01、小學部集會

　　ES Assembly

　　認識學校、認識老師、認識自我、建立規則，是君誠學校開學工作的重中之重。為此，小學部特別舉辦了兩場集會活動(K3-G2和G3-G5)。首先，老師們制作了彩色的海報來介紹自己，同時引導學生們了解自己的性格優勢，并贊美鼓勵學生。君誠的教育理念是責任(Responsibility)、關愛(Caring)、友善(Kind)、尊重(Respect)、信任(Trust)，這樣的標識在校園內隨處可見，在集會上，老師們通過游戲的方式，讓學生們深刻了解到這些價值觀的含義，在日積月累中，形成自己的價值觀和世界觀。集會最后，老師們還給同學們準備了比賽獎品，鼓勵每一個學生充分展現到活動和比賽中來，展現自己。

　　To know the school, know the teachers, know ourselves and establish rules is the top priority of SIBS. Therefore, the elementary school organized two assembly activities (K3-G2 and G3-G5). First, the teachers made colorful posters to introduce themselves, guide the students to understand their character strengths, and celebrate and encourage the students. SIBS’s educational concepts are responsibility, caring, kind, respect and trust, the words can be seen everywhere in campus, during the assembly, teachers organized games to make the students understand the meaning of these values, over a long period accumulation, they can form their own sense of value and world view. At the end of the assembly, the teachers also prepared competition prizes for the students, encouraging each student to fully show themselves in the activities and competitions.

　　02、小學圖書館的升級改造

　　The ES Library transformation has begun

　　君誠一直致力于培養所有學生對于閱讀的熱愛。閱讀不僅僅是一種娛樂，或者是給讀者提供信息，閱讀能夠增強學生英文的拼寫和詞匯量，使他們感同身受，與作者產生共鳴。為了在君誠的學生中強調這一點，并有深切體會，我們首先從閱讀過程中最最關鍵的學習空間——圖書館開始入手：

　　-所有的書籍已被重新定位并重新貼上標簽，以方便學生查閱。

　　-新的布局、地毯、家具和標牌都有助于使我們的圖書館成為一個充滿樂趣和令人興奮的地方。

　　-圖書館迎來了新的專業教師：Anita Claasz，她在澳洲取得了教師圖書管理的碩士學位，擁有20多年雄厚的課堂教學經驗以及圖書館管理經驗，深受學生們的喜愛。

　　SIBS is committed to ensuring that all students foster a love of reading. Reading does more than entertain or give readers information; reading enhances spelling and vocabulary and teaches empathy. To build that within SIBS, we have begun the process of revitalizing the key learning space in the reading process: the library.

　　Books have been relocated and re-labelled for easy student access.

　　New layout, carpet, furniture and signage all assist with making our library a fun and exciting place to be.

　　But we are still under construction. We will keep you informed as we continue to create an inspiring and dynamic space for our students.

　　Yours in reading, Anita Claasz (Teacher Librarian)
