Newsletter(08/29/2012-Address Change-Open House…)

校园信息：在众多志愿者的共同努力下，我们很高兴地向大家宣布，华夏大纽约分校已经签约，校址确定为在White Plains High School校园内，地址是550 North Street, White Plains, NY 10605。欢 迎大家在9月1日11:00am-2pm 实地考察(9:00am-11:00am教师培训), 到时您可以参观教室、休息区、GYM (two basketball courts for 篮球、排球、羽毛球）、游泳池、足球场、网球场等设施, 并由任课老师和Admin/PTA团队成员解答您的问题。Open House接受现场注册。我校师生可专用B楼侧门进出，直达家长休息区。HXGNY将使用B楼的全部教室和C楼的部分教室，各楼之间均由室内通道连接，雨雪天气亦通行无虞 （See Map)。

我们仍跟SUNY Purchase保持良好的关系。鉴于其装修工程仍在继续中，根据我们的注册情况已无法提供足够的教室，同时考虑广大家长让交通更便利的呼声，我们启动了备选方案。

教师培训（欢迎家长们参加):  9am-11am

我们的教师培训将于9月1日上午9点开始，我们也欢迎有兴趣的家长观摩我们的教师培训。有不少学《标准中文》的学生到了高年级，由于课文难度提高，加上自身学业负担加重，渐渐感到学习《标准中文》力不从心。有的学生只好选择辍学，为此，我们将在教师培训期间，邀请优秀的中文老师现场讲述他/她们如何搞活课堂教学气氛，调动学生的学习热情。在教师培训期间，还将有教师介绍关于HXGNY高年级（G5-G9)中文课堂教学改革的思路，为高年级中文教师的备课提供参考。主要内容有：（1）在生字/生词的筛选方面如何与HSK4/5接轨；（2）在词汇，语法，和写作练习方面，如何博采《标准中文》，《美洲华语》和《马立平中文》的精华；（3）在泛读方面，如何根据不同年龄孩子的兴趣和特点，引导学生阅读一些中国青少年喜爱的中外系列故事书，等等。总而言之，就是要想尽办法，调动学生的学习热情和提高他们的学习效率。

OPEN HOUSE: 11am – 2pm

校委会和家长会的志愿者会组织参观教室，体育设施。

中文老师解答家长们对于“马立平”，“美洲华语” 和“标准中文”的相关问题。
文体课的老师们介绍这学年开办的文体课如Lego Robotics， Cartoon， Origami， Drawing等。
