我们在在这，这里就是希望，我太想念学校了，想念和同学们一起学习、一起运动、一起演奏…… 我想同学们肯定也和我一样。

Dr. John’s Letter

校长来信

When I was growing up, my mother taught me a valuable lesson that I have always carried with me. This is something that I have been reminded of lately, as China, the United States, and countries all over the world struggle with the Coronavirus, or COVID 19. The lesson my mother taught - like much of what she taught me - was very simple and wise. When I became unhappy or sad or frustrated about something, preoccupied with the things in my life that were not going well, my mother would always remind me, in a slight Irish brogue, to “Count your blessings!”

在中国、美国及世界各地都积极地投身于抗击新冠肺炎的战斗时，我倏然地想起小时候妈妈曾传授过的一个伴我成长、令我终生受益的小智慧。妈妈的智慧永远是那么简单又历经弥新，在我孩提时代，每当我感到不高兴、沮丧，或当工作没有预想地那么顺利时，妈妈总会用她那略带爱尔兰腔调的英语在我耳边小声说: “感恩惜福!”

This has always served as a constant reminder to me to be grateful for the good things in my life, which really comes down to the good people - family and friends - who always make my life better because they are part of it. It does little good to dwell on the negative things in my life, especially those I cannot change. Though I certainly wish that terrible events - such as the current crisis - were not taking place, it is far healthier to be thankful for the wonders and blessings that surround us. We just need to remind ourselves sometimes to look for those blessings, because it’s easy to lose sight of those blessings when things are not going well.

在人生的不同阶段，这份智慧总会提醒我要感恩生活中的点滴美好，尤其要感谢始终陪伴我们的家人和朋友，过度地沉溺于无法改变的事实对我们的生活毫无裨益。我们每个人都希望现在的疫情不会发生，但是相比这份无意义的空想，大家都应学会感恩，感谢那些无私奉献、陪伴我们共同战斗的人们。在逆境中，大家太容易忽视生活的美好，所以我们要时刻提醒自己，常怀感恩之心。

So, I would encourage everyone to take a moment to 'count your blessings’ because this crisis will pass, and we will have made it through a historic crisis that we will always remember. In the end, I would like to share music named ‘Youth’ which has been composed by one of our talented students, Kenny Zhang and a delicate video made by Noah He. I hope everyone will remember the days of our lives at BIPH.

我希望大家都能短暂地放缓脚步，细想自己美好的生活。我们最终会战胜疫情，而这份经得起历史考验的胜利必定是我们共同的精神财富。最后，我想在此和大家分享海龙艺术家Kenny Zhang及Noah He的近期作品，Kenny为大家奉献了一首充满希望的乐曲《Youth》，Noah也为抗疫制作了精美视频。我希望大家在欣赏他们的作品时都能想起自己在BIPH校园珍贵的青春时光!

This break is unexpectedly long and I miss the school so much, I miss all the time I spent with my classmates in studying, exercising and conducting…….all of my friends feel the same way, I wish this song can bring students’ back to school life!

这个“假期”出乎意料地长，我太想念学校了，想念和同学们一起学习、一起运动、一起演奏…… 我想同学们肯定也和我一样。希望我的这首曲子，能带同学们一起回到充满活力的校园时光!

In AP Physics we looked at some examples of angular momentum and rotational inertia. Using a spinning chair and some weights, students can see how changing the rotational inertia of a spinning body cause the angular speed to change as well. These demonstrations are great at helping students see the physics concepts they have learned function in real life. After that, students participated in an AP test-prep activity. Students needed to determine a procedure they could use to calculate the moment of inertia for a random object as it rolls down an inclined plane. Students were able to ask for measurements they needed to perform their calculations, and they successfully generated an experimental procedure that helped them to calculate the inertia of the object. As we prepare for the AP exam, experimental design activities like this one are vital to students’ success on the exam.

最近我们在AP物理课堂中学习了关于角动量和转动惯量的例子。通过观察转椅和重物的物理实验，学生可以从中掌握旋转物体的转动惯量与角速度改变的关系。这些演示有助于大家从生活的角度生动、形象地理解课本里学到的物理概念。实验后，我们开展了AP备考活动。我要求孩子们设计自己的物理实验，在实验中，孩子们需要计算一个随机物体滚下斜面时的转动惯量，大家需按计算要求进行物理测量，最后，所有学生都成功地设计出计算物体惯性的实验。在我们准备AP考试前夕，这样的实验设计活动有助于学生们充分备考。

In Algebra 2 this week, we were working on increasing pace while maintaining accuracy. Miss K and her students both worked to complete math questions as fast as they could, and any student who completed a question correctly and faster than Miss K earned a point for their team. The team with the most points at the end of class could skip one homework set this week. Students felt the pressure of working under an uncertain deadline and had to practice typing their answers into the chat box according to guidelines for free response questions. Students were motivated to not only beat their peers but felt extra satisfaction when completing questions faster than their teacher. Increasing their pace is vital to having extra time to check their work and ensuring they are demonstrating their skills clearly on assessments. Congratulations to the students who earned one night off practice, all your hard work certainly is recognized and rewarded! Keep it up!

