【阅读月】让阅读陪伴成长,让书香浸润童年




The American Center for Public Education states, “Reading is the Open Sesame for acquiring knowledge: learn to read, and you can read to learn just about anything.” Children begin the process of learning to read long before entering school as they acquire vocabulary and background knowledge. But when they enter school, it is not long before they can and must use reading skills and strategies to learn all about the world around them in every subject and content area. People of all ages who read fluently are more likely to read independently, and the benefits of reading independently extend far beyond academic success.
美国公共教育中心指出,“阅读是获取知识的敲门砖:学会阅读,你可以通过阅读学到任何知识。” 孩子们在上学前,在他们掌握一定的词汇和背景知识的同时就已经开始学习如何阅读了。当他们上学后不久,他们就可以在相应的学科和内容领域使用阅读技巧和策略来认识他们周围的世界。各个年龄段的人,读得流利的更容易独立阅读,独立阅读的好处远远超越学业成功。





读一本好书
During the month of March we hosted a variety of activities that encourage reading both in the classroom and at home. On Friday, March 5 the Joy International Primary School conducted their first Reading Awareness Friday. On this Friday, our students learned about the American Author Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss is an author whose real name is Theodor Seuss Geisel. He wrote and released an amazing 46 books for kids! His books contain bright, fun pictures, whimsical themes, silly rhymes, and made-up words. Here are a few of his books that I’m sure you’ll recognize. A few of these books have even been made into movies!
在三月份,我们举办了各种各样的活动,鼓励在教室和家里阅读。星期五,3月5日,嘉洋国际小学进行了他们的第一次阅读意识星期五活动。周五那天,我们的学生了解了美国作家苏斯博士——作家苏斯博士的真名是西奥多·苏斯·盖泽尔,他为孩子们写了46本精彩的书!他的书中有明亮有趣的图画、异想天开的主题、有趣的儿歌和杜撰的文字。这里有几本他的书,我相信你们都认识,其中一些书甚至被拍成了电影!




After our friends learned about who Dr. Seuss was, they read the story “Green Eggs and Ham” in English and/or Chinese. This book is a silly book about eating green eggs and ham. After reading the book, each classroom had a task: Find the 8 green eggs hiding outside! This activity used our 5Cs collaboration and critical thinking because the students needed to collaborate together and think of new places and positions the eggs could be. They collaborated together in their class units to find the eggs! All of the classrooms were successful in finding the eggs across the Joy Campus.
在我们的朋友们知道了谁是苏斯博士之后,他们读了中英文故事“绿鸡蛋和火腿”。这本书是一本关于吃绿鸡蛋和火腿的有趣的书。读完这本书,每个教室都有一个任务:找到藏在外面的8个绿鸡蛋!这项活动用到了我们的5C品格中的协作能力和批判性思维,因为学生们需要一起协作,思考可能藏得地方。他们合作寻找鸡蛋!所有的班级都成功地在嘉洋校园里找到了鸡蛋。










折一纸书签
The second Reading Awareness Friday took place on March 12. On this day the students used their creativity to create an origami book mark. These book marks used several steps that the students followed. Then the students added a face to make it an animal!
第二次阅读意识星期五活动在3月12日举行。在这一天,学生们用他们的创造力制作了一个个折纸书签。学生们先遵循制作的步骤,然后给半成品书签加上了动物的五官最终制成动物书签!
All throughout the month of March the students were also given a task to read as many books as they could at home. After they read books they were to record the books that they read. Our students participated in a friendly competition; what grade level can read the most books? At the end of the month the book lists were taken and tallied. Grade One read the most with a grand total of 190 books!
学生们的阅读任务是整个三月在家里尽可能多地阅读书籍。他们看完书后要把所读的书记录下来,以善意的方式竞争,看哪个年级的学生能读最多的书?到了月底,统计学生们的读书记录卡,最终一年级以190本书的结果获胜。










做一顿披萨
The students in Grade One got to celebrate their success, hard work, and determination in reading with a Pizza Party. The students created their own pizza starting with rolling out the dough, adding the sauce, the vegetables, the meat, and the cheese, before baking the pizza.
一年级的学生以举办比萨饼派的形式庆祝他们的成功、努力和阅读的决心。学生们自己动手制作比萨,先擀面团,再加入调味汁、蔬菜、肉和奶酪,然后烘烤比萨。










Our students were reading more and also having fun participating in reading themed events. They build 5C Skills through using creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. What a fun Reading Awareness month!
我们的学生在这次阅读主题活动中,阅读了更多的书并且玩的很开心。他们通过使用创造力,批判性思维和合作的方式培养5C技能。这真是 一次有趣的阅读意识培养月活动!
