为了促进家校的进一步沟通，帮助家长更好地了解学生在学校的课程和教学，真正达到家校携手，共同帮助孩子成长的目标，我校于近期分别举行了小学部家长会和家长开放日活动。

10月9日的家长会由黄莹校长主持，共分为两大议程：首先由卢慧文总校长就学校的总体课程情况为家长进行了介绍，然后小学部主任刘桂香老师就小学部的课程及教学情况和家长进行了沟通。
On October 9th, Principal Sunny Huang, who was the host of the Parents’ Meeting introduced Principal Maxine Lu and Helen Liu, director of primary school to the parents. They had brilliant introductions of the main curriculum of whole school and the primary school.

The parents’ open days of our primary department were on October 15th and 16th. Everyone is looking forward to it. The parents got to know their children’s performance and experienced the growth process of their children by watching their classes. And the children were so excited that they could go to school with their parents. They were trying hard to show their best to the parents.
听！教室传来阵阵清脆的读书声，这是孩子们在用英语朗诵富有节奏的课堂规则。这一首富有韵律的小诗让孩子们受到感染，他们坐姿端正，思想也特别集中。这就是英语的魅力，不是机械的朗读和背诵，而是将好的故事和好的榜样传颂。一首优美的《The Riddle Song》唱出了日常生活中各种各样有趣的谜语。从最开始只有一句话的简单谜语、逐渐过渡到有六句话的长难度谜语，孩子们了解了英语谜语中的押尾韵、学会了从谜面上找线索、最终成功解谜。咱们的孩子个个足智多谋、创意十足，还亲自DIY独具一格的谜语，邀请同学们互相猜谜。
Listen! There is a clear sound of reading coming form the classroom. The children are reciting the class rules rhythmically. They are attracted by the poem, sitting nicely, and they concentrate a lot. This is the charm of English: we don’t read mechanically, but understand it and repeat it based on understanding.
We can learn different kinds of funny riddles by singing the beautiful song ‘The Riddle Song’. During the learning from the simple riddle with only one sentence to the long one with six sentences, the children acquired how to solve the riddle successfully according to the clues they found. The children are so creative and intelligent that they have made their own riddles and they enjoyed a lot guessing each other’s riddles.
阅读、写话、复述和记忆 —— 家长开放日的英语课充满有趣的活动。家长们借此机会观察到了活动中的课堂，目睹了孩子的学习内容：拼写和理解，通过上下文阅读，书写真实的句子，在自主阅读中挑选书籍，自发地为了寻找线索而提问。呈现在家长面前的都是我们ELA外教课日常学习的真实场景。
Reading, writing, re-telling and remembering: open day at SUIS Qingpu was full of interesting English activities! Parents had the opportunity to see classes in-action and with their children as they learned how to spell and decode; read for meaning; write real sentences; pick books for independent reading and structuring questions for clues as to motivation. SUIS parents received the authentic experience of daily learning in our ELA classes!
看！孩子们正感受着浓浓的语文韵味，经历着语文课堂中的“头脑风暴“呢！学做“播音员”，学做“小诗人”，学做“小能手”。一年级的儿歌学习让孩子们动口、动脑、又动手。“做做小导游，介绍黄山奇石”。“做做研究员，画出牛肚子里的旅行图”。“我是大蟋蟀，我来谈谈我的住宅设计”。各年级的语文课堂精彩纷呈，琅琅的书声、渴求的眼神、会心的微笑，编织出了语文课堂上最美的画面。
Look! Our kids are having ‘brain storm’ in the class, experiencing the charm of Chinese. Grade 1 students are chanting beautifully with their mouth, brain, and hands together, which lead them to be a broadcaster, a poet, a good handcrafter. And look! They are pretending to be a little guide by introducing the wonderful sight of Huangshan. They are trying to be a researcher by drawing the trip route inside the cow’s belly. They are pretending to be a large cricket and sharing the house designing. The eagerly eyes, the smiley faces and the pleasant reading voice composed of those wonderful moments in the Chinese classes.
数学课上，低年级的老师凭借自身双语优势，巧妙运用于教学之中，同时充分挖掘学科特点，将活动与思维，观察与思考，自主与合作有机融合，学生不仅学得轻松愉悦，更有了多元的发展。二年级老师带领孩子们从不同方向观察生活中的物体，通过积木方块的拼搭活动，将平面图形用积木还原出立体图形。不仅培养了学生的观察能力和空间想象能力，还学会欣赏数学美，热爱数学美。中高年级的数学课老师们则着力践行自主教学，给学生更多时间分享自己的想法，充分挖掘了学生潜能，活动后有家长反馈，不仅孩子们知识上有所收获，家长们也深深体会到正确学习数学的方法。
As for math lesson, bilingual teachers in Grade 1 designed a lot of classroom activities which encourages our kids to be a good observer and thinker, and combined the individual tasks with co-operational tasks, hence, our kids enjoyed every lesson and also being developed in many ways. Math teachers in Grade 2 guided our kid to observe the objects indifferent angles. Look, they are trying to make 3D graphics with blocks according to the plain graphic, which develops their observing ability and space imaging ability. Teachers in high grades adopted students-centered teaching method, which allowed students to share their own opinions. By engaging and watching such good lessons, our students gained a lot of knowledges, and our parents realized how to learn math effectively.
音乐课上同学们和家长一起成为小小作曲家编创了属于自己的音乐小节，感受到了节奏的魅力。在木琴上寻找着贝多芬的旋律，并进行了双声部的合作！
In music class, students and their parents become the arrangers. They create their own bars of musical tune. They feel the charm of rhythm. They find the melody of Beethoven from the xylophones and co-play the bitonal.
