G1教室里藏着大惊喜：会旅行的考拉、跨学科城堡、英文原版阅读和成长的小秘密

教室后方展示着孩子们亲手制作的城堡和楼房，这可不只是美术课的成果！在测量高度时，他们运用了数学课上的“非标准单位测量”；在设计外观时，融入了对“社区”的理解；在搭建结构时，又结合了科学课的“稳定性”概念。OCIS一直倡导的跨学科学习正是孩子们活学活用的最佳体现。  

At the back of the classroom, you’ll find castles and buildings crafted by the children themselves—and these aren’t just art projects! While measuring heights, they applied math skills like "non-standard unit measurement." When designing the exteriors, they incorporated their understanding of "community," and while constructing, they experimented with the science concept of "stability." This hands-on work perfectly reflects the interdisciplinary learning approach championed at OCIS. 

教室里最特别的成员是一只毛茸茸的小考拉——Kenny！它不仅是孩子们的好朋友，更是一位“环球旅行家”。假期里，Kenny会跟随不同的同学去旅行，而孩子们则用照片、绘画和简单的日记记录下它的冒险。这些记录不仅是语言表达的练习，更是“反思技能（Reflection Skills）”的培养——孩子们在分享中学会观察、思考和表达自己。  

The most special member of the classroom is a fluffy little koala—Kenny! Not only is he the children’s good friend, but he’s also a "global traveler." During holidays, Kenny accompanies different students on their adventures, and the children document his journeys with photos, drawings, and simple diary entries. These records aren’t just language exercises; they also cultivate "Reflection Skills"—helping children observe, think critically, and express their experiences.

教室一隅的阅读角总是最受欢迎的地方。书架上摆满了适合低年级阅读的英文原版绘本，从Eric Carle的经典作品到最新的自然科学读物，孩子们可以随时开启阅读冒险。老师会定期根据探究主题更新书目，让阅读与课程自然衔接。当孩子们围坐在豆袋沙发上共读时，他们不仅在学语言，更在培养探究世界的视角。  

The reading nook in the classroom is always a favorite spot. Shelves are filled with English original picture books suitable for lower primary, from Eric Carle’s classics to the latest nature science reads. Here, children can dive into reading adventures anytime. Teachers regularly update the book selection based on inquiry themes, seamlessly connecting reading with the curriculum. As children gather on beanbag chairs for shared reading, they’re not just learning language—they’re developing a broader perspective on the world.  

黑板上的奖励磁贴记录着每个孩子的高光时刻：积极回答问题、独立整理物品、勇敢尝试新事物、帮助同学解决困难...这些看似简单的举动，正是培养“积极贡献者(Caring Contributors)”的具体实践。在OCIS，“我们不一样，但我们都很棒！”

The reward magnets on the blackboard highlight each child’s shining moments: actively answering questions, tidying up independently, bravely trying new things, or helping classmates solve problems. These seemingly small actions are practical steps in nurturing "Caring Contributors." At OCIS, "We are different, but we are all amazing!"
