Learning through Play – The eLearning way! | 寓教于乐----在线学习方式!
We are all currently faced with a difficult situation that is impacting us in different ways. Some families are still in Beijing and are spending the majority of their days at home together without the support, outings and interaction they would normally have.
我们目前都面临着一种困难的情况，这种情况正以不同的方式影响着我们。
一些家庭仍然住在北京，他们大部分时间都呆在家里，没有了平时的支持、出游和互动。
Some families have gone to their home countries to stay with family or friends during this crisis. Many are in different time zones and miss their friends and teachers as well.
一些家庭回到了自己的国家，与家人或朋友呆在一起。在不同的时区，有很多人想念他们的朋友和老师。
Other families (like my own) find themselves in a virtual post CNY limbo – not at home in Beijing nor in their home countries. This adds a burden of additional cost and social isolation.
其他的家庭(比如我自己的家庭)处于一个虚拟的春节后的过渡时期——既不在北京的家里，也不在自己的国家。
The ECE team acknowledges all of these extra pressures on our families and we aim to support you all with the tips below, as we continue this learning journey together.
这增加了额外成本和社会隔离的负担。我们知道家庭承受了这些额外的压力，我们会一直在学习的过程中提供帮助。
Safe and Secure - this is the most important thing, especially for our youngest learners!
Reassure your children. Don’t discuss your own concerns and worries in front of them.
Answer their questions simply and honestly. Children need to know why things are different but they do not share their own anxieties!!!
安全可靠-这是最重要的，特别是对我们最年轻的学习者！
要让你的孩子放心。不要在他们面前谈论你自己的担忧和忧虑。
简单而诚实地回答他们的问题。孩子们需要知道为什么事情是不同的，但他们不会分享你自己的焦虑！
Establish a new daily routine – children will benefit from a calm, consistent routine. Just as we would at school, make a schedule for following up our learning ideas, reading stories together, playing with toys, meal times, nap time and don’t forget to include some active games/ play. Even though the children may be confined to indoors, they still need to keep their little bodies active. This could include things like dancing or ball games.
建立一个新的日常习惯——孩子们将受益于一个平静的，一致的日常习惯。就像我们在学校一样，制定一个时间表来跟进我们的学习想法，一起读故事，玩玩具，吃饭时间，午睡时间，别忘记包括一些积极的游戏。尽管孩子们可能被限制在室内，他们仍然需要保持他们的小身体活动。这可能包括跳舞或球类运动。
Have a calm, comfortable space where children can play!
See what pace is right for them. Don’t go too quickly or expect them to be interested in all the activities suggested. They will have their own ideas and these are just as important!!! Eat well, sleep well and have a balance of quiet and active times during the day.
给孩子们一个安静、舒适的玩耍空间!
看看他们适合什么节奏。不要操之过急，也不要期望他们对建议的所有活动都感兴趣。他们会有自己的想法，这些想法同样重要！吃得好，睡得好，在一天中保持安静和活动时间的平衡。
Join our learning at home programme each school day. Provide lots of time to play!!
参加我们每天的家庭学习计划。提供充足的时间玩!
Allocate some time within your daily routines to do the activities, stories and songs together. As you already know, our YCIS ECE Approach has a play-based, child-lead curriculum, so the activities and ideas for learning that we send will be based on the children’s interests and other developmentally-appropriate learning activities. We encourage you to tell your child about the upcoming activities so they can look forward to participating in them with you until our regular classes resume. We look forward to working with you and your child during this time!
在日常生活中安排一些时间一起做活动、讲故事和唱歌。如您所知，我们的幼教部有一个以游戏为基础、以儿童为主导的课程，因此我们发送的学习活动和想法将基于儿童的兴趣和其他适合发展的学习活动。我们鼓励您告诉您的孩子即将进行的活动，这样他们就可以期待与您一起参加这些活动，直到我们的常规课程恢复。我们期待在此期间与您和您的孩子能一起！
The activities are suggestions. If your child is not interested in the activity, then you can try another one. If your child wants to do the same activity more than once, please encourage them to do so, as this is their interest. Tell us about what books and songs they enjoy at home and we can develop further opportunities for engaging with these areas of interest.
这些活动是建议。如果你的孩子对这个活动不感兴趣，那么你可以尝试另一个。如果你的孩子想做同样的活动不止一次，请鼓励他们这样做，因为这是他们的兴趣所在。告诉我们他们在家里喜欢读什么书，听什么歌，这样我们就有更多的机会参与他们感兴趣的领域。
It would be wonderful if you can actively participate with your child in their learning at home activities. Talk to your child about what they are doing (colours, shapes, actions, etc.) and encourage them in the activity.
如果你能积极参与孩子的家庭学习活动，那就太好了。告诉你的孩子他们在做什么(颜色、形状、动作等)，并在活动中鼓励他们。
Communicating with your teachers about your children’s learning interests at home allows teachers to make suggestions to extend learning at home and also enable teachers to include these ideas when planning for the following week.
与老师沟通孩子在家的学习兴趣，可以让老师提出建议，扩大在家的学习，也可以让老师在下周的计划中包含这些想法。
Encourage children’s independence and self-help skills at home! Developing independence is an important part of our curriculum framework at school, but also an integral aspect of family life. It does need practice and sometimes is not successful on first attempts. Perseverance leads to such a wonderful sense of achievement and it is invaluable. Children are competent and capable! They can help pack away their toys and help with other simple chores at home.
鼓励孩子在家的独立性和自律能力！培养学生的独立性是学校课程体系的重要组成部分，也是家庭生活的重要组成部分。它确实需要实践，有时在第一次尝试时并不成功。坚持不懈会带来一种美好的成就感，它是无价的。孩子们很能干！他们可以帮忙收拾玩具，在家里帮着做其他简单的家务。
Talking together. Join your class interactive session each day – if your time zone permits. This is a good chance to see and talk to your teachers and friends. You can also make personal contact with your friends and families through other platforms such as WeChat and Facetime.
Offer interaction with members of the family and limit passive screen time - remember to talk, draw, count, match, play, read, dance, sing, pretend, move, create, build and imagine together every day!!
一起说话! 如果您的时区允许，请加入每天的课堂互动。这是一个与你的老师和朋友见面和交流的好机会。您还可以通过微信、Facetime等平台与亲朋好友进行私人联系。
与家庭成员进行互动，并限制屏幕时间——记得每天一起交谈、画画、计数、比赛、玩耍、阅读、跳舞、唱歌、装扮、运动、创造、构建和想象!
Don’t forget that children are learning all the time. They learn from the conversations that we have with them, from what they see, hear, play, read and sing! So, enjoy this special time with your little ones and see what wonderful ideas and creativity they have as we share this journey together!
别忘了孩子们一直在学习。他们从我们与他们的对话中学习，从他们的所见所闻、游戏、阅读和歌唱中学习！所以，和你们的孩子们一起享受这段特别的时光，看看他们有什么好主意和创造力，因为我们一起分享这段旅程！
