东华文泽学校的在线课程对每一位来说,绝对是个正面的全新体验。刚开始时,一年级生要适应在线学习的新流程是挺困难的。幸运的是,我们大部分的学生已经很快适应了在线课堂,带着责任感和决心去完成不同的功课和任务。
TWIS Virtual School has definitely been a new positive experience for everyone. In the beginning, it was quite challenging for first graders to get used to the new routine that is inherent in online learning. Fortunately, most of our students have adapted very well to our online class routine and tackle their assigned tasks with responsibility and determination.
在线上课堂开始之时,我们正展开了新的探究学习单元(UOI):《我们如何组织自己》。在这跨学科单元中,我们在学习社区中的不同角色,以及他们的责任和社区的组织方式。孩子们开始思考如何当个好帮手和为社区做好事。他们认识什么是公民,学会如何待在家里的同时帮助自己的社区。对一年级生来说,他们最珍惜和重视的社区就是自己的家了,所以他们提交了一些画和视频来表达他们如何在家帮忙的想法。留在家中的好处是让学生可以仔细观察家人和学校的成员如何共同维护一个幸福而有组织的社区。
With the beginning of our virtual school, we started our new Unit of Inquiry (UOI): How We Organize Ourselves. In this unit, we are learning about different roles of people in the community, their responsibilities and how communities are organized. The children started their inquiry by reflecting on how they can be good helpers and perform good deeds to their community. They learned what it means to be a citizen and help their community while they have to remain at home. The grade one class submitted drawings and videos of their ideas helping at home which is their most precious community. One positive result of staying at home has helped our students observe and recognize how everyone in their family and members of their school community work together to maintain a happy and organized community.

G1 Students Helping At Home
动手活动有助于学生学习。在过去几周,他们利用算术技巧进行了研究。他们计算并把学校的所有社区成员的数据以柱图来展示。
Children learn best when doing hands-on activities. In these past weeks, they have had the opportunity to conduct research as they use their mathematical skills. They tallied and transferred their data on a bar graph that reflected all the community members of their own school.
学生在网上学习期间完成了各项充满意义的任务。在了解从事不同职业的人之前,他们先在家里对父母的工作做个深入的研究。他们访问了父母的工作情况,并根据收集的数据绘图了非常详细的作品。在学习为我们服务的人的过程中,他们似乎很喜欢这些生动有趣的活动。他们通过估算每位社会角色能服务多少人,学会了取整算数。
Students engaged in completing very meaningful tasks during their online learning. Before exploring the community helpers’ roles in the community, they made thorough research at home about their parent’s work. They interviewed their parents about their jobs and made detailed drawings based on the data they had collected. Students seem to enjoy engaging activities as they learn about community helpers. They learned how to round numbers up and down by estimating the number of people each community helper can cater to every day.
一年级生画的海报
Posters Created by G1 Students
网络课堂同时让孩子们以自己的速度学习公共演讲的技能。他们能够透过屏幕中看到自己,这是个很有价值的学习过程,因为他们观看自己做汇报的视频后会反思自己的表现。学生们也以自己研究的一种职业制作了漂亮的海报,还有一条短视频来展示他们的探索结果。一年级的小艺术家们在他们的社区中扮演着他们所选择的角色,并精心挑选了他们的好邻居。
Online school has allowed children to work on their public speaking skills at their own pace. They are able to look at themselves through a screen and this makes their work more valuable since they get the opportunity to reflect on their performance after watching their own presentation videos. They created wonderful posters about the role they researched and presented their inquiry by making a short video. Grade one little artists drew their chosen role in their community and meticulously chose good neighbors to have in their community.

在过去的一个月里,孩子们已经习惯了他们的在线课程。他们已经变得很独立,并学会了使用很多科技作为学习工具。他们已经学会使用一些帮助他们在课堂上参与的操作,比如在他们不说话的时候关掉他们的音频,轮流说话。一些学生还非常有创意,已经会在聊天框上使用简单的单词和表情符号打字。作为班主任,看着他们在网上互相交流十分有趣。有时我会像一个神秘顾客一样上网,为了看他们分享自己家里珍藏的玩具和物品,甚至在展示自己在课堂上画的一些图画时互相大笑。当我们的单元学习接近尾声时,孩子们正在准备他们的总结性评估。在我们出色的艺术老师Wendy和音乐老师Sharon的帮助下,孩子们正在筹备一个精彩的翻唱歌曲视频,在视频中他们会选择一种职业来扮演。他们正努力地学习押韵写歌词,并将会唱出他们的作品,和为社区制作一个精彩的视频。
In the last month, the children are now used to their online courses. They have become so independent and learned a great deal using technology as a learning tool. They have learned some tech features that help them participate better during the class, like muting their audio when they are not speaking, taking turns to talk, and some of them have been very creative and started typing using simple words and emoticons on the Chat Box. As a homeroom teacher, I find fascinating to watch them interact with each other online. Sometimes I would go online like a secret shopper only to watch them sharing nice toys and objects from their own homes and even laughing with each other as they show some of their drawings done in class. As our unit draws to a close, the children are now preparing for their summative assessment. With the help of our wonderful art and music teachers, Ms. Wendy and Ms. Sharon, the children are now preparing a wonderful cover song video in which they have chosen a community helper to represent. They are working on their lyrics using rhyming words now and are going to record themselves singing in a wonderful video for the community.
在我们一起经历这么美好的线上学习体验时,我明白这段时间是焦虑不安的,不仅是孩子,还有老师和家长。身为家长,我确实感受到比平时更需要帮助我孩子的压力。因此,我衷心感谢我们班的家长们对孩子学习的支持。另一方面,这段艰难的时期提供了一个难得的机会学习科技。我们的一年级学生变得很会精通科技,比世界上其他国家的同龄人领先得多。他们正成为世界公民,并充分利用在学习道路上遇到的每一个学习机会。我们为一年级的学生在这艰难的时刻取得成果感到骄傲。
While we are having amazing learning experience online, I understand it has been an uneasy time for everyone, not only children but teachers and parents as well. As a parent myself I definitely experience the pressure to help my child more than usual. Therefore, I truly thank the parents in our class for supporting their children's learning. On the other hand, this tough time presented a unique technology learning opportunity. Our first graders have become very ‘tech-savvy’ - far more advanced than their peers in other countries around the world. They are becoming citizens of the world and are making the best out of every learning opportunity that comes across on their learning path. We are very proud of what our Grade 1 students have accomplished in this trying moment.
