Dear Baishan AWS Parents and Students,
We will be sending each family a letter next week to help everyone be clear about our goals and expectations for the remainder of the school year. This document is called a, "Student Learning Summary", and will list each class your son or daughter is taking along with a comment regarding work completion, and the probability that course credit will be possible to be earned this year. This document will provide all families with a clear and concise overview of the year's work to date.
We will then follow up on this process with Parent/Teacher conferences which will take place on Friday, June 12th. AWS staff will then have an opportunity to discuss with parents and students the details of what can be done with the time remaining in school year. The school office will send out a schedule, and help you all sign up for a time that can best meet your schedules.
I have been in contact with Annie Wright staff in Tacoma, (Annie Wright students will not return to classes this year) and we are organizing both college counseling as well as learning support for our students. It is good to have a strong partnership with our team in Tacoma. I truly hope that we can start back with our student exchanges that we had planned earlier this year, we will do all we can to make these happen!

World Geography and US History with Ms. Brauer
Migration, urbanization, and development are all intertwined. What does it mean to say that a country is developed or developing? The Grade 9 geographers started this week looking at how the way we talk about development has changed over time, and now we're studying quality of life indicators to see what data backs up how we categorize various countries. 移民、城市化和发展都是交织在一起的。我们怎样来定义一个国家是发达国家还 是发展中国家呢?本周在九年级的地理课上,学生们开始研究我们谈论的发展方 式是如何随着时间的推移而改变的,现在我们正在研究生活质量指标,看看有哪 些数据支持我们对不同国家的分类。
In US History, we're sorting through a dozen different primary sources to decide whether the richest men of the Gilded Age -- Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan -- were Captains of Industry or Robber Barons. 在美国历史课上,本周十年级的学生正在对十几个不同的主要资料来源进行分类, 以确定这个镀金时代最富有的人——洛克菲勒、卡内基和摩根——是工业大亨还 是强盗大亨。

English with Ms. Roth
Last week, English 9 practiced spotting sound devices in poems and this week will start digging into figurative language and different forms. They will start drafting their own poetry to be performed at the end of the year. Grade 10 continued their reading of Pay It Forward . We're a third of the way through the book now, getting to know the characters and considering different points of view.在英语文学课上,九年级的学生上周学习了如何在诗歌中识别发音规则,本周将开始深入研究修辞语言和不同的语言形式。学生们将开始起草自己的诗歌并在年底进行演出。十年级的学生继续阅读《Pay It Forward》这本书,我们现在已经读了三分之一的内容,了解了书中的人物,并分析了不同的视角和观点。
We are always ready to help.
