校园盛开迎春花

We are in this Together

我们在一起

Compared to previous years, people are more eager for the arrival of spring this year.

During this extraordinary holiday, many may have recalled the words of Charles Dickens: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Today, human beings are more connected than ever thanks to advances in technology and travel, and appear to share a common destiny where in an event that touches one part of the world will ultimately affect the rest of the globe.

Ergo,2019-nCOV outbreak has undoubtedly become a global pandemic. For educators, this is a great opportunity to teach the concept of globalization.We believe that in the time of internalization, it is necessary to guide our Childrens' perspective, independent thinking, and optimism - some essential qualities of a true world citizen. It is undoubtedly more important than mastering knowledge and academic skills.

The warmth of spring has arrived just as eager as the greetings and wishes from our AWS family, hoping we can overcome the epidemic and return to our happy school life soon!

今年，人们对春天的期盼比以往任何一年更为迫切。

在这个漫长的特殊假期，也许无数人回想起了查尔斯·狄更斯的一句话：这是一个最坏的时代，也是最好的时代！今天，共同的经历和体验，让我们都会因这句话而引发共鸣——这是一个全人类共命运、大融合的时代！

新冠肺炎疫情已成为全球议题。对于教育者而言，这正是让学生与世界建立良好连接的教育契机。我们相信，在一个全球化的时代，培养孩子的大局观、独立思考能力和乐观心态——这些是世界公民的必需品格，比起掌握知识点及各项技能，无疑更为重要。

感受到春天，从温度开始。寒冬已去，春天的温暖，一如来自白珊·安妮大家庭的问候与祝福。愿我们可以风雨同舟，战胜困难，早日重返快乐的校园生活。

01 Greeting from Mr.Hinman

来自茵曼主任的问候

Dear Baishan AWS Parents, Students, and Friends,

We have now moved through five weeks of distance learning. We hope that everyone sees that the staff is always trying new methods to get the lessons across in as exciting and interesting way as possible. I know that many of our students have mentioned to me that they are tired of being at home and want to get out among friends and have fun. This is completely understandable, and I am sure that this will be the case again soon. In the meantime, I think we should always focus on the positive, and remember that our team enjoys working with our students each day, no matter the format we must use.

It is through our friends and family that we make stressful times an opportunity to show one another that we care.

Robert Hinman

尊敬的白珊·安妮高中的家长，学生和朋友们：

本周我们已经完成了第五周的远程学习。我们的老师总是在尝试新的方法，以尽可能令人兴奋和有趣的方式来教授课程内容，这些大家有目共睹。也有学生跟我提过，说他们厌倦了呆在家里，盼望可以和朋友们出去玩。这是我们共同的心声，相信很快我们就能实现了！同时，我们应该始终保持积极的心态，不管采用什么样的上课形式，我们的教师团队始终珍惜并享受和学生们在一起学习的每一刻时光。

正是因为我们的朋友和家人，让这段充满压力的特殊时期变成了我们彼此关爱的机会。

顺祝安康！

Annie E-learning 安妮云课堂

Art with Mr.Brandt

The Coronavirus-19 did not stop students from learning and creating in Visual Arts.Visual Arts standards and course expectations include learning how to describe, analyze and interpret artwork.Each week,students have been challenged to select artworks by teacher-chosen artists and critique them.Students then created studies of the artworks by trying use the materials they found at home.

To do this, the visual art students used Microsoft Office 365 Teams and Forms to read the lesson and complete a form that prompts them to respond to specific parts of formal art critiques. This includes understanding the historical context in which artwork was created, such as during peace times or war times as doing so can dramatically influence artists’ intentions and viewers’ interpretations.

Although most of the student are using traditional and common art material, they are also encourage to take risk with drawing and painting with materials that are not meant to create artwork, such as painting with tea or coffee.

Although we look forward to returning to the art studio at school, there is much that can be learned using E-Learning.

