01、小学部集会

　　ES Assembly

　　认识学校、认识老师、认识自我、建立规则，是君诚学校开学工作的重中之重。为此，小学部特别举办了两场集会活动(K3-G2和G3-G5)。首先，老师们制作了彩色的海报来介绍自己，同时引导学生们了解自己的性格优势，并赞美鼓励学生。君诚的教育理念是责任(Responsibility)、关爱(Caring)、友善(Kind)、尊重(Respect)、信任(Trust)，这样的标识在校园内随处可见，在集会上，老师们通过游戏的方式，让学生们深刻了解到这些价值观的含义，在日积月累中，形成自己的价值观和世界观。集会最后，老师们还给同学们准备了比赛奖品，鼓励每一个学生充分展现到活动和比赛中来，展现自己。

　　To know the school, know the teachers, know ourselves and establish rules is the top priority of SIBS. Therefore, the elementary school organized two assembly activities (K3-G2 and G3-G5). First, the teachers made colorful posters to introduce themselves, guide the students to understand their character strengths, and celebrate and encourage the students. SIBS’s educational concepts are responsibility, caring, kind, respect and trust, the words can be seen everywhere in campus, during the assembly, teachers organized games to make the students understand the meaning of these values, over a long period accumulation, they can form their own sense of value and world view. At the end of the assembly, the teachers also prepared competition prizes for the students, encouraging each student to fully show themselves in the activities and competitions.

　　02、小学图书馆的升级改造

　　The ES Library transformation has begun

　　君诚一直致力于培养所有学生对于阅读的热爱。阅读不仅仅是一种娱乐，或者是给读者提供信息，阅读能够增强学生英文的拼写和词汇量，使他们感同身受，与作者产生共鸣。为了在君诚的学生中强调这一点，并有深切体会，我们首先从阅读过程中最最关键的学习空间——图书馆开始入手：

　　-所有的书籍已被重新定位并重新贴上标签，以方便学生查阅。

　　-新的布局、地毯、家具和标牌都有助于使我们的图书馆成为一个充满乐趣和令人兴奋的地方。

　　-图书馆迎来了新的专业教师：Anita Claasz，她在澳洲取得了教师图书管理的硕士学位，拥有20多年雄厚的课堂教学经验以及图书馆管理经验，深受学生们的喜爱。

　　SIBS is committed to ensuring that all students foster a love of reading. Reading does more than entertain or give readers information; reading enhances spelling and vocabulary and teaches empathy. To build that within SIBS, we have begun the process of revitalizing the key learning space in the reading process: the library.

　　Books have been relocated and re-labelled for easy student access.

　　New layout, carpet, furniture and signage all assist with making our library a fun and exciting place to be.

　　But we are still under construction. We will keep you informed as we continue to create an inspiring and dynamic space for our students.

　　Yours in reading, Anita Claasz (Teacher Librarian)
