Dear Baishan AWS Parents and Students,
We are finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. We are really happy to know we will be welcoming back our Grade 9 students next Monday, May 11th.
The requirements that needed to be fulfilled to re-start school have been complex and in great detail.Therefore, the first few days back will be slower process of learning new routines, and getting students back into being together at school. We hope that the students will be able to re-adjust quickly.
We will then work on our planning to see where the greatest focus of teaching and learning will be for the next few months. We will make a time to meet with each family to individually review this plan together once we have the data in place to review our planning. Based on this data, will establish a schedule of extended coursework to help students have the time and attention to compensate for the time away from school.
As many of you know, I am still unable to return to China due to the health restrictions placed on travel from outside China. During this time, our administrative team from both Baishan and QAIS will be available to offer any additional support needed to our staff and students. I will be in daily contact with our staff, and our administrative team.

尊敬的白珊·安妮高中的家长和学生们:
我们终于在隧道的尽头看到了曙光。我们很高兴下周一,5月11日,我们九年级的学生就可以返校上课了。
学生返校开学所需满足的要求非常复杂和详细,因此,在学生们返校的前几天,将会有一个学习新的秩序以及让学生们在学校重新融洽相处的缓慢过程。我们希望学生们能很快地重新适应学校生活。
接下来,我们会制定计划,明确在接下来几个月的教学重点。在明确每个学生的学习计划后,我们会抽出时间与每个家庭会面,一起来审查这个学习计划。根据我们统计的数据,我们会建立一个扩展课程表,帮助学生抽时间和精力来弥补不在学校上课所欠缺的内容。
正如您们中的许多人所知,由于从境外返回中国的健康审查和旅行限制,目前我仍然无法返回中国。在此期间,白珊学校和美亚国际学校的行政团队将为我们的员工和学生提供所需的任何支持。我将与我们的员工和管理团队随时保持日常联系。
谨致问候
罗伯特·茵曼
白珊·安妮高中项目主任
Art with Mr. Brandt
In the spirit of being about to enjoy being outside, the Visual Art students have continued their investigations of famous environmental artists from around the world. They research Nils Udo, who is known for using natural trees, leaves, and rocks to create artwork within nature. Students were challenged to enjoy the Spring weather and explore their communities by finding natural material that could be arranged into an engaging design.
Next week’s artist is Andy Goldsworthy. All students are encourage to accept the challenge of creating their own environmental artworks using material in their community or neighborhood.
在视觉艺术课上,依照让学生们享受户外生活的精神,我们继续对来自世界各地的著名环境艺术家进行调查研究。学生们对Nils Udo进行了研究,他以使用天然树木、树叶和岩石在自然中创作艺术品而闻名。学生们被要求享受春天的天气,并通过探索他们周围的环境来寻找自然材料,并利用这些材料进行引人入胜的设计创作。
下周学生们将对艺术家Andy Goldsworthy进行研究学习。鼓励所有学生接受挑战,利用周围的环境来寻找材料,并创作自己的环境艺术作品。

US History and World Geography with Mr. Brauer
In World Geography, we've got the basic concepts and vocabulary of migration down, so we're using them to analyze two case studies. First up? Right here! China has experienced the largest rural-to-urban migration in the world. We're looking at how the government has managed it, and how it has affected both rural and urban parts of the country.
在世界地理课上,学生们已经掌握了有关移民的基本概念和词汇,因此我们将用它们来分析两个案例。从哪里开始?就在这里!中国经历了世界上最大的从农村到城市的迁徙。我们正在研究政府是如何进行管理的,以及它对农村和城市地区的影响。
In US history, a brutal four-year war has ended. 620,000 are dead. The President has been assassinated. And the task at hand? Come together again as a unified country, and make sure that all the newly-freed American Americans aren't exploited. We're studying what happened next.
在美国历史课上,我们完成了对一场残酷的四年战争的学习。62万人死亡,总统被暗杀。当务之急该怎么做?作为一个统一的国家,民众再次团结起来,确保所有新获得自由的美国公民不受剥削。我们正在研究接下来发生了什么。
Math and Science with Mr. Mackeigan
For geometry, we will conclude our study of areas of figures, finishing up with an in-class assignment on areas of complex figures. Additionally, we will work on our individualized study plans, so that students will know exactly what they need to do in order to catch up.