美术作品选

新冠肺炎病毒并没有阻止学生们进行视觉艺术课程的学习和创作。视觉艺术课程的目标包括学习如何描述、分析和解释艺术作品。每周，学生们都会按老师的要求,挑选出老师指定艺术家的艺术作品，并进行评论。然后，学生们尝试使用在家里找到的材料，对这些艺术品进行研究。

为了课程能顺利进行，视觉艺术课的学生们使用微软Office 365 Teams 和Forms来学习课堂内容，并完成相应的表格，提示他们如何对正式艺术评论的特定部分进行作答。内容包括理解艺术作品创作的历史背景，如和平时期或战争时期，都会极大地影响艺术家的创作意图和观众的解读。

尽管大多数学生使用的是传统的普通艺术材料，但我们也鼓励学生大胆尝试，使用一些原本并非用来进行艺术品创作的材料进行绘画，例如用茶或咖啡来作画。

我们都期待着能尽快回到学校的艺术工作室，但现在我们使用在线学习，同样也收获良多。

Geography with Ms. Brauer

世界地理

In World Geography we’ve made the shift from Physical to Human Geography, starting all the way back with the first humans.

Grounding our claims in evidence is so important that we began with a survey of archaeology: What tools can scientists use to figure out the ages of really old things? And how do we piece together the stories of the earliest humans long before they started writing them down?

In our Unit Assessment, the 9th graders started by creating their own early civilizations. Now they’re reverse-engineering an archaeological dig – describing what evidence we’d have to find to support the claims they made within their historical fiction.

在世界地理云课堂中，我们已经从自然地理学转向了人文地理学，从最初的人类开始学习。

为我们的主张提供证据是非常重要的，所以我们从考古学的调查开始：科学家可以用什么工具来计算真正古老事物的年代？在人类有文字记录以前，我们是如何把最早期的人类故事进行拼凑整理的？

在单元评估中，九年级的学生从创造自己的早期文明开始。现在他们正在进行反向研究：通过考古学挖掘来描述并找到必须的证据来支持他们在历史小说中的说法。

Science and Math with Mr. Mackeigan 数理科学

In our tenth grade class, we looked at the quantum model of the atom,the four primary quantum numbers, energy diagrams, and electron configurations.

In our ninth grade class, we looked at atomic symbols and atomic masses for our science component. In geometry, we looked at the Pythagorean theorem and its converse, trigonometric ratios of special angles, and trigonometric functions of special angles.

十年级的网络科学课，我们研究了原子的量子模型、四个基本量子数、能量图和电子构型。

九年级的科学课，我们主要学习了原子符号和原子质量。在几何学中，我们研究了毕达哥拉斯定理，以及特殊角的逆三角比和三角函数。

03 Students Respond to Online Courses

在线学习乐趣多

This is the second semester of this school year, but because of the special situation we are facing right now in China, our school has delayed our opening date. Despite having a lot of issues that stop us from getting back to campus, our school is providing us online courses to help us keep making progress.

今年是本学年的第二学期，但由于我们中国现在所面临的特殊情况，学校推迟了开学日期。尽管有很多问题使得我们目前无法回到校园，但是通过在线授课，同样帮助我们快乐学习，不断进步！

Q: HOW DO TEACHERS TEACH, AND HOW DOES THE ONLINE SYSTEM WORK?

如何开展云课堂教学？

A: Ms. Brauer, Ms.Roth and Mrs.Hinman are setting up courses on Moodle. Mr.Mackeigan is sending us teaching video including PPT and his explanation also. Mr. Brandt is using Teams, an app like We chat, for us to submit our assignments and communication.

老师们通过Moodle、Teams、录制课程视频、PPT讲解等不同的教学平台和授课形式，帮助我们进行在线学习、交流，完成作业。

Q: HOW ARE TEACHERS KEEPING TRACK STUDENTS?

如何追踪学生的学习情况？

A. Teachers are posting introduction videos for students to watch.Teachers are able to know if the students have watched the video and when. This avoid students skipping the videos and missing some details. It makes sure no student is left behind.

According to student Victoria He, “The classes are a little hard but I can manage my own time and make my own study schedule. I have actually improved my study efficiency.” On the other hand, Max Ruan said, “I was struggled with these online courses, I can’t learn stuff on those teaching videos. What we have is only homework and readings.”

As for me, studying online has developed my ability of self-learning. Since teachers are not beside me, I’m forced to think on my own, without asking teachers directly.

I hope we can get over the virus together soon, though, and get back to our beautiful campus.

communication.

