Welcome to grade 6. My name is Ms. Dean and I will be your English teacher for the year. Please read the information on this home page to help you understand the expectations and goals for the year.
There will be a lot of important information about assignments and upcoming events posted on this page of the website, so please check back frequently. |
首先要介绍的就是我们今年新开设的班级网站,网址是www.deanclass.weebly.com。该网站包含了课堂上的学习材料、资料搜索的链接、学习网站的链接和一些帮助我们复习所学知识的小游戏。我会把每周的家长信和周末作业放到我们的班级网站上,如果没有收到或遗失了家长信的家长就可以到网站上查阅。有的同学如果对课堂上的内容或概念有不清晰的地方,也可以到我们的网站上点击相关的链接,进行更深入的学习。大家还可以在网站上找到与各个学习主题相对应的小游戏。

另外还有三个学习网站我想介绍给各位的:Zondle, Quizlet 和 QuizWorks。Zondle( www.zondle.com) 是一个制作动画小测验的网站,老师和同学们都可以在那里制作不同单元的小测题目。整理好题目以后,这些题目会以40种不同的游戏方式呈现出来,正确地回答问题以后会提供一次玩游戏的机会作为奖励。我已经在该网站上制作了许多不同的小测验题目供大家学习了。接着要介绍的是Quizlet( www.quizlet.com)。这是一个单词卡片的制作网页,孩子们可以在上面制作一些能帮助自己学习新单词和词义的小卡片。Quizlet能够让你听单词的发音、学习单词卡片、进行简单的游戏和自我检测。我已经制作了许多组的单词,特别是一些我们将要学习的单词表,但我还是鼓励各位孩子和家长能够进入该网站亲身感受一下。第三个网站叫QuizWorks ( www.onlinequizcreator.com )。这个跟Zondle很相似,但没有动画游戏。但它可以让我们制作一些选择题的小测题目,以自己每次的成绩为参考来正确更多的正确回答。以上的几个网站都是免费使用,而在我们的班级网站上大家也可以浏览到以上几个网站的例子。
This year we will be using Class Dojo as a management tool. A letter about this program will be sent home further outlining how it will be used. The basic idea is students get points for behaviors, either positive or negative. If parents put in their email address, a weekly report will automatically be sent on Fridays, letting you know how your child did.
在课堂管理方面,我将会使用一个叫 Class Dojo的在线软件来给孩子们的课堂表现打分。对该软件的详尽介绍将会在另外一封信中提及到,我也会在九月份的“外教课堂展示会”上跟大家分享的。

This year we are lucky to have the use of several laptop computers in our classroom, which will provide more opportunities for research, group work, and development of content knowledge. Both parents and students will be required to read and sign a usage agreement before students will be permitted to use the computers in class.
今年,我很高兴我们的课室里多了几台专供学生使用的手提电脑,让孩子们有更多的机会做资料搜集、完成团队任务和扩展他们的知识面。但是在孩子们使用这些电脑之前,我会在另外一封信中征求各位家长的允许和意见,到时候请家长和孩子们一同阅读有关的信件。

Because we will be working with technology as much as possible, I ask that each student come to class equipped with a USB drive, at lease 4 gigabytes in capacity. This is so we can transfer files and save documents. Students also need to sign up for an email address if they do not already have one. When emailing me, they MUST use their English names in both the subject line of the email and at the end of the email when they sign off.
由于在接下来的学习中,我们将会大量地使用与电脑或其他科技有关的辅助工具,所以我希望每一位同学都能准备一个自己专用的USB存盘,容量最好是在4G左右的,这样我们就能有足够的空间储存学习文件或上交作业。另外,我还希望孩子们准备一个自己的邮箱,如果没有的请尽快申请一个。每当给老师发邮件时,他们必须要确保自己的英文名字分别在邮件的主题栏和邮件内容的结尾处出现。

Interactive Notebooks
Interactive Notebooks are places where students keep the most important information about what they learn, so they have on easy place to go and find what they need to know. We will be making interactive notebooks for our English language skills, using them for reading, writing, and some grammar. Often we will work on these in class, but students will sometimes need to finish them at home.
We will be using Mead composition notebooks; each student will have one, and they will need to bring it to class everyday. I will collect the notebooks every three weeks to check that the work is finished and of good quality.
