Dear Families/各位家长朋友们,

We had an exciting and event packed month of December.  I would like to take a moment to review this month’s events and preview what’s coming in January. 

我们度过了一个激动人心而又充满盛事的12月，我想花点时间回顾一下这个月的活动，并预告一下一月份的工作安排。

Month in Review/12月回顾:

1.  College Week:  FIFA students in middle school were given an entire week of preparation for University abroad, ending on Dec. 9th.  Teachers incorporated University planning into the content, while speakers from all over the world were invited to present on topics including: Admissions, Careers in technology, Careers in Music and the Arts, Life on Campus when living abroad.  We greatly appreciate the effort that went into planning and delivering this annual event!

大学周：中学生在12月9日结束了一周的大学周活动。教师们将大学规划纳入了课程内容，而来自世界各地的演讲者则被邀请就以下主题进行演讲：大学申请、AI人工智能、音乐和艺术职业、以及大学校园生活。我们非常感谢为策划和举办这一年度活动所付出的努力！

2.  Makerspace Camping:  G6 students attended the first annual camping event at FIFA.  Activities centered around “Makerspaces” where students used everyday materials to create telescopes, electrical Christmas cards, and working catapults.  Students rose to the challenge and were quite successful in their creations.  In addition to activities, students brought their tents and sleeping bags.  They had to erect their tent with parents, then all enjoyed music from the attending band.  Late night events were movies and games.  We had so much fun and hope to make this a yearly tradition.

创客空间帐篷之夜：G6的学生参加了首次年度露营活动。活动围绕“创客空间”展开，学生们利用日常材料制作望远镜、电子圣诞卡和工作弹射器。学生们勇敢地接受了挑战，他们的创作相当成功。除了活动，学生们还带上了帐篷和睡袋。他们父母共同搭起帐篷，欣赏着乐队现场演奏的音乐。深夜的活动是电影和游戏。孩子们玩得很开心，这也将成为我们每年的传统。

3.  Model UN Competition:  Two of our groups made entrance to the final round of the Model UN Conference.  On Saturday, Dec. 19th, the delegates representing New Zealand and Pakistan joined hundreds of other students from 43 countries to engage in lively debate and cooperation.  We are very proud of our students in MUN club and hope to provide them many more opportunities to grow in public speaking.

模拟联合国竞赛：我们的两个小组进入了模拟联合国大会的最后一轮。12月19日星期六，代表新西兰和巴基斯坦的代表与来自43个国家的数百名学生一起进行了热烈的辩论与合作。我们为我们的学生感到骄傲，并希望能为他们提供更多的机会，让他们在公开演讲中成长。

4.  International Dept. Performances:

Students have been hard at work all month preparing for the school-wide and departmental events.  We are excited to be entertained from an array of vocal, instrumental, and dance performances.  

国际部圣诞新年演出：学生们整个月都在努力，为全校和系里的活动做准备。我们很高兴能从一系列的声乐、器乐和舞蹈表演中感受到艺术和学习的魅力。

TIPS FOR PARENTS TO HELP THE SCHOOL:

1.      Please monitor Gradelink to keep track of your child’s grades.  From the Gradelink site you can view homework scores, tests and quizzes, and projects.  Discuss the child’s progress with them and reinforce good homework habits they will need for the future.

2.     Reinforce behavior expectations and social training from home.  Have students model their classroom behavior rules.  Parents can ask students to show them what to do in class if they need to ask a question or go to the restroom.  When students practice and model behaviors, it helps them to remember and follow these rules at school.

家校合作小贴士：

1. 请查看Gradelink以跟踪您孩子的学习表现。从Gradelink，你可以查看到作业完成情况、测验和测验以及项目学习。可以和孩子们讨论学习上的进步，并强化学习习惯养成。

2在家里加强行为期望和社会交往训练。让学生模仿课堂行为规则。如果课堂中有问题或者需要上厕所，家长可以告诉孩子在课堂上应该怎么做。在学校里，学生们要记住并遵守这些规则。
