中学老师张雪野和庞静
老师们在读什么呢？
原来是启明星小学生们创作的中文绘本。
“没想到《再见老虎》的情节是那样设计的......！说是绘本，但《小甲虫历险记》是用剪纸和拓印做的。”庞静老师说。
难怪两位老师读得那么入迷。
这是4月初，启明星月度盛会——社会创新市场和凤凰论坛上的一幕。
当天，正在参加国际学校中文原创绘本比赛的启明星三里屯和北皋校区的小学生代表也来到现场。
他们向老师和学长们展示自己的创作，还在凤凰论坛上朗读，惊艳全场。
今年绘本比赛的主题是“同一个地球”，对于启明星学生来说，正是他们施展的好机会！
因为，关注现实的世界、思考怎样为身边社区带来积极的改变，既符合关爱、服务这些启明星的核心价值观，更时时融于校园生活和学习的方方面面。围绕“同一个地球”主题创作，就是孩子们平日所思所学再自然不过的流露。
三里屯和北皋校区的孩子们一共提交了上百件作品。它们最最真实地展示着：
启明星孩子们的创造力，以及更可宝贵的——这些小小年纪的少年为身边世界展开的广阔思考：对环境问题的关切、对其他文化的好奇和接纳、对疫情限制人类活动反而有利于自然复苏的知觉……
因为，超越对日常琐碎问题的关注，
将支撑孩子们在关键时刻看穿一时的干扰和局限，
进而延续真正重要的方向，
探索更远更长的人生的道路……
成长
老师们敬佩和感动于孩子们的热情与投入，拿出大量时间和精力支持。在她们看来，这首先是个重要的学习过程：
北皋小学部图书馆老师卢澄编写教案，和其他图书馆老师、中文老师利用图书馆课和课外时间，指导孩子们创作绘本。
“有个学生，初稿甚至跑题了。但他很认真，我每提出一遍修改意见，他就调整一遍。最终不但找到了正确的方向，内容还丰满起来，从一开始的两三页变成现在的十几页！我特别开心，通过这个项目看到孩子的成长。”卢澄说。
向大家分享和推荐自己的作品，是活动的一环，同样是学习如何反思、有效沟通的途径。三里屯校区中文老师苏夏带着学生一遍遍练习、演练，力求在展示现场实现最好的临场发挥。
延伸
孩子们和老师的共同投入，让绘本超出了学习和参加比赛的范围，成为一场行动：
绘本创作完成后，三里屯校区语言素养委员会的老师们组织高年级学生为一年级学生和三里屯艾毅幼儿园的小朋友阅读，希望他们也能在心里埋下“关爱地球”的种子：
3月末，三里屯校区还开启“丢书”活动，在苏夏老师的联系和协调下，孩子们在三里屯太古里的40家商铺、Page One书店、春风习习书店、通州的书店、身边的社区投放绘本，期望这些带着他们思考和愿望的一本本小书在更广大的读者群体间“漂流”……
孩子们将书“丢”在身边的社区
校园有边界，教育无边界。三里屯校区不大，但我们成功地把活动延展到校园外，包括周边的社区，远到通州的书店，还有我们学生生活的社区。农夫市集、太古里和Page One书店都为三里屯的丢书活动发了推文，本周五地球日，提倡负责任消费的服饰店Patagonia还会为我们做专场直播。
——三里屯校区小学副校长 吴晗
而北皋学生也在地球日庆祝活动中，为低年级学生和泉发幼儿园的小朋友阅读绘本；并在5月义卖作品，所得善款将捐助学校一直支持的慈善机构。
看见
现在，你一定好奇，有着这么多故事、孩子们这样投入的绘本长得什么样？
为了让所有孩子的努力“被看见”、“被认可”，老师们尽力展示所有的作品。目前，两个校区都将所有参赛作品交付工厂扫描、印刷，用于展示，也给孩子们留下宝贵的纪念。
三里屯校区副校长吴晗更是不辞辛苦，把两个校区的部分作品做成电子书，在电子平台展示。
“我很高兴可以为孩子们的活动助一臂之力！希望他们的绘本有机会被更多的人阅读，这是我们活动的初衷。”吴晗说。
篇幅所限，我们仅能在此展示有限的几本作品。事实上，孩子们创作的每一本绘本都精彩！每一分努力都值得庆祝！

Secondary school teachers Yuki Zhang and Peggy Pang
What are the teachers reading?
