7月 21, 2020

期盼已久的暑假终于来临！面对40多天的长假，家长如何帮助孩子渡过一个欢乐、安全而又有意义的假期？如何充分利用这个难得的机会，与孩子融洽相处，做好家庭教育？嘉洋国际学校校长Ryan Griffin在暑期来临之际，带给家长们以下建议——

Dear Parents and Families of Joy International School :
亲爱的嘉洋国际学校的家长们：
As we come to the end of the school year, we are grateful for your participation and support in the lives and education of your children. In many ways this spring semester has been full of challenges and surprises that were outside of our control. Despite this, we have stayed true to our values and have continued to make progress towards providing a meaningful, joyful education for our students.
在本学年即将结束之际，我们感谢您对孩子的生活和教育多方面的参与和支持。本学期，校园里充满了很多意料之外的挑战和惊喜。尽管如此，我们仍然坚持我们的价值观，并在为学生提供有意义、快乐的教育方面不断取得进步。

From the whole community, we wish that you will have a meaningful and joyful summer when your children return home to you. We hope that you remember that the most important teachers in a child’s life is their mother and father. Every activity and communication you share is a chance to guide your child and help them develop their inner personality. We encourage you to be mindful of the ways that you can nurture your children especially during these special summer hours.
我们希望，当您的孩子回到您身边的时候，全家人能一起度过一个有意义并快乐的暑假。我们希望您能记住，孩子一生中最重要的老师是他们的父母。您所分享的每一项活动和交流都是一个引导孩子并帮助他们发展内在个性的机会。我们鼓励您注意培养孩子的方法，特别是在这个特别的暑假里。

We also encourage you to pay attention to safety. In the summer, there is inevitably more freedom for children. It is very important to pay close attention to children especially around bodies of water, vehicles, and other dangerous situations. We want to relay a public reminder to be safe and aware as you try to balance work, play, and life during the next two months. 我们也希望您注意安全。
在夏天，孩子们必然会拥有更多的自由。密切关注孩子是非常重要的事情，尤其是置身于水中、车辆中或者其他较为危险的情况。在接下来的两个月里，您需要在工作、娱乐和生活之间来维持平衡。在这之前，我们想要向大家传递一个关于安全的温馨提醒，希望大家注意安全。

As a parent, one of the most important activities you can do with your child is to sit with them and read books with them. As you are reading, it is good to ask the child questions, listen to their responses, and acknowledge their thoughts and feelings. This is the way to develop a healthy child who will have the internal motivation to succeed as they grow older.
作为父母，您可以和孩子一起做的最重要的事情之一就是坐在他们身边，和他们一起读书。当您在阅读时，最好向孩子提问，倾听他们的回答，并认可他们的想法和感受。这是一个方法，有助于培养一个健康的孩子，让他们在长大后能够拥有通向成功的内在驱动力。

We look forward to seeing you in the next Fall semester and continuing on this journey towards meaningful education and community development. 我们期待着在下一个秋季学期见到您和您的孩子，并将继续这趟有意义的教育之旅，使嘉洋这个温暖的社区能得以持续的发展！
