01 致家长的一封信
Dear Baishan AWS Parents, Students, and Friends,
We are now heading into the last month of school before our long winter break and New Year Holidays. It is exciting to see the progress our students are making in their participation in school life,and their level of English usage in each of their classes. Each week,our students also take part in activities such as Art, Basketball, Drama, Robotics/Technology, Journalism,and Sport. We want our students to have a strong variety of activities to make school fun.
In February, we will have three young men from Baishan AWS head off to Annie Wright in Tacoma for three weeks. In early January, we will be sending one of our students to a young women's leadership seminar in Hawaii,USA. It will be great to learn more about their experiences when they return to Qingdao.We should be proud of their courage and willingness to take risks and try something new!
Our staff is evaluating the usefulness of having some of our students have their laptops in school. Although there is much that can be done with this technology, we are considering the distraction that is often created by having this tool available throughout the day. We will discuss this more with families in the weeks ahead. We will be sure to notify everyone of any policy change in a timely manner.
Finally, remember that there are performances of, “Little Shop of Horrors” at QAIS this weekend. And, our kids have been invited to take part in a school dance together with QAIS next Friday, December 20. Our homeroom teachers will send out the information to you all once more next week. We have already shared these details with the students.
Best Regards,
Robert Hinman
Director

尊敬的白珊·安妮高中的家长,学生和朋友们:
临近期末,学生们正在进行寒假和新年假期来临之前本学期最后一个月的在校学习,我们很高兴看到学生们在参与学校生活方面取得的进步,以及他们在每门课上英语水平的提高。除此之外,我们的学生每周还参加艺术、篮球、戏剧、机器人/计算机技术、杂志编辑和体育等活动。我们希望学生们可以参加各种各样的活动,让他们的学校生活丰富多彩,充满乐趣。
明年二月份,我们将有三名同学前往美国塔科马的安妮莱特学校进行为期三周的交换学习。一月初,我们将派一名优秀学生去美国夏威夷参加“年轻女性领导力”的研讨会。很期待他们返回青岛时,跟我们一起分享他们难忘的经历。我们应该为他们敢于冒险、勇于尝试新事物的精神而自豪!
老师们正在讨论和评估学生在校使用笔记本电脑的优缺点。尽管学生可以使用笔记本电脑来完成很多事情,但有时他们的学习也因为每天接触电脑而带来干扰。我们将在未来几周内与家长们进一步讨论这一问题,有任何电脑使用政策方面的变化,我们将会及时通知到您。
值得一提的是,本周末美亚国际学校有“Little Shop of Horrors”(《绿魔先生》)话剧的演出。下周五,也就是12月20日,安妮学生也被邀请和美亚国际学校的学生一起参加学校的冬日舞会。
顺祝冬安!

Classroom Snapshots
课堂风采
The Art students have finished their pastel batiks. This fun process challenges students to create subject matter from random lines, then create color gradients using oil pastel. As a modern interpretation of a traditional batik process, the students then covered their oil pastel drawing with dark black Chinese ink. The oil pastel resists the ink while the white paper quickly absorbs it, resulting in an interesting effect. This quick lesson encourages the students to enjoy taking risks and exploring new art processes. Several of these works will be on display in the AWS hallway.
Art Class 艺术课堂
本周在艺术课上,学生们已经完成了他们的蜡染作品。这个有趣的创作过程要求学生从随机的线条中创建绘画主题,然后使用油彩创建颜色梯度。作为对传统蜡染工艺的现代诠释,学生们随后用深黑色的中国墨水覆盖他们的蜡笔画,当白纸快速吸收墨水时,油彩粉会抵抗墨水,产生有趣的效果。这个创作课程鼓励学生们享受冒险和探索新的艺术形式。其中一些学生的作品将在白珊·安妮高中的走廊上展出。
In our grade 9 integrated science/Geometry class, we did a lab on motion, creating motion which matched a given position-time graph or velocity time graph. For Geometry we looked at congruence proofs for triangles using AAS and ASA, and properties of isosceles and equilateral triangles.
九年级的综合科学课,我们做了一个关于运动的实验,进行了与给定的位置-时间图或速度-时间图相匹配的运动实验。在几何课上,我们用AAS和ASA研究了三角形的同等证明,以及等腰三角形和等边三角形的性质。
In our grade 10 Science class, we did a lab on motion, creating motion which matched a given position-time graph or velocity time graph. Additionally we continued studying circular and projectile motion and began to look at Newton's law of universal gravitation.
十年级的科学课上,我们做了关于运动的实验,进行了与给定的位置-时间图或速度-时间图相匹配的运动实验。此外,我们继续研究了圆周运动和抛射运动,并开始研究牛顿万有引力定律。

Little Shop of Horrors: Coming Soon!
On Friday and Saturday,December 12 and 13, drama students of QAIS and AWS had an amazing show called “Little Shop of Horrors”.Mrs. Borodenko is the big teacher of this show. I interviewed her and asked her some questions about this show.
本周五、周六(12月12日和13日)QAIS和AWS的戏剧社学生们举办了一场名为《绿魔先生》”的精彩演出。Mrs. Borodenko是这次演出的主要老师。我有幸采访到了她,问了她一些关于节目的问题。
KC:How and why did you choose this show?
Mrs.Borodenko: We chose Little Shop of Horrors because some of our creatives have been involved in a previous production and thought it was a good time for our school to do a show that incorporates some of the unique elements Little Shop offers -- such as a rock band, the large scale puppetry and the comedic/horror themes. We were excited by the challenges of the show and how we thought it would work with our student artists.
KC:您为何会选《绿魔先生》这部剧?
Mrs.Borodenko:我们之所以选择《绿魔先生》是因为我们的一些创意人员曾参与过之前的制作,我们认为现在是我们学校制作一个节目的好时机,该剧融合了一些独特元素,例如摇滚乐队、大型木偶戏和喜剧/恐怖主题。我们对演出的挑战以及如何与学生艺术家们合作感到非常兴奋。
KC: How do you choose who plays the roles?
Mrs. Borodenko: For all of our shows we hold open auditions for any students interested in participating. We do several days of auditions where we give students an opportunity to sing, act and engage in group activities to see how they work together.
We then take into consideration the strength of each student, the character list and requirements of each role and the experience level and interests of the students to put students in the best role.
KC:您是如何选角色演员的呢?
Mrs. Borodenko:我们所有的节目,在选择演员时都会为有兴趣参加的学生们举行公开的海选。我们做了几天的试镜,让学生们有机会唱歌、表演和参加集体活动,看看他们是如何合作的。然后,我们将考虑每个学生的实力、每个角色的性格和要求以及学生的经验水平和兴趣等,以使学生处于最佳角色。
KC: Next Friday my friend and I will go and see this show. If you also want to see the show you can buy tickets via QR code on the Little Shop of Horrors posters on the school door.
Mrs. Borodenko says, “there is limited seating for each show so we encourage people to buy tickets early so you don't miss this awesome show!’’ I agree. (All photos provided by QAIS)
