看见成长的力量——彼一米西湖校区开放日，走进孩子的世界 I Witness the Power of Growth

规则、自理与语言，在爱与欣赏的目光中成长

在彼一米森林托育学院T1海螺班的教室里，弥漫着一种温暖而动人的氛围。家长们不再是平日里催促的角色，而是安静的观察者与幸福的见证人。他们的眼神里，不再是担忧和焦虑，取而代之的是一种全然的欣赏与鼓励。

那眼神，是发自内心的骄傲、温柔与爱意——当看到那个还需要蹲下帮忙的小小人儿，如今能自己放好小书包，尝试着努力穿脱鞋子，或用清晰的短句表达“老师，请帮我”时，家长们的脸上写满了惊喜。他们或捂着嘴轻笑，或眼眶微红，或迫不及待地举起手机记录下这成长的瞬间。

在这种充满信任与肯定的目光中，孩子们仿佛也感受到了巨大的能量：

• 规则能力：在集体活动中，他们更愿意学习等待和轮流，因为知道爸爸妈妈正在一旁，用欣赏的眼光看着自己。

• 自理能力：每一个独立的尝试，都能迎来一道赞许的目光，独立的种子在爱的浇灌下悄然萌芽。

• 语言能力：在丰富的游戏和互动中，孩子们乐于用英文词汇表达需求，因为他们知道，自己的每一次发声，都是父母耳中最动听的乐章。

家长们看到，曾经需要全程呵护的小宝贝，正在成长为独立、自信的小小个体。而最好的教育，不就是看见、欣赏并相信他们吗？

森林日——天地万物都是孩子的课室

K1小班的“森林日”向家长生动地诠释了：学习，从不局限于四面墙壁之内。我们相信，不同的自然场景，是激发孩子感知与思维的最佳场域。

在郁郁葱葱的森林里，孩子们围绕着巨大的彩虹伞，根据指令寻找对应颜色的树叶，或随着伞布的起伏模拟暴风雨中的庇护所。他们在奔跑、欢笑和协作中，自然而然地巩固了对颜色、形状和天气知识的理解。

在宽阔的沙滩上，则是另一番学习景象。孩子们用小手挖掘沟渠，引水筑坝，在实践中理解物理现象；他们在潮湿的沙地上画下字母和数字，将课堂抽象的知识，与真实的触觉、视觉体验深深联结。

这不仅仅是“换个地方玩游戏”。其背后深意在于，我们为孩子提供多元、开放的自然情境，让他们的感官被充分激活。同样的知识点，在不同的环境中被反复应用和验证，从而内化为一种可迁移的、鲜活的能力。我们培养的，是孩子对世界永不停歇的好奇心，以及在任何环境中都能发现、探索并学习的能力。

跨学科课堂——知识在真实情境中融会贯通

在中大班的课堂上，家长们惊叹地发现，学科的界限被打破了，学习以一种浑然天成的方式发生。英语，在这里不再是学习的目的，而是探索世界的工具。

科学，孩子们用英语热烈讨论着蔬菜的沉浮：“The carrot sinks! Why?”——一个简单的游戏，背后是科学探究的萌芽。

数学，他们用统一大小的积木测量桌子的长度，并用图表进行统计，学习如何用数据和英语清晰地呈现自己的发现。

生活，一场关于“野餐”的主题讨论正在上演。孩子们阅读着食品的英文配料表，理解健康与不健康的成分；在烹饪课上，他们学习看量杯上的计量刻度，将数学知识应用于生活实践。

艺术创想，一场关于颜色的团队合作实验正在上演。孩子们以小组为单位，提出假设：“Blue and yellow will make... green?” 然后亲手混合颜料进行验证。这不仅是学习色彩知识的科学过程，更是学习倾听、协商与共同验证的协作课堂。

英文戏剧，孩子们选择自己喜欢的角色进行故事表演。这不仅是语言表达能力的锻炼，更是一次完整的戏剧体验。他们运用语调、表情和肢体语言，将书本上的故事鲜活地呈现出来，在扮演中建立自信，在情境中让英语成为传递情感与故事的自然媒介。

我们如此设计的深意在于：未来世界需要的，不是知识的复读机，而是能够解决复杂问题的思考者和行动者。当孩子为了弄清“为什么黄瓜会浮起来”而主动去阅读、测量、记录和表达时，当他们通过团队实验验证一个色彩猜想时，当他们用戏剧演绎一个故事时，他们所学到的不再是孤立的知识点，而是一张交织着科学思维、数学逻辑、语言能力、艺术审美与协作精神的素养之网。这让他们在未来面对任何未知挑战时，都能调动全方位的能力去理解、沟通并创造性地解决问题。

站在更广阔的世界，迈向国际化道路

开放日当天，我们还常态化为家长呈现了丰富多彩的特色运动课程。这些特色运动课程，不仅拓宽了孩子们的视野，发展了运动能力，更重要的是，让他们站在更广阔的世界，迈向更加国际化的道路。

Rules, Self-Care & Language – Growing in an Atmosphere of Love and Appreciation

In the T1 Conch Classroom, a warm and touching atmosphere filled the air. Parents were no longer in their usual role of giving reminders, but became quiet observers and joyful witnesses. Their eyes no longer held worry or anxiety, but were instead filled with genuine appreciation and encouragement.

