致家长的一封信
Friday Update for October 18th, 2019
Dear Baishan AWS Parents, Students, and Friends,
We are rapidly approaching the end of October, and our second month in school. We hope that our families will be able to attend the International Day event at QAIS this Saturday. We are also happy that many of our students will take part in this event, and learn the values of service and charity upon which the event is based.
We are looking forward to seeing you all next week for our parent-teacher conferences which will be held on the 24th and 25th of October. We will do our best to meet your scheduling needs, and work with our staff to be as flexible for our families as possible. Remember too that our first set of report cards will be sent to families on the 4th of November.
Each day we learn more about our students, and how they are learning. We do notice that students often have a great desire to play games on their computers. Our parents should know that we work very hard to monitor computer use, and want our students to take part in the “real world” as opposed to the digital one as much as possible. We hope that our families also will work to take part in the lives of their children in an active way over the weekends, rather than allowing kids to spend hours each week playing on a computer.
My dad had a small sign on our refrigerator when I was growing up. It said, “The most important thing to spend on your kids is time”.
Looking forward to seeing you all later next week.

尊敬的白珊·安妮高中的家长、学生、朋友们：
马上就要到10月底了，这是我们白珊·安妮高中项目开学的第二个月。我们很高兴我们大多数学生将参加本周六美亚国际学校举办的国际日活动，学生们会感受并学习为他人服务和慈善的价值，这也是本次活动的初衷。希望我们的家长们也能参加此次活动。
我们期待在下周10月24日和25日举行的家长老师见面会中与您见面。我们将尽最大努力满足家长们的时间需求，并在不耽误学生们正常上课的前提下，尽可能灵活地安排我们的每位老师与家长见面沟通孩子的学习情况。同时，学生们第一阶段的成绩单将于11月4日寄给您。
每天我们都在增加对我们学生的了解，以及他们的学习状况。我们确实注意到有的学生有用电脑玩游戏的强烈愿望。希望家长们明白，我们正在非常努力地监控学生们对电脑的使用情况，我们希望我们的学生尽可能地参与“真实世界”而不是虚拟世界。我们希望家长们也能在周末积极参与孩子的生活，而不是让孩子在周末花几个小时玩电脑。
在我小时候，我爸爸在我们家冰箱上挂了一个小牌子，上面写着：“您给孩子最重要的东西是您的时间” 。
期待下周与您见面。

The 9th
grade students had a challenge day, competing in teams to solve four puzzles
that required them to apply their growing knowledge of plate tectonics and the
structure of the earth. Achievement unlocked! We're moving on to landforms
now...
本周地理课对九年级的学生是一个挑战，他们以小组合作的形式解决了四个难题，需要他们应用所学到的板块构造和地球结构的知识来解决。成功解锁！我们现在开始研究地形…
The 10th grade has been studying Native Americans as a test case for evaluating historical sources -- which ones can we trust, and when do we have to ask more questions and find more support? How can we tell the difference between a reliable source and fake news?
在本周的美国历史课上，十年级的学生一直在研究美洲土著居民，并以此作为评估历史资源的一个测试案例——我们可以信任哪些资源，我们什么时候才能提出更多的问题，找到更多的支持材料？如何区分可信资料和虚假的资料？
Math 数学
In Accelerated Algebra II, students began their study of quadratics by analyzing the parabolas in video games. Students investigated the standard and vertex forms in a hypothetical "Water Balloon Contest." Next week we'll try out the air rockets at QAIS.
本周在代数2的课堂中，学生们通过分析视频游戏中的抛物线开始学习求积。学生们在一个虚拟的“水气球竞赛”中分析了顶点形式。下周，我们将在美亚国际学校试飞空气火箭模型。

Welcome to AWS, Mr. Mackeigan
Mr. Mackeigan is our new Science teacher who teaches us Physics, Math and Biology.
Mr. Mackeigan is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He is an excellent teacher who graduated number one in his program at university.
He has been in China for 6 years already. He thought China was a very mysterious place when he was a kid. So he decided tobe a teacher in China and found a job here.But things didn’t go well in the first yearhe came to China. He was pretty confusedbecause of the new language and new culture. To survive in a new environment, he started learning Chinese through an app on his phone. After three years, he got used to the new environment. Things started to make sense and he could read some texts. Now he can speak some Chinese phrases that really surprise us.
Mr. Mackeigan has his parents back home and a younger brother in the United States. It’s not easy for him to be in an unfamiliar country for six years. We're glad he has stuck with his idea of being a
teacher in China, since we are honored to have such a nice teacher.

白珊·安妮高中迎来新老师
上周白珊·安妮高中来了一位新老师——Mr.Mackeigan，他来自加拿大新斯科舍省，是一位可以教授我们数学、生物、化学和物理的科学老师。Mr.Mackeigan不仅是一位全才老师，还曾经在大学时代的一个学术项目中以第一名的优异成绩脱颖而出。
在这两个周的相处当中我们还了解到，Mr.Mackeigan孩童时期就向往着来中国这个充满神秘色彩的国家，所以他毕业后不就便在中国找了工作。这一呆便是六年。采访时他说：“刚来中国的第一年，我非常不适应新的语言和新的环境。”但是他并没有因此退缩，他抓住所有学习中文的机会，靠着手机中的教软件慢慢掌握了许多汉语知识。现在的他已经可以阅读简单的汉语文章。时不时从他口中蹦出的汉语更是让我们惊奇——俨然一个“中国通“。
离开家乡六年之久的他实属不易，我很高兴他选择来到我们学校，同时也非常荣幸能够拥有这样一位知难而进、独自闯荡拼搏的老师给我们授课！希望在未来的三年我们可以一起学习，一起进步！
