还有5天就是美国的选举日, 媒体及和朋友们的话题也不知不觉地围绕着它. J和G虽然才上PreSchool(学前班),
可是却清清楚楚地知道Obama, Macain, Hilary 等等的样子. 有一天接他们放学, J问我晚上是不是要看总统辩论,
把我吓了一跳. “你怎么知道?” “喔, W的妈妈告诉我们老师的…”
所以当我收到学校给我们的字条关于选举意识教育时, 丝毫不觉得奇怪, 感觉得很有意思. 以下是字条内容.
**************************************
Dear Parents,
亲爱的家长,
As we continue our ongoing Character Education series, we will
be addressing CITIZENSHIP in November in a unique and exciting way
for the Pre-K classes. As this is a Presidential
election year, we are taking this opportunity to show the children
the importance of voting. We will be having our
own “election” voting on a favorite treat “Cookies VS. Cupcakes.”
All of the children will “register to vote this by signing their
names, and getting their own “voter registration
card”. We will be making campaign posters to
encourage voting for either cookies or cupcakes and decorating the
walkway between classes. On Nov. 4, all the
children will make their votes in our own little voting booth on
the upper play yard and receive a special “I voted”
sticker. After the votes are all in, we will
gather together to tally the ballots so they can see that their
votes all count. Then, on Nov 5, all the classes
will join together to enjoy whichever treat won.
当我们继续我们的性格教育系列时, 我们将用很特别的方式给学前班的孩子进行11月的公民教育. 今年是选举年,
我们会用这个机会向孩子们演示投票的重要性.
我们也将进行我们自己的”小甜饼和杯形饼”的”选举”. 所有的孩子都将签名登记和得到选举登记卡.
我们也会在各个教室的走廊里贴上竞选标语. 在11月4日那天, 所有的孩子都将聚在小操场投票,
并得到”我投了票”的贴纸. 当所有的选票都收到后, 我们会在他们面前计票. 然后, 11月5日,
所有的班级就会享用到得票最多的饼干.
*************************************************
教育可以有很多方式, 但实际地经历和体会将是其中一种最好的方式. 期待着和孩子们共同经历更多的美式教育.
