致家长的一封信
Dear Baishan AWS Parents, Students, and Friends,
It is fun to be in China, as you get to celebrate two New Year’s Days! So, on behalf of the entire Baishan AWS Faculty and Staff, I wish you all a Healthy and Happy 2020.
We will be marking the end of our first semester next Friday, January 10th. This is the first grade that will be sent to Annie Wright in Tacoma as part of each student’s final grade calculation for the school year. Remember too that report cards will be sent to families during the week of the 10th of February.
And finally, remember that we will have teacher or parent requested conferences next Friday, January 10th. If you still want to speak with a teacher, please feel free to speak with the school’s office to set the time. And don’t forget, we are always ready to answer any question you may have, no matter what time of the year it is.
We had a meeting today with all the students to learn more about the World Scholar’s Cup, we hope to build a team working with students from Baishan and QAIS. We will be communicating more about this event in the weeks to come.
Last, but not least, we wish our grade 10 student, Zoey Wang, a great trip and an exciting time during her participation in a young women’s leadership seminar in Hawaii, USA. We are looking forward to hearing more about what she has learned upon her return.
Enjoy the weekend,
Robert Hinman
Director

Academic Highlight
学术聚焦
English with Ms. Roth 英语课堂
We've come to the end of the first semester! Tenth grade is finishing up by revising their comparative analyses of two poems. We will start next semester with the novel Pay It Forward, by Catherine Ryan Hyde. The big question we will consider is whether one young person can make a difference in the world. This unit is in collaboration with tenth grade math and their unit covering exponential functions.
第一学期即将结束，十年级的英语文学课上，学生们即将完成他们对两首诗的比较分析。下学期我们开始学习Catherine Ryan Hyde的小说Pay It Forward，讨论的一个大问题是，一个年轻人能否改变世界。本单元还会涉及到数学课上学到的与指数相关的一些知识。
Ninth grade has been engaged in an intensive review of how English sentences work and will end the semester by writing some very good paragraphs. Next semester, we will turn our attention to the concept of empathy in narrative storytelling. Why do we experience emotions when reading about people who aren't real?
九年级的英语文学课，学生们一直在认真复习英语句子的使用方法，并将在学期末写一些非常好的文章段落。下学期，我们将把重点转向叙事故事中的移情概念——当我们读到那些不真实的人物时，为什么我们会有同感？
The Art students have been completing their preliminary studies of Wassily Kandinsky, color theory, and composition.
While the 10th grade Art students have also been applying some of the symbols the they have learned in Algebra 2, the 9th graders are exploring various techniques.These students will begin their final,large watercolor next week.
艺术课上，学生们完成了对Wassily Kandinsky色彩理论和构图的初步研究。十年级学生把他们在代数2中所学的一些符号应用到了绘画作品中，九年级学生们正在探索各种各样的绘画技巧。学生们下周将开始他们本学期最后一幅大型水彩画。
Humanities with Ms. Brauer 人文科学
The 9th graders finished their Midterm Test in World Geography this week! I'm returning their climate change essays on Friday with comments and suggestions. They'll be able to work on these
essays again this weekend, and submit a second draft to me by Monday.
世界地理课上，九年级的学生本周完成了期终考试。周五我会把他们关于气候变化的论文连同我的评语和建议一起交给他们。本周末他们可以将这些文章进行再次修改，并在下周一提交第二稿。
This has also been exam week in US History: their chance to show me what they know! Also, I will only accept essay revisions through Tuesday, so I strongly recommend the 10th graders spend some time this weekend working on their essays to resubmit by then.
十年级的美国历史课，本周也是考试周。这是学生们向我展示他们的学习成果的机会！另外，我只接受下星期二之前的论文修改，所以我强烈建议十年级的学生在这个周末花些时间来认真修改他们的论文，然后再重新提交。
Math with Mrs. Hinman 数学
In Algebra II students are finishing their study of radical functions. Students should be able to share their Kandinsky inspired paintings here shortly. Next week, students will review linear functions, systems of equations, quadratics, polynomial and radical functions in preparation for a semester midterm.
代数II的课上，学生们正在完成对根函数的学习，他们很快就能在课上分享他们创作的Kandinsky灵感画了。下周学生们将复习线性函数、方程组、二次函数、多项式和根函数，为期终考试做准备。

On 5th January, Zoey Wang, one of our students has arrived in Hawaii,to take part in a young women’s leadership seminar in USA. We should be proud of her courage and willingness to take risks and try something new! We wish Zoey a great trip and an exciting time during her participation in Hawaii.
