After school, from 16:15-17:00 our students can participate in Elective Classes. An elective class is a class that allows students to explore specialized areas of need or interest not extensively covered in Core Classes. It also supplements and reinforces Core Classes in specific skill areas that students want or need to strengthen. And finally, it introduces an element of student choice, empowerment, and personalization into the overall academic program.

放学后的16:15-17:00我们的学生可以参加选修课。选修课根据学生的兴趣和需要让学生探索主要课程中没有广泛涉及的领域的课程。它还补充和加强了学生希望或需要加强的特定技能领域的核心课程。最后，在整个学术课程中引入了学生选择、授权和个性化的元素。

During the second semester, an English Montessori Elective Class was offered to the students in Grades 1 and 2. The goal of this Elective Class was to strengthen the students’ basic English understanding which would in turn, further their current learning habits.

在第二学期，一年级和二年级的学生开设了蒙台梭利英语选修课。这门选修课的目的是加强学生对基础英语的理解，进而促进他们目前的学习习惯。

The students in the English Montessori Elective Classes explored basic English concepts to further their understanding and comprehension of the English language. Students were able to explore these concepts through play and hands on experiences, as well as materials, and games that sparked their creativity and interest.

英语蒙台梭利选修课的学生探索基本的英语概念，以进一步了解和理解英语语言。学生们能够通过游戏和实践经验，以及激发他们创造力和兴趣的材料和游戏来探索这些概念。

One such activity was counting. The students practiced counting by 1’s to 100. Then practiced counting by 10’s. They then went outside and practiced writing with chalk on the cement squares outside. Some students, like Raymon, counted and wrote by 10’s all the way to 2,000 and Albert counted and wrote by 1’s all the way to 250.

其中一项活动是计数。学生们练习以1 为单位从1到100的计数。然后练习以10为单位的计数，然后他们走出去，在外面的水泥广场上用粉笔练习写数字。有些学生，如：瑞蒙，以10为单位，数并写到数字2000，阿尔伯特以1为单位，数并写到250。

Another activity was practicing basic alphabet and phonemic sounds. We played an out of order alphabet phonemic game and then students got busy making and rolling out their alphabet letters with clay.

另一项活动是练习最基本的字母和发音。我们玩了一个字母音素游戏，然后学生们忙着用粘土制作和揉出这些字母。

Students also practiced writing lowercase and uppercase alphabet letters that matched the magnetic letters give to them. Students put the out of order letters in alphabetical order. Then, the students used a white board marker to write the letters below the magnetic letters.

学生们还练习写出与给他们的磁铁字母相匹配的小写字母和大写字母。学生们按字母顺序排列无序的字母。然后，学生们用白板笔在磁铁字母下面写下字母。

The students in the English Elective experienced different hands-on activities that supplemented and reinforced what they have learned in their English Classes in Grade One and Grade two through fun and play!

参加英语选修课的同学们体验了不同的实践操作活动，通过有趣的游戏，补充和强化了他们在一年级和二年级英语课上所学的东西！
