周记全文 - 瓜子儿的幸福生活

本周杰夫老师给瓜子儿的 special notes，大恐龙说是过去一年中，我们从学校收到的最好的一份。我颔首表示同意。附简略点评。

One of Sydney's areas of strength is verbal communication. In both English and Chinese, she can express herself in great detail.
—— 用白话形容： Y 就擅长掰开了揉碎了地嘚啵嘚。这习性我们都了解。

Another area that stands out in a positive way for Sydney is her interpersonal communication. She is kind to everyone and plays fair. These two things make her a popular partner with her classmates.
Sydney has a special gift of looking out for those children who are sad and then providing them with comfort. I see this especially in relation to Harald. This is something that can't really be taught, it just comes from the heart.
—— 看杰夫老师对瓜子儿种种美德的描述，正得意洋洋地暗喜：Sydney的家长是多么懂得教育的一对呀 ... 紧接着就看见杰夫说这品质不是教出来的 ... 那母们的言行举止总还是有些影响的吧，555。文中提到的哈罗德和瓜子儿一起混两年半了，曾经的问题少年，瓜子儿以前经常被他揪头发、推跟头什么的，是瓜子儿最后选择一起玩的一个玩伴。现在俩人都长大了哈。

Since the beginning of school, we have tested each of the children on letter and number identification. This gives us the necessary information to best meet each child's individual, academic needs during each and every lesson and activity.
Sydney knows the names of all of the upper and lower case letters. She also knows half of the letter sounds. We will continue working on learning all of the letter sounds concentrating especially on the vowels.
As Sydney shows she has a sight word vocabulary, so we will start her in the "Bob Books."
We will also be using some basic phonics readers and trying to balance out these books with some others that have more of a literature base.
—— 这两天Y一回家就玩leapster的认字游戏，中英文换着来，疑似在偷偷自学。

Sydney can identify the numbers 1-30 (she is a little unsure of 13, 15, and 18).
We will begin skip counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. We will also be working with the concepts of addition and subtraction.
—— 老师还没测试同学们加减法的水平。瓜子儿其实能做一些简单的算数，熟练程度取决于被加加减减的东西，越是她感兴趣的，比如吃喝，算得就越快。

I look forward to watching Sydney's growth and sharing it with you on a continual basis.
—— 灰常感谢杰夫老师，多么地负责、细致还调侃。

综上所述，如果瓜子儿能肯定地认识13、15和18，我觉得Y就是女雷锋的最佳候选人。
