本周提要
请各班尽快选出PTA Lead Elect your class PTA Leads
各班的PTA lead很重要。请家长和老师们马上选出各班的PTAlead并报到PTA(pta@nwchinese.org)。PTA lead是班里老师的好帮手,也是老师和家长之间的重要桥梁,为孩子们营造好的学习环境起重要作用,也是给孩子们言传身教为社区服务的一个好机会。The class PTA lead is also an important help to the classroom teacher and parents. All classes elect a PTA lead and report to pta@nwchinese.org, as soon as possible.
我们欢迎大家和我们联系,但如果您需要给我们发电邮,请用compose/new编写一个新邮件。千万不要用reply去跟进我们的通讯。We welcome communications from parents. If you need to write us, please start a NEW email to pta@nwchinese.org, and DO NOT hit the reply button in the PTA messages.
西北中文学校家长读书会召集啦!
在孩子上中文课的时候,家长还可以做什么?如果您愿意和家长们一起读读书、聊聊天,欢迎参加“西北中文学校家长读书会”!这学期我们从《P.E.T.父母效能训练》开始,用大约六周时间阅读学习。之后读什么书由家长们讨论决定。
P.E.T. (Parent Effectiveness Training)父母效能训练由美国的人本主义心理学家托马斯.戈登博士(Dr. Thomas Gordon)在1962年创建,半个多世纪以来这本书已经被翻译成三十多种语言,影响了全世界五十多个国家的数百万家庭。P.E.T.方法简单明了、有效实用,已经由无数家庭验证。P.E.T.旨在向父母传授与孩子有效沟通的技巧,用“没有输家”的方式面对冲突,建立家庭中互相尊重、自我负责的健康关系。您可以既学即用,同时领会技巧背后深刻的人本主义信念,P.E.T.亦术亦道,值得您学习!
英文版<P.E.T. parent effective training>可以网购,中文版(推荐琼林翻译的新版)在amazon上也有。
时间:每周六9-11AM(西北中文学校开课的周六)
