诺是否能兑现。

Math with Mrs. Hinman

 

Next week in Algebra II students will begin their last unit, Trigonometry. Students will begin a basic review of SOH-CAH-TOA  and quickly move to graphing trig functions and seeing how this can be used in real life applications. 在代数II的课程中，下周学生们将开始最后一个单元——三角学的学习。学生们将开始对SOH-CAH-TOA进行基本的复习，开始绘制三角函数，并了解如何在实际应用中使用它。

Art with Mr. Brandt

Art students have continued their studies of influential environmental artists.    They will now apply their research into a larger formal artwork using the natural materials found on campus. 本周的视觉艺术课上，学生们继续研究并学习了一些有影响力的环境艺术家。学生们现在将利用校园里发现的自然材料，将他们的研究成果应用到更大的正式艺术品中。
