Communication Book

Dear Parents,

We've started to use the communication books daily. I always feel communication between parents, teachers and school is very important. So please do read and sign the books eveyday. Also, do not hesitate to leave me messages on the books if parents want to let me know about anything, such as medicine taking, or wants to know anything from me, such as kids' learning. For school's letters and announcements, I will put them in the book covers also upload a copy on this website. Thank you.

我們已經開始使用聯絡簿了。我一直認為家長,老師,學校之間的溝通非常的重要。爸爸媽媽請每天看聯絡簿並在聯絡簿上簽名。爸爸媽媽也都可以在本子上留言給我, 不管是要交代我幫孩子做什麼 (像吃藥) 或是希望了解學校任何的事物 (像孩子在學校的學習)。學校若有公告或通知單, 我會把他夾在聯絡簿前面的書套裡, 並也會在這個網頁上再寫一遍。謝謝!

with love,
Mandy

Feedback and Answer

Reply to some feedbacks from parents this week.

Question: Are there dust proof bags for children’s beddings?
Answer: Yes, there are. School will order them this week.

Question: When can the children get their communication books?

Answer: The communication books are here and I’ll go buy book covers after work today. We will start to use the communication books tomorrow on Thursday.

Question: Can we have the CD for songs that children learn at school?

Answer: No, sorry.  Songs that I taught the class are my collections from teaching English for many years. There is copyright issue that I can’t copy the CD to children.

Q: 請問睡袋有附防塵套嗎?
A: 有, 我已告知學校, 總務在這周會向廠商訂購。謝謝Jared媽媽的提醒。

Q: 請問哪時候才會有聯絡簿?
A: 聯絡簿已經在今天收到了, 我今天下班會去幫孩子們買書套, 明天星期四會開始使用。

Q: 老師在學校教了很多歌, 孩子回家有唱, 可是都聽不懂孩子到底在唱什麼。是否可以燒一張CD給孩子帶回家?

A: 我在班上教孩子的歌曲其實是我自己教書多年來的收集, 歌曲來自不同的音樂CDs。但因為我現在是何嘉仁的老師, 音樂有版權的問題, 所以無法燒給孩子, 希望家長見諒。

Preparation Week

Dear Parents,

This semester starts in September. This week is the first week of September, it’s also the preparation week. Students will get their school bags, sleeping bags, lunch boxes, indoor shoes, uniforms, name stickers and communication books this week. We will also start our new timetable. There are some changes in the time table.

-    Toy day every Tuesday. Students could bring their own toys from home to school to show, tell and share. Students would take turns to tell about their toys in front of the class. Don’t worry if no toy to bring to school. There are also a lot of toys at school.

-     Outdoor Time every Tuesday morning (2^nd period).  Students would have classes at the outdoor area at the back of our school.  Teachers would take turns to lead activities. Students learn to play with others, work together in all kinds of games.

-     Park Day every Wednesday morning (2^nd period).  We would go to the park on 大龍街 next to the 蘭州 junior high school. Please bring water bottles to school.  Prepare mosquito repellent or sun screen if needed.

-     Birthday Party on the first Thursday every month.

-     Cooking Class every Thursday afternoon.

For more details about our new timetable please join us at the Parents Teachers Meeting this Saturday morning. Thank you.

9月我們進入了新學期, 這周是9月的第一周也是我們的預備周。孩子們會在這周拿到新書包, 睡帶, 午餐盒, 室內鞋, 運動服, 姓名貼和連絡簿。這周我們也開始我們正式學期的時間表。新學期的時間表跟暑期的時間表有些許的不同:

-     玩具日: 每個星期二。孩子可以帶一個自己的玩具或故事書來學校和其他小朋友分享。我也會在課堂上花大約10分鐘的時間讓孩子站在台前像同學們介紹自己的東西。家裡沒有玩具或故事書的孩子不必擔心, 學校也有許多玩具, 孩子都有機會玩。

-     遊戲課: 每個星期二早上第二節課。孩子會在遊戲區上課, 老師會教孩子各式各樣的團體活動或遊戲。訓練孩子一起玩一起分享, 分工合作, 並在各式各樣的活動或競賽中學會有時候輸有時候贏。

-     公園日: 每個星期三早上第二節課。我們去大龍街上的公園玩。請爸爸媽媽為孩子帶可以背的水壺。若想替孩子準備防蚊液或防曬乳液也可以帶來, 我會在去公園前幫孩子擦上。

-     慶生會: 每個月第一個星期四下午。

-     煮飯課: 每個星期四的下午。

若想要了解更多關於學校的消息和更詳細的時間表, 請參加這個星期六早上的家長會。謝謝。

with love,

Teacher Mandy