Oh, they are reading Chinese picture books made by Daystar elementary school students.
“I would have never thought that Goodbye Tiger could have such a unique plot. It's not just a normal picture book. The book The Adventures of Little Beetle was made through paper cutting and rubbing,” said Ms. Peggy Pang.
No wonder the teachers couldn’t put the books down.
It’s a lovely scene from early April at the Social Innovation Marketplace and Phoenix Forum—a monthly event at Daystar Secondary School.
On that day, student representatives from Daystar Beigao and Sanlitun elementary schools were also present to attend the international original Chinese picture book contest.
They showed their creations to teachers and the older students. They also read their works aloud at the Phoenix Forum and amazed the whole audience.
The theme of this year’s picture book contest is “One Earth.” It’s such a great opportunity for Daystar students to fully utilize their talents!
Because caring about the world and trying to make a difference are included in the Daystar values of Caring and Service, they are part of daily school life at Daystar. The theme “One Earth” is like a walk in the park for our talented and creative students.
Sanlitun and Beigao students submitted over 100 works of art. Their picture books can prove that Daystar students are full of creativity and other precious qualities. They are young, yet they care about the world around them. They are worried about the environment, curious about other cultures, and they think the restriction of human activities due to the pandemic can help nature recover.
For it is only by going beyond trivial daily tasks that can they cast their vision to the future,
avoid interference in critical stages of life,
stay true to their life path,
and explore further and longer on the road of life.
Growth
The teachers were amazed and touched by the passion and dedication of the students, so they also spent a lot of time and energy helping them to learn.
Lucy Lu, a librarian at Daystar Beigao elementary school, along with other librarians and Chinese teachers, guided students to create picture books both during and after class.
“I’m so glad to see students grow through this wonderful project. For example, a student misunderstood the topic when writing his first draft. But he was so earnest and serious that every time I gave him some revision advice, he would carefully rewrite the draft. In the end, he perfectly integrated the topic and even expanded his picture book to fill about around 20 pages.” said Lucy.
We decided to hold this event to encourage students to promote and share their works with others, learn to reflect on themselves and communicate with each other. Xia Su, a Chinese teacher at Sanlitun, led students in practicing and rehearsing again and again to make sure everyone would deliver their best performance at the event.
Extention
So, with passion and devotion from both students and teachers, the picture book project extended beyond being a mere contest to being an operation.
Literacy Committee at Sanlitun campus organized Sanlitun senior students took their works to junior grades and Ivy Academy Sanlitun Campus and read for the kindergarten students:
In late March, Ms. Xia Su helped students initiated the “lost book” event by leaving picture books in 40 shops of TaiKoo Li, in Page One bookstore of Sanlitun, in Spring Breeze Bookstore and in bookstores in Tongzhou District, letting them circulate among local readers.
Students "lost books" in their nearby communities
Education is unlimited and we manage to promote our events beyond the campus to the nearby communities, bookstores in Tongzhou District, and the communities students live in. Taikoo Li Sanlitun and the Page One bookstore will help promote our “lost book” event. This Friday, Patagonia, a clothing shop that advocates responsible consumption, will host a live stream for us.
—Hannah Wu, Elementary Assistant Principal at Daystar Sanlitun Campus
Beigao students will also read their picture books on Earth Day for kindergarten students at Quanfa Campus, as well as are selling their books to raise fund for Daystar’s partner charity organizations.
Recognition
Now, you must be wondering what exactly do these picture books, filled with stories and reflecting the dedication of the children, look like? Like you, we at Daystar are also looking forward to appreciating the students' works of art!
To ensure that everyone’s efforts are seen and recognized, teachers worked hard to put every piece on display. Now, all the student works submitted by both campuses are being scanned and printed for display, creating a wonderful and cherished memory for students.
Ms. Hannah even created a digital version of some selected picture books and displayed them online.
“I’m willing to support our students! We hope more picure books will be read widely. ” said Assistant Principal Wu.
Every picture book is so wonderful and interesting! The efforts of the students are worth respect and celebration!