在本周代数2的学习中，Miss K在提高孩子们解题速度地同时，亦不忘训练孩子们计算的准确性。Miss K和她的学生同时解答同一道数学题，任何答对问题且比Miss K解题速度快的学生都能为自己的小组赢得一分。每堂课结束后，得分最高的小组可以获得本周免做作业的机会。学生们因为要比拼速度，且需快速将自己的答案发送到直播间，这一系列快节奏的课堂要求保证了孩子们学习的动力，而且当孩子们能比老师更快地解开数学谜题时，他们会感到非常有成就感。提高同学们的解题速度可以帮助孩子们用节约下来的时间检查自己的答案，并且能最大程度保证孩子们在数学测验中更好地展示自己的数学技巧。恭喜因自己课堂表现优异拿到奖励的孩子们，大家的努力都值得肯定和奖励，再接再厉!

The Honors Chemistry course helps students understand the world around them by studying matter and the changes it undergoes. The course is designed to prepare students to take AP Chemistry. We are covering chemical reaction units which include Properties of Solutions, Acids and Bases and Stoichiometry. Students will understand the two main sub-branches of Analytical Chemistry Qualitative analysis: The determination of the identity of chemical species present in a sample: what is inside this sample? Quantitative analysis: An examination to determine how much of a particular species is present in a sample. How much of this chemical inside the sample? Quantitative analysis techniques are a very important part of chemistry and involve practical activities. The lab component teaches students how to apply the concepts learned in the course to experimental situations. Interactive online demonstrations are currently shown to help students be familiar with the equipment they will use in performing titrations.

荣誉化学课程通过研究物质及其变化帮助学生了解周围的世界，该课程的设置是为学生未来顺利学习AP化学做准备。最近我们正在学习化学反应，包括溶液性质、酸碱度和化学计量。学生将了解化学定性分析的两个主要分支，确定样本中存在的化学物质的特性，即样本里有什么。定量分析：确定样品中有多少特定物质，即样品中有多少此类型的化学物质。定量分析是化学学习及化学实践中非常重要的计量方法。我们的化学实验课会帮助学生将所学化学概念应用到化学实验中，帮助孩子们更好地理解化学知识。最近我正通过互动式在线教学为学生们演示滴定实验。

One of our school’s educational goals is to help our students become qualified world citizens, which requires our children to be aware of the world and have a sense of their role in it. To become a global citizen, a student has to be creative and proactive. As reported in our previous newsletter, our Fine Arts students took the initiative to create many amazing paintings so as to support our warriors’ fighting against COVID-19, and this time, our students who excel in speech proactively showed their encouraging words and their beliefs in our final victory!

我校秉承培养学生成为合格世界公民的教育宗旨，要求孩子们不仅关心家事、国事，更要主动关心天下事，并积极追寻、定位自己世界公民的角色，这要求孩子们富有创意及具有前瞻精神。在以往的校刊中，我们报道了艺术组学生为抗击新冠疫情创作的多幅精美绘画作品，本期校刊，我们再次非常骄傲地为大家展示BIPH学生传递抗击疫情必胜的信念

Sing With Love

爱的合唱

Our care and love never stops reaching out to the others who are in need of support. Although China has obtained a phased achievement, COVID-19 outbreaks are spreading speedily in the rest of the world. “Everyone knows enough to understand that COVID-19 will test our capacities to be kind and generous……Our task now is to bring the best of who we are and what we do to [the] world…...” It is the time for us to send our care to the countries and people who are currently struggling and battling with the coronavirus. We know our students always regard our teachers and staff as their role models, so we always want to deliver nothing but positive spirits and kindness. Recently our teachers recorded a video of them singing the song “Imagine” together. Let’s listen together and may we all proceed with wisdom and grace!

我们的爱与关怀如潺潺流水般源源不断地流向所有需要帮助的人们。尽管中国已取得抗击新冠肺炎战“疫”的阶段性胜利，但新冠病毒正在世界范围内迅速扩张。“大家已经意识到COVID-19正在考验我们与人为善的本能……现在我们需要将自己言行最美好一面展示给这个世界……” 我校老师深谙在危机面前亟需大家将爱与关怀传递给所有正在疫情中挣扎、战斗的人们，小海龙们在老师们这样身体力行地传递积极、和善心态的环境下成长，也一定会成长为学会感恩的朝气少年!下面请随着我们的视频一起欣赏我校老师们合唱歌曲Imagine，希望大家在共渡难关之际都能充满智慧与感恩之心!

National Poetry Month

国家诗歌月

April is National Poetry Month in the United States! Hurray for poetry! In celebration of National Poetry Month, we would like our students to share some of their poetry! If you’ve got a poem you would like to see published in the BIPH newsletter in April, please send your poem to your English teacher. English teachers will choose the ones that work best for our BIPH newsletter, and you may see your very own poem in the next newsletter! Only one poem per student, please! May you be inspired and find your inner poet this month!

每年的四月为美国的国家诗歌月，向浪漫的诗歌欢呼吧!为了庆祝诗歌月，我们诚邀BIPH学生分享自己的诗歌创作。如果你在四月内创作出非常满意且希望发表在校刊的诗歌，请孩子们将自己的作品发给自己的英文老师。我校老师会根据要求选出最适合发表的诗歌，孩子们请定期查阅我们的校刊，兴许某天，你就会发现自己的作品发表在校刊上哦!我校英语组规定，每位学生仅可发送一首自己最满意的诗歌给自己的英文老师，争取发表的机会。希望海龙诗人们在四月灵感多多，为大家分享自己最精彩的四月感悟!
