我們在在這，這里就是希望，我太想念學校了，想念和同學們一起學習、一起運動、一起演奏…… 我想同學們肯定也和我一樣。

Dr. John’s Letter

校長來信

When I was growing up, my mother taught me a valuable lesson that I have always carried with me. This is something that I have been reminded of lately, as China, the United States, and countries all over the world struggle with the Coronavirus, or COVID 19. The lesson my mother taught - like much of what she taught me - was very simple and wise. When I became unhappy or sad or frustrated about something, preoccupied with the things in my life that were not going well, my mother would always remind me, in a slight Irish brogue, to “Count your blessings!”

在中國、美國及世界各地都積極地投身于抗擊新冠肺炎的戰(zhàn)斗時，我倏然地想起小時候媽媽曾傳授過的一個伴我成長、令我終生受益的小智慧。媽媽的智慧永遠是那么簡單又歷經彌新，在我孩提時代，每當我感到不高興、沮喪，或當工作沒有預想地那么順利時，媽媽總會用她那略帶愛爾蘭腔調的英語在我耳邊小聲說: “感恩惜福!”

This has always served as a constant reminder to me to be grateful for the good things in my life, which really comes down to the good people - family and friends - who always make my life better because they are part of it. It does little good to dwell on the negative things in my life, especially those I cannot change. Though I certainly wish that terrible events - such as the current crisis - were not taking place, it is far healthier to be thankful for the wonders and blessings that surround us. We just need to remind ourselves sometimes to look for those blessings, because it’s easy to lose sight of those blessings when things are not going well.

在人生的不同階段，這份智慧總會提醒我要感恩生活中的點滴美好，尤其要感謝始終陪伴我們的家人和朋友，過度地沉溺于無法改變的事實對我們的生活毫無裨益。我們每個人都希望現在的疫情不會發(fā)生，但是相比這份無意義的空想，大家都應學會感恩，感謝那些無私奉獻、陪伴我們共同戰(zhàn)斗的人們。在逆境中，大家太容易忽視生活的美好，所以我們要時刻提醒自己，常懷感恩之心。

So, I would encourage everyone to take a moment to 'count your blessings’ because this crisis will pass, and we will have made it through a historic crisis that we will always remember. In the end, I would like to share music named ‘Youth’ which has been composed by one of our talented students, Kenny Zhang and a delicate video made by Noah He. I hope everyone will remember the days of our lives at BIPH.

我希望大家都能短暫地放緩腳步，細想自己美好的生活。我們最終會戰(zhàn)勝疫情，而這份經得起歷史考驗的勝利必定是我們共同的精神財富。最后，我想在此和大家分享海龍藝術家Kenny Zhang及Noah He的近期作品，Kenny為大家奉獻了一首充滿希望的樂曲《Youth》，Noah也為抗疫制作了精美視頻。我希望大家在欣賞他們的作品時都能想起自己在BIPH校園珍貴的青春時光!

This break is unexpectedly long and I miss the school so much, I miss all the time I spent with my classmates in studying, exercising and conducting…….all of my friends feel the same way, I wish this song can bring students’ back to school life!

這個“假期”出乎意料地長，我太想念學校了，想念和同學們一起學習、一起運動、一起演奏…… 我想同學們肯定也和我一樣。希望我的這首曲子，能帶同學們一起回到充滿活力的校園時光!

In AP Physics we looked at some examples of angular momentum and rotational inertia. Using a spinning chair and some weights, students can see how changing the rotational inertia of a spinning body cause the angular speed to change as well. These demonstrations are great at helping students see the physics concepts they have learned function in real life. After that, students participated in an AP test-prep activity. Students needed to determine a procedure they could use to calculate the moment of inertia for a random object as it rolls down an inclined plane. Students were able to ask for measurements they needed to perform their calculations, and they successfully generated an experimental procedure that helped them to calculate the inertia of the object. As we prepare for the AP exam, experimental design activities like this one are vital to students’ success on the exam.

最近我們在AP物理課堂中學習了關于角動量和轉動慣量的例子。通過觀察轉椅和重物的物理實驗，學生可以從中掌握旋轉物體的轉動慣量與角速度改變的關系。這些演示有助于大家從生活的角度生動、形象地理解課本里學到的物理概念。實驗后，我們開展了AP備考活動。我要求孩子們設計自己的物理實驗，在實驗中，孩子們需要計算一個隨機物體滾下斜面時的轉動慣量，大家需按計算要求進行物理測量，最后，所有學生都成功地設計出計算物體慣性的實驗。在我們準備AP考試前夕，這樣的實驗設計活動有助于學生們充分備考。

In Algebra 2 this week, we were working on increasing pace while maintaining accuracy. Miss K and her students both worked to complete math questions as fast as they could, and any student who completed a question correctly and faster than Miss K earned a point for their team. The team with the most points at the end of class could skip one homework set this week. Students felt the pressure of working under an uncertain deadline and had to practice typing their answers into the chat box according to guidelines for free response questions. Students were motivated to not only beat their peers but felt extra satisfaction when completing questions faster than their teacher. Increasing their pace is vital to having extra time to check their work and ensuring they are demonstrating their skills clearly on assessments. Congratulations to the students who earned one night off practice, all your hard work certainly is recognized and rewarded! Keep it up!

