亲爱的各位家长:

我想和各位分享一下与学龄前的孩子们相处、工作是什么样的体验。目前我班上的孩子大部分都是三岁，也就是刚刚开始融入学校环境的孩子。在我看来，他们的第一任老师必须具备某些可以让孩子在学校感到安全和舒适的特质。在来我的班级之前，大多数孩子大部分时间都在家里与父母或（外）祖父母一起度过，所以大多数三岁的孩子会在开学的第一个月因为想家而大哭。

Dear parents,

I would like to tell you what it means for me to work with preschool age students. I work with the three-year-old. Most of the students that come into my class are new to the school environment. In my opinion the first teacher they have must have certain qualities that can make a child feel safe and comfortable in school. Before coming to my class, most of the kids have spent most of their time at home with their parents or grandparents. Most three-year-old will cry and miss home the first month of school.

作为一名教师，我的工作是为他们提供一个温暖、友好、舒适、安全的氛围，让他们尽快地适应新的环境。一旦孩子们觉得自己受到关照而获得安全感，他们就更容易在课堂上学习和成长。

It is my job as a teacher to provide them with an atmosphere that is warm, friendly, comfortable, and safe for them to adjust to a new environment. Once children feel safe and cared for, it is then easier for children to learn and grow in class.

对于三岁的孩子，我不仅关注他们的学业发展，我还会关注他们社交方面、身体健康方面和情感方面的发展。

With the three-year-olds,I do not only focus on their academic development, but also their social, physical, and emotional development.

学术发展

Academic Development

在这个年龄段，孩子们要学习字母表的辨认与拼读、从一到二十的数字、基本卫生、基本形状、主要和次要颜色、身体部位、常见的农场动物、季节和天气、植物的生命周期 、蝴蝶的生命周期，还有关于交通的基本信息。

At this age the students will learn to recognize and say their alphabets, numbers from one to twenty, basic hygiene, the basic shapes, primary and secondary colors, body parts, common farm animals, the seasons and weather, the life cycle of a plant, the life cycle of a butterfly and basic information about transportation.

社会发展

Social Development

孩子在这个年龄段来学校就读是有好处的，因为社交技能对他们的一生都非常重要。他们将在学校学会与其他学生分享、关心他人，并更好地表达自己的感受、想法和疑问。

It is good for kids to go to school at this age, because social skills are very important to learn throughout their lives. They learn to share, care for others, and better communicate their feelings, opinions and questions.

身体发育

Physical development

在学校，我们还会关注他们的身体发育，比如他们的粗大运动技能和精细运动技能。粗大运动技能包括跳跃、跳跃、跑步、投掷、踢腿、接球等。精细运动技能包括使用剪刀、胶水、粗蜡笔、画笔、橡皮泥、粘土、油灰、卡扣玩具、乐高积木等。

In school we also work on their physical development such as their gross motor skills and their fine motor skills. Gross motor skills are jumping, skipping, running, throwing, kicking, catching, etc. Fine motor skills consist of using scissors, glue, chunky crayons, paintbrushes, play dough, clay, putty, snap toys, Legos, etc.

情感发展

Emotional development

在我的课堂上，学生的情感发展非常重要。他们将学习如何控制自己对他人和自己的情绪和反应。这对学生和老师来说都需要很多时间和耐心。帮助引导他们认识自己的情绪并教他们如何更好地自我控制自己的反应和反应是老师的工作。

In my class it is very important for students to work on their emotional development. They will learn how to control their emotions and responses towards others and themselves. This takes a lot of time and patient for both the student and teacher. It’s the teacher’s job to help guide them to recognize their own emotion and teach them how to better self-control their reactions and responses.

我希望这封信能让您更好地了解，我班上正在发生的事情以及我的价值观。感谢您用宝贵的时间阅读这封信。

I hope this letter gives you a better insight to what goes on in my class and what my values are. Thank you for taking your time out to reading this letter.

Sincerely yours,

Mabel C.
