福州西湖国际学校于上周五举办了幼儿部开放日！时值感恩节艺术展展出期间，家长们欣赏了FLIS学子的画作，也参观了一侧特设的幼儿部摄影展。FLIS幼儿部兼小学部校长Eddy先生与幼儿部中方园长Chloe女士首先致辞表示欢迎，两人为家长们介绍了3-5周岁幼儿各领域发展注意点，以及家长如何根据各年龄段特点辅助孩子发展该领域智能。之后，FLIS副校长Jeanne女士也在讲座中向大家介绍如何为孩子在家创设一个趣致、温馨、充满创意的学习空间。
Fuzhou Lakeside International School held its ECE Open House last Friday! On the occasion of the Thanksgiving Art Exhibition, parents enjoyed the FLIS students' drawings and visited a special ECE photography exhibition on the side. Then ECE & Primary Principal Mr. Eddy and ECE Director Ms. Chloe welcomed the parents and introduced them to the various areas of development for children between the ages of 3 and 5 years old and how parents can assist their children in this area according to their age. Ms. Jeanne, FLIS Foreign Principal, also gave a presentation on “How to Create an Engaging, Warm and Innovative Home Learning Space for Your Child”.

本年度，我校幼儿部在原有课程体系内加入了IEYC课程，即国际早期教育课程。IEYC课堂是面向2-5岁儿童的综合课程，目前在全世界60多个国家的300多所学校中使用。该课程提出了符合国际前沿课程的八大学习原则，支持幼儿全面发展的四大学习领域。
This year, the ECE Department has added the IEYC program, an International Early Childhood Curriculum, to its existing curriculum. IEYC is a comprehensive curriculum for children aged 2-5 years old; it is currently used in more than 300 schools in more than 60 countries around the world. The program proposes eight learning principles that are consistent with the current cutting-edge international school curricula and four learning areas that support the holistic development of young children.
#Capture Curiosity
*以下图片均为大班本学期第一个主题“Going Places”的部分学习记录。
IEYC课程基于对全球范围内2-5岁小朋友的调研，精选出18个更受该年龄段喜爱的探索主题。在这些更适龄、更有针对性的趣味主题引导下，一个个闪光的“好奇瞬间”将被串起，点亮他们一生的探索发现之旅。因此，在每个单元的教案封面都印着: capturing curiosity，时刻提醒着教师们要尊重并激发孩子们的好奇心，让他们对世界保持好奇与兴趣。
The IEYC curriculum is based on a worldwide survey of children aged 2-5 years old, and 18 themes have been selected as the most popular topics for this age group to explore. Guided by these more age-appropriate, relevant and interesting themes, shining "moments of curiosity" will be strung together to light up their lifelong journey of exploration and discovery. For this reason, the cover of each unit's lesson plan reads: capturing curiosity, a constant reminder to teachers to respect and inspire children's curiosity and to keep them curious and interested in the world.
#Learning Units
自成体系又彼此联系的主题式学习单元是该课程的一大特色。每个IEYC主题单元都有其明确的学习进度，这为小伙伴们的学习提供了一个结构化的学习方法，确保他们在学习的过程中既充满兴趣又能完成教学目标。因此，拥有不同技能和属性的宝宝们既能按照各自兴趣的侧重点进行不同角度的探索，又能获得相关单元内自成体系的基础知识、技能和社会情感领域的培养，真正实现高质量的个性化学习(Individualized Learning) 。
The self-contained and interconnected thematic learning units are one of the program’s specialties. Each IEYC unit has a clear learning progression, which provides a structured approach to learning and ensures that the children are both interested and able to achieve the learning objectives. As a result, children with different skills and attributes are able to explore different perspectives according to the focus of their interests, while gaining a basic foundation of knowledge, skills, and social-emotional learning within the relevant unit, truly achieving high-quality individualized learning.
#International Dimension
IEYC课程四大领域之一的独立与相互依存领域，在每一个IEYC的学习单元里都会有所渗透，通过一个个跨学科、跨文化的适龄趣味活动，孩子们在几年的成长时光里，日用而不自知地建立起了对“异”与“同”的深刻理解和接纳，学会从“我”到“我们”的不同角度去看待世界，思考未来，成长为一名合格的世界公民。
One of the four areas of IEYC, independence and interdependence, is infiltrated in every IEYC learning unit. Through a series of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural age-appropriate fun activities, children naturally develop a profound understanding and acceptance of "different" and "same", learn to see the world from different perspectives (from "me" to "us"), think about the future, and learn how to be good global citizens.
通过这一课程，我们致力于培养好奇心强、热爱探索、放眼世界的学霸宝宝。
Through this program, we are committed to nurturing children who are curious, love to explore, and have a global perspective.
开放日当天，家长也在观摩课堂一节中体验了幼儿日常学习模式，他们与孩子一起做感恩节手工、观赏宝宝准备的惊喜节目、还收获了小朋友亲手送上的礼物！希望这一天的活动能让各位家长稍稍了解FLIS的教学理念，有所收获。感谢您的参与，也希望您度过了一个快乐的感恩节！
On the day of the open house, parents also got to experience the daily learning patterns of their children in a classroom observation session where they did Thanksgiving crafts with their children, watched a surprise program prepared by the children, and received gifts from them! We hope that this day's activities allowed parents to know a little bit about FLIS' teaching philosophy and we hope that they benefited from it. Thank you for your participation and we hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