在本周代數2的學習中，Miss K在提高孩子們解題速度地同時，亦不忘訓練孩子們計算的準確性。Miss K和她的學生同時解答同一道數學題，任何答對問題且比Miss K解題速度快的學生都能為自己的小組贏得一分。每堂課結束后，得分最高的小組可以獲得本周免做作業(yè)的機會。學生們因為要比拼速度，且需快速將自己的答案發(fā)送到直播間，這一系列快節(jié)奏的課堂要求保證了孩子們學習的動力，而且當孩子們能比老師更快地解開數學謎題時，他們會感到非常有成就感。提高同學們的解題速度可以幫助孩子們用節(jié)約下來的時間檢查自己的答案，并且能最大程度保證孩子們在數學測驗中更好地展示自己的數學技巧。恭喜因自己課堂表現優(yōu)異拿到獎勵的孩子們，大家的努力都值得肯定和獎勵，再接再厲!

The Honors Chemistry course helps students understand the world around them by studying matter and the changes it undergoes. The course is designed to prepare students to take AP Chemistry. We are covering chemical reaction units which include Properties of Solutions, Acids and Bases and Stoichiometry. Students will understand the two main sub-branches of Analytical Chemistry Qualitative analysis: The determination of the identity of chemical species present in a sample: what is inside this sample? Quantitative analysis: An examination to determine how much of a particular species is present in a sample. How much of this chemical inside the sample? Quantitative analysis techniques are a very important part of chemistry and involve practical activities. The lab component teaches students how to apply the concepts learned in the course to experimental situations. Interactive online demonstrations are currently shown to help students be familiar with the equipment they will use in performing titrations.

榮譽化學課程通過研究物質及其變化幫助學生了解周圍的世界，該課程的設置是為學生未來順利學習AP化學做準備。最近我們正在學習化學反應，包括溶液性質、酸堿度和化學計量。學生將了解化學定性分析的兩個主要分支，確定樣本中存在的化學物質的特性，即樣本里有什么。定量分析：確定樣品中有多少特定物質，即樣品中有多少此類型的化學物質。定量分析是化學學習及化學實踐中非常重要的計量方法。我們的化學實驗課會幫助學生將所學化學概念應用到化學實驗中，幫助孩子們更好地理解化學知識。最近我正通過互動式在線教學為學生們演示滴定實驗。

One of our school’s educational goals is to help our students become qualified world citizens, which requires our children to be aware of the world and have a sense of their role in it. To become a global citizen, a student has to be creative and proactive. As reported in our previous newsletter, our Fine Arts students took the initiative to create many amazing paintings so as to support our warriors’ fighting against COVID-19, and this time, our students who excel in speech proactively showed their encouraging words and their beliefs in our final victory!

我校秉承培養(yǎng)學生成為合格世界公民的教育宗旨，要求孩子們不僅關心家事、國事，更要主動關心天下事，并積極追尋、定位自己世界公民的角色，這要求孩子們富有創(chuàng)意及具有前瞻精神。在以往的?？?，我們報道了藝術組學生為抗擊新冠疫情創(chuàng)作的多幅精美繪畫作品，本期?？?，我們再次非常驕傲地為大家展示BIPH學生傳遞抗擊疫情必勝的信念

Sing With Love

愛的合唱

Our care and love never stops reaching out to the others who are in need of support. Although China has obtained a phased achievement, COVID-19 outbreaks are spreading speedily in the rest of the world. “Everyone knows enough to understand that COVID-19 will test our capacities to be kind and generous……Our task now is to bring the best of who we are and what we do to [the] world…...” It is the time for us to send our care to the countries and people who are currently struggling and battling with the coronavirus. We know our students always regard our teachers and staff as their role models, so we always want to deliver nothing but positive spirits and kindness. Recently our teachers recorded a video of them singing the song “Imagine” together. Let’s listen together and may we all proceed with wisdom and grace!

我們的愛與關懷如潺潺流水般源源不斷地流向所有需要幫助的人們。盡管中國已取得抗擊新冠肺炎戰(zhàn)“疫”的階段性勝利，但新冠病毒正在世界范圍內迅速擴張。“大家已經意識到COVID-19正在考驗我們與人為善的本能……現在我們需要將自己言行最美好一面展示給這個世界……” 我校老師深諳在危機面前亟需大家將愛與關懷傳遞給所有正在疫情中掙扎、戰(zhàn)斗的人們，小海龍們在老師們這樣身體力行地傳遞積極、和善心態(tài)的環(huán)境下成長，也一定會成長為學會感恩的朝氣少年!下面請隨著我們的視頻一起欣賞我校老師們合唱歌曲Imagine，希望大家在共渡難關之際都能充滿智慧與感恩之心!