Their gazes radiated heartfelt pride, tenderness, and love – when they saw their little ones, who once needed them to bend down and assist, now able to put away their own backpacks, trying hard to put on and take off their shoes, or using clear short phrases to express, "Teacher, please help me," their faces were filled with pleasant surprise. They covered their mouths in tender laughter, their eyes welled up, or they eagerly raised their phones to capture these precious moments of growth.

Bathed in these trusting and affirming gazes, the children seemed to draw immense positive energy:

• Understanding Rules: During group activities, they were more willing to learn to wait and take turns, knowing that Mommy and Daddy were watching them with appreciative eyes.

• Self-Care Skills: Every independent attempt was met with an approving glance; the seeds of independence quietly sprouted, nurtured by love.

• Language Abilities: During varied games and interactions, the children were eager to use English vocabulary to express their needs, knowing that every utterance they made was beautiful music to their parents' ears.

Parents saw that their little ones, who once needed constant care, were blossoming into independent, confident individuals. And isn't the best education precisely about seeing, appreciating, and believing in them?

Forest Day - The Whole World is Our Classroom

The K1 "Forest Day" vividly illustrated to parents that learning is never confined within four walls. We believe that diverse natural environments are the ideal settings to stimulate children's senses and thinking.

Amidst the lush greenery, the children gathered around a giant rainbow parachute, finding leaves matching the colors called out, or simulating finding shelter during a 'storm' as the parachute billowed. Through running, laughter, and collaboration, they naturally reinforced their understanding of colors, shapes, and weather concepts.

On the expansive sandy beach, a different learning scene unfolded. The children used their small hands to dig trenches and build dams to channel water, grasping physical concepts through hands-on experience. They drew letters and numbers in the damp sand, deeply connecting abstract classroom knowledge with real tactile and visual experiences.

This is far more than just "playing games in a different place." The underlying purpose is to provide children with diverse, open-ended natural contexts that fully activate their senses. The same knowledge and concepts are applied and validated repeatedly in different environments, thereby becoming internalized as transferable, living skills. We are nurturing children's endless curiosity about the world and their ability to discover, explore, and learn in any environment.

Interdisciplinary Learning - Knowledge Converges in Authentic Contexts

In the K2 & K3 classrooms, parents were amazed to find subject boundaries blurred, with learning happening in an integrated, organic way. Here, English was not the goal of study, but a tool for exploring the world.

Science: Children eagerly discussed the sinking and floating of vegetables in English: "The carrot sinks! Why?" – a simple game, yet the seed of scientific inquiry.

Mathematics: They used uniformly sized blocks to measure the length of a table and used charts to record their data, learning how to clearly present their findings using numbers and English.

Life Skills: A themed discussion about a "Picnic" was underway. The children **read** English ingredient lists on food packaging, understanding healthy and unhealthy components. In cooking class, they learned to read measurements on a measuring cup, applying mathematical knowledge to real-life practice.

Creative Arts: A collaborative color experiment was in progress. Working in small groups, children proposed hypotheses: "Blue and yellow will make… green?" Then they personally mixed paints to test their predictions. This was not only a scientific process of learning color theory but also a lesson in collaboration – learning to listen, negotiate, and verify ideas together.

English Drama: The children chose their favorite roles for story dramatization. This was not only practice for their language expression skills but also a complete dramatic experience. Using tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language, they brought stories from books to life. Through role-playing, they built confidence, and within the context, English became a natural medium for conveying emotions and narratives.

The profound intention behind our design is this: The future world needs not reciters of facts, but thinkers and doers who can solve complex problems. When children actively read, measure, record, and express to figure out "why the cucumber floats," when they test a color hypothesis through team experimentation, or when they dramatize a story, what they learn are no longer isolated bits of knowledge, but a rich tapestry of competencies interwoven with scientific thinking, mathematical logic, language skills, artistic sensibility, and collaborative spirit. This equips them to understand, communicate, and creatively solve problems using a full range of abilities when facing any unknown challenge in the future.

Broadening Horizons and Stepping onto the Global Stage

During the Open Day, we also regularly presented our diverse Feature Courses. These classes not only broaden the children's horizons and develop their physical abilities but, more importantly, allow them to see a wider world and step onto a more international path.