By Zoey Wang

老师们发布授课视频供学生观看，并且能够知道学生是否观看了视频以及何时观看。这样可以避免学生跳过视频或者遗漏一些细节，确保没有学生落下功课。

Victoria He说：“在线课程有一点儿难，但我可以自己安排时间，制定自己的学习计划。”而Max Ruan的体会是："我一直在努力学习这些在线课程，只有家庭作业和阅读资料, 我无法在这些教学视频上学习。”

对我来说，网上学习提高了我的自学能力。因为老师不在我身边使得我有更多的机会独立思考。

不过，我希望能很快消灭病毒，回到我们美丽的校园。

04 Staying Healthy and Happy

健康防护小贴士

给孩子和家长们的居家建议：

1.Create a Daily Routine: Create a calm environment in your home by creating a daily routine that involves, enough sleep, healthy meals, and movement. It is important to set a time to wake up in the morning and start one’s day as if one did have to leave the house.

建立日常生活规范：在家中创建一个平静的环境，包括充足的睡眠、健康的饮食和适当的运动。设定一个时间，就像我们每天出门上班上学时一样，早上按时起床，开始新的一天。

2.Stay Positive: Remember to keep calm. Having calm, panic- free discussions can ease emotions around these changes.Take time to acknowledge your own feelings and worries by journaling or talking with friends.

保持积极的心态：记住要保持沉着淡定。冷静、无恐慌的讨论可以缓解疫情带来的不好情绪。花点时间，通过写日记或与朋友交谈的方式来了解自己的感受或担忧。

3.Stick to the facts: Look at the facts. Discuss that not everything they hear or see is real. Let them know that QAIS and AWS is doing everything we can, and you are up to date on current information. It can also be comforting to be reminded that doctors around the world are looking for ways to address the coronavirus and highlight positive news as well.

坚持客观事实：关注事实，我们听到或看到的一切并一定都是真实的。白珊·安妮高中正在尽我们所能提供及时的最新信息。全世界的医生都在寻找应对新冠状病毒的治疗方法，并提倡大家关注真实、积极的消息，这也会让人感到欣慰。

4.Consider Reducing Media Consumption: When looking online, consider the source and fact-check to prevent fake news, and think before you share. Be mindful of how much media you are checking and minimize how often you are reading stories. Try to keep a healthy balance (both online and offline).

减少媒体消费：在网上查找信息时，要考虑新闻来源和核实事实，防止虚假传播，并在分享前进行思考。注意你查看的媒体数量，尽量减少在线浏览的频率。试着在日常生活和生活方式中保持健康的平衡（在线和离线）。

5.Eliminate stigma: It is important to be aware of how the coronavirus is explained to your children to avoid any person/group being blamed. Communicate to your children that if someone has a fever or cough it does not mean this person has the coronavirus.

消除歧视和偏见：知道如何更好地向孩子解释冠状病毒，以避免任何人/群体受到指责。告诉你的孩子，如果有人发烧或咳嗽，并不意味着这个人就是冠状病毒病人。

关爱家人从小事做起

6.Boost Your Coping Strategies: When anyone has change or uncertainty this can create some levels of worry or anxiety. When this occurs, it is important to use positive coping strategies to manage those emotions. Coping strategies can include: positive self-talk, discussing hardships you have lived through in the past, singing, dancing, reading, drawing, music, Netflix/movies, create a gratitude list, meditation, yoga, coloring, exercise, cooking/ baking, talking to a friend or family member, or doing other activities that are fun or give you joy and make you feel good.

改善应对问题的策略：当情况发生时，使用积极的应对策略来管理不良情绪是很重要的。不管怎样，重要的是要实践积极的策略，冷静下来，或改变思维方式，改善我们的看法和整体的幸福感。应对策略可以包括：积极的自我对话、讨论你过去经历的困难、唱歌、跳舞、阅读、绘画、音乐、电影、制作感恩清单、冥想、瑜伽、上色、运动、烹饪/烘焙、与朋友或家人交谈，或者做其他有趣的，能给你带来快乐并让你感觉良好的活动。

7.Set Goals - This can be an excellent time to learn something new that you haven’t had time to learn. Set a goal and list daily steps to reach that goal within your 14-day quarantined period. Feeling accomplished can be an excellent remedy to anxiety.

设定目标：充分利用这段时间，去学习一些之前没有时间去学习的新技能。设定一个目标，列出在14天隔离期内达到该目标的每日步骤。成就感是消除焦虑的很好的方法。

If you find that additional support is needed, please reach out to our school guidance counselor, Emily Hinman, or your child’s teacher who can refer you to online counseling resources.

如果您需要更多的帮助和支持，请联系心理指导顾问Emily Hinman老师或其他老师，他们可以为您提供在线咨询指导。
