　　03、家校溝通：家長咖啡日

 　　本次家長咖啡日的主要內容是，與家長討論現(xiàn)代技術在教育中的應用。首先中學部Paul校長向各位家長介紹了什么是BYOL(Bring Your Own Laptop)，實施BYOL便于學生查詢學習相關資料、提高他們的查找技能，有助于他們以后更好的適應信息化社會。對于家長的一些疑問，例如：是否自帶筆記本電腦會影響到孩子的學習?課堂中孩子們使用電腦的頻率是怎樣的?會不會減少老師與孩子的面對面教育等? Dan校、Paul校、Mark校和Ken Brady老師對此一一解答。他們表示電腦不能替代老師，只是作為教學工具之一，在課堂上的使用時間最多只占教學時長的30%，學校會使用過濾器過濾掉無用信息、廣告等，同時家長也有權選擇不參加BYOL。

　　The main content of this parents coffee day is to discuss with parents the application of modern technology in education. First of all, principal Paul of the middle school introduced to parents what is BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop). The implementation of BYOL makes it easier for students to search and learn relevant materials, improve their search skills, and help them better adapt to the information society in the future. Some questions raised by parents, such as: whether to bring a laptop will affect the child's learning? How often do children use computers in class? Will there beless face-to-face education between teachers and children? Principal Dan, MS principal Paul , ES principal Mark and teacher Ken Brady answered this question one by one. They say computers are not a substitute for teachers, but only ateaching tool that can be used in classes for up to 30 percent of the teaching time. Schools use filters to filter out unwanted information and advertisements, and parents have the right to opt out of BYOL.

　　04、校友周惠怡(Emily)分享會

　　本周，君誠學校迎來了一位老朋友——周惠怡同學。周惠怡現(xiàn)在在美國加州的老牌公立高中Torrey Pines High School(該校位列加州2000多所公立高中前十，圣地亞哥地區(qū)第二)學習，她之前6-8年級都在君誠上學，這次趁著假期回到君誠，就是專程和同學們分享自己的心得體會。周惠怡首先介紹了自己和現(xiàn)在所在TPHS的學術、活動、課程、環(huán)境等。同時也告訴大家，通過在君誠的努力學習使她順利進入美高。她表示君誠在MAP測試、英文閱讀、數(shù)學課和課外活動等方面對她銜接美高課程的幫助很大，鼓勵同學們能多參與自己感興趣的比賽和活動，多學習，拓展視野、認識更多的人。最后在自由提問環(huán)節(jié)周惠怡也對同學們提出的疑問一一做了回答。

　　This week, SIBS welcomed an old friend——Zhou huiyi. Zhou huiyi is now studying at Torrey Pines High School, an old public High School in California (ranked among the top 10 of more than 2000 public High schools in California, and top 2 in the San Diego area). She studied in SIBS from grade 6 to grade 8 and she had been looking forward to come back to SIBS to share her experience with SIBS students during her holiday.

　　Zhou huiyi firstly introduced herself and the academic, activities, courses and environment of TPHS. At the same time,she also told everyone that she smoothly entered into the United States high school because of the hard-working in SIBS . She said that SIBS has helped hera lot in MAP test, English reading, math class and extra curricular activities, encouraging students to participate in more games and activities they are interested in, learn more, expand their horizons and meet more people. At last, Zhou huiyi patiently answered the questions raised by the students.

　　05、中學化學俱樂部：怎樣用牛奶制作膠水

　　在化學實驗室里，孫老師帶領學生運用生活中常見的一些材料，如：醋、小蘇打、脫脂牛奶等來制作膠水。首先，我們需要將醋倒入牛奶中混合攪拌，然后加熱，接下來用紗布過濾混合物，再往里加入小蘇打和少量水，使其充分攪拌融合，這樣膠水就完成了。 在整個實驗過程中會培養(yǎng)到學生以下幾個方面：1、 學習正確、安全的進行操作。2、 培養(yǎng)他們的觀察能力，如：觀察物質狀態(tài)的改變、顏色的變化、氣體生成等。3、 培養(yǎng)學生的探究能力，如：是什么影響過濾速度?如何更快的過濾?如何判斷反應用量?如何做出更粘的膠水等?4、 理解原理，即實驗操作的每一步目的是什么?最后同學們會對膠水的粘性進行測量，通過實驗，引起興趣，體會化學反應的奇妙。

　　In the chemistry lab, teacher Sun led the students to make glue by using common materials in life, such as vinegar, baking soda and skim milk. Firstly, we need to pour the vinegar into the milk and stir it, then heat it up, then filter the mixture with gauze, then add the baking soda and a little water, stir it in, and the glue is done.

　　Students will be cultivated in the following aspects during the whole experiment:

　　1. Learn to operate correctly and safely.

　　2. Cultivate their observation ability, such as observing the change of material state, color change, gas generation,etc.

　　3. Cultivate students' exploration ability, such as: what affects the filtration speed? How to filter faster? How to judge the reaction dosage? How to make more sticky glue and so on?

　　4. What is the purpose of each step of the experimental operation?

　　Finally, students measured the viscosity of the glue, through the experiment, it arouse students’ interests to experience the wonder of chemical reaction.
