03、家校沟通：家长咖啡日

  本次家长咖啡日的主要内容是，与家长讨论现代技术在教育中的应用。首先中学部Paul校长向各位家长介绍了什么是BYOL(Bring Your Own Laptop)，实施BYOL便于学生查询学习相关资料、提高他们的查找技能，有助于他们以后更好的适应信息化社会。对于家长的一些疑问，例如：是否自带笔记本电脑会影响到孩子的学习?课堂中孩子们使用电脑的频率是怎样的?会不会减少老师与孩子的面对面教育等? Dan校、Paul校、Mark校和Ken Brady老师对此一一解答。他们表示电脑不能替代老师，只是作为教学工具之一，在课堂上的使用时间最多只占教学时长的30%，学校会使用过滤器过滤掉无用信息、广告等，同时家长也有权选择不参加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)分享会

本周，君诚学校迎来了一位老朋友——周惠怡同学。周惠怡现在在美国加州的老牌公立高中Torrey Pines High School(该校位列加州2000多所公立高中前十，圣地亚哥地区第二)学习，她之前6-8年级都在君诚上学，这次趁着假期回到君诚，就是专程和同学们分享自己的心得体会。周惠怡首先介绍了自己和现在所在TPHS的学术、活动、课程、环境等。同时也告诉大家，通过在君诚的努力学习使她顺利进入美高。她表示君诚在MAP测试、英文阅读、数学课和课外活动等方面对她衔接美高课程的帮助很大，鼓励同学们能多参与自己感兴趣的比赛和活动，多学习，拓展视野、认识更多的人。最后在自由提问环节周惠怡也对同学们提出的疑问一一做了回答。

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.

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、中学化学俱乐部：怎样用牛奶制作胶水

在化学实验室里，孙老师带领学生运用生活中常见的一些材料，如：醋、小苏打、脱脂牛奶等来制作胶水。首先，我们需要将醋倒入牛奶中混合搅拌，然后加热，接下来用纱布过滤混合物，再往里加入小苏打和少量水，使其充分搅拌融合，这样胶水就完成了。 在整个实验过程中会培养到学生以下几个方面：1、 学习正确、安全的进行操作。2、 培养他们的观察能力，如：观察物质状态的改变、颜色的变化、气体生成等。3、 培养学生的探究能力，如：是什么影响过滤速度?如何更快的过滤?如何判断反应用量?如何做出更粘的胶水等?4、 理解原理，即实验操作的每一步目的是什么?最后同学们会对胶水的粘性进行测量，通过实验，引起兴趣，体会化学反应的奇妙。

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.
