謝謝你們的幫忙。
Thank you so much for your effort. This week, I asked the students to correct their quiz on directions and most of them handed back to me within minutes.
你大概從小朋友的口中聽到這兩週在教室發生的一些事。
You might have heard from your kids that a couple of incidents happened in our classroom in the last two weeks. The first incident was that one of the students got into a quarrel with our TA. The second incident happened today when someone pulled the fire alarm in the classroom. Both incidents happened during recess and the school was informed.
第一件事發生時我不在現場。在教室裡我跟班上講，
I was not there to witness the first incident . What I told the class is that as long as we live in a society, there are always going to be disagreement. We will all have bad days. How we handle ourselves is most important. We don’t use our fists to solve problems.
第二件事是我們班上的一位男生在下課時拉警鈴。
The second incident was one of our boys pulled the fire alarm. I have a good discussion with the classroom why no one should touch it unless it’s a real emergency. The class lost a recess and we also disturbed the other 3rd grade class, but luckily, the alarm stopped by itself and did not go further.
發生了這兩件事，我們當然非常遺憾，但這也是好的學習機會。
These two incidents are unfortunate. I treated them as good opportunities for all of us to learn life lesson. Now our students became friends with each other, sometimes it’s hard to concentrate in the class. Sometimes they get each other in trouble. I think it’s norm for the class to become more expressive toward the end of the term. Let’s try to keep the positive energy flowing! Your kids are wonderful.
