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。

八月二十五日，大纽约华夏中文学校在Pepsico Park举办了家长读书俱乐部野餐会。在风景秀丽的公园里，大家品尝着各家的厨艺，孩子们在一起尽情玩耍，老人在一起谈天说地，家长们则更多的聚在一起讨论育儿心得，YingHua Language School and YingHua International School创始人廖冰博士， Parents and Children Education (PCE) Club 主席黄敏女士和家长们一起探讨了孩子成长教育中经常遇到的种种问题。兄弟姐妹之间打架怎么办，如何教孩子做家务，孩子不喜欢乐器，何时需要劝导，何时需要顺其自然，团体运动对孩子性格培养到底有多重要，父母们关心的问题林林总总，却又如此相似。在整个下午，人们收获的不但是孩子的笑声，家长的友情，更有子女教育经验的分享。

每周一笑：妙答

老师：“同学们，火箭为什么能上天？谁能回答这个问题。”过了很久没人回答。刚打完瞌睡的小明醒来后站了起来：“老师，这个问题太简单了。”老师感到意外：“那就请你就回答吧！”“老师，你想火箭的屁股都着火了，它能不蹦上天吗？”
