白珊·安妮高中周讯（18）

 

Dear Baishan AWS Parents and Students,

 

We were very happy to have had our Grade 10 students back at school this week. It's great to see them again in person, and catch up on life and school together. 

 

All Baishan AWS staff are completing updated course progress summaries. Using this data, as well as the latest Oxford results, we will complete a recommended plan of how the remainder of the year will be organized. Students who have kept up with their work, will logically need less time to ensure completion of their classes. We want to base our decisions on a student-by-student basis, so we are fair in our expectations of each student's needs and effort.

 

Starting in June, we will work on planning the course selection process for each student. For our current Grade 9 students, the main schedule for next year is very clear. Grade 9's are still in the process of completing the base credit requirements of the AWS diploma. For our grade 10's, their courses become more defined, and at a higher level as they start their third year of high school. We also begin to review SAT test planning, and the first steps toward university applications and selection.

 

Have a Good Weekend,

 

Robert Hinman

Director

 

 

尊敬的白珊·安妮高中的家长和学生们：

 

本周我们10年级的学生重新返回了学校。很高兴能再次跟他们一起在校园里学习和生活。

 

白珊·安妮高中的老师们正在更新并总结学生们的课程进度，并将利用这些数据以及学生们最新进行的牛津大学英语水平等级测试的成绩，为学生们制定本学年剩余时间的学习计划。如果学生们能及时跟上学习进度，他们需要确保完成课程的时间会少一些。我们会根据每个学生的基础和需求，制定公平合理的学习计划。

 

从六月份开始，我们将为每个学生规划选课过程。对于现在九年级的学生来说，明年的主要课程安排非常明确。九年级学生将继续完成安妮怀特学校高中文凭所需的基本学分要求。对于10年级的学生来说，学习目标也更加明确，学生需要在开始高中第三年的学习的时候达到更高的水平。我们也正在制定SAT的考试计划，并着手开始计划学生们大学选择和申请的工作。

 

祝您周末愉快！

Art with Mr. Brandt

 

The 9th graders returned to the art studio with enthusiasm and creativity.  While several art students spent the time catching up with some eLearning tasks, others started creating their environmental-inspired artwork using local bamboo and organic paper.  These sculptures help to invite the viewers into the space.  The 9.5 grade students worked together to create one large sculpture that is currently hanging in the Art Gallery.  

本周九年级的学生带着热情和创造力回到了艺术工作室。其中一部分学生花时间完成了一些网上学习任务，另一些学生开始用竹子和有机纸创作受环境启发的艺术品。这些雕塑作品将有助于启发观众的空间联想感。9.5年级的学生们一起创作了一件大型雕塑，目前悬挂在艺术工作室里。

 

Students will continue working on using local materials to create more environment-inspired works.

学生们还将继续利用能找到的材料创作更多受环境启发的作品。

English with Ms. Roth

 

 Ninth grade English continues to study poetic devices and on Friday we tried our hand at writing rhyming couplets. We are working toward an end-of-the-year performance of poems that will be recorded. Tenth grade came back to school and jumped right into the study of the novel Pay It Forward. The novel study will take us to the end of the year and allow us to consider the question: What would happen if we were all kind to one another?

本周九年级的英语文学课上，学生们继续学习了诗歌，本周五学生们试着写了押韵对偶句。我们正在为年底将要录制的诗歌表演而努力。十年级的学生本周也回到了校园，直接进入到了小说Pay It Forward的学习中。这部小说的学习将持续到学期末，并会让学生们思考这样一个问题：如果人们都彼此友好相处，将会发生什么。

US History and World Geography with Ms. Brauer

 

In our continuing study of migration, the 9th graders spent this week focusing on urbanization, the massive movement from rural communities to cities happening worldwide. We analyzed and compared seven different data sets to see if we could extrapolate some general rules and trends of urbanization. 

在本周的世界地理课上，九年级的学生继续对移民问题进行了研究，本周的重点集中在城市化问题上，这是一场从农村到城市的大规模的迁移。学生们分析和比较了7个不同的数据材料，看看能否可以推断出一些城市化的一般规律和趋势。

 

We were thrilled to welcome the 10th graders back to school this week! During this re-orientation week, most of our first period time was spent on school safety and the logistics of rejoining our little learning community. We'll dive back into US History next week, though, right into the dramas and excesses of the Gilded Age.  

本周我们很高兴欢迎10年级的学生们回到学校！在这个重新定位周里，学生们花时间进行了学校安全和新的规章制度的学习。下周的美国历史课堂将研究美国的镀金时代。 

Math and Science with Mr. Mackiegan

 

In our ninth-grade geometry class, we looked at volumes and surface areas of pyramids and cones, spheres, and volumes and surface areas of similar solids. Next week, we will begin our study of circular geometry, looking at tangent lines, chords and arcs, and inscribed angles.

本周在九年级的几何课上，学生们研究了金字塔式结构和圆锥体的体积和表面积，球体以及类似图形的体积和表面积。下周，我们将开始研究圆形的几何特性，研究切线、弦，弧以及内接角。

 

In our tenth grade integrated science class, we started our study of biology, looking at characteristics and needs of living things, and the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Next week, we will look at plant cells versus animal cells, organelles and their functions, and the cell membrane and transport through it. 

本周在十年级的综合科学课上，学生们开始学习生物学，研究生物的特性和需求，以及原核细胞和真核细胞之间的区别。下周，我们将研究植物细胞与动物细胞，细胞结构及其功能，以及细胞膜和它的运输功能。

Math with Mrs. Hinman

 

Students in Algebra II are investigating how all major information about special triangles can fit into the unit circle. Let's see if you can use unit circle

在本周代数II的课程中，学生们正在研究特殊三角形的主要特性以及他们是如何应用于单位圆的计算。看看你能不能分析单位圆。
