培养幼儿读书习惯！
2014年6月12日
Toddlers can bevoracious readers. They are also delightful reading companions as they are juststarting to request favorites, remember rhymes and even catch your skippedwords. Toddlers are interactive partners and when you read together you willget to know your child better and make wonderful memories. Treasure the time now, as children growquickly and soon enough you will long for these treasured snuggly hours readingtogether.

处于学步时期的幼儿对读书具有浓厚的兴趣。他们同时也对读书有很高的热情，他们正开始形成喜好、记忆韵律甚至捕捉我们漏掉的词语。学步期儿童互动非常好，在和孩子一起读书时，你会更加了解你的孩子同时留下美好的回忆。珍惜时间，因为孩子成长非常快，很快你就会发现你会奢求有更多一起阅读的美好时光。

After hearing a lot of buzz around the term “Reggio Emilia”,I attended the Explore+Discover event focused on infant and toddler developmentusing this approach. I attended theevent on Thursday and truly enjoyed the evening. Arriving guestswere greeted warmly with music playing in the background and snacks and drinksawaiting consumption. The crowd was intimate and diverse, with variousprofessionals from different backgrounds in the audience. Although apower point presentation and video clip guided the presentation, theconversation was informal and interactive, with audience members sharing theirperspectives and personal experiences.

在听说众多关于“瑞吉欧艾米莉亚”方法的信息后，我参加了探索与发现举行的关于使用此方法进行婴幼儿教育开发的活动。我参加了周四举行的活动，度过了非常愉快的一晚。参加活动的宾客受到了热烈的欢迎，房间内有背景音乐播放还有很多小吃和饮品。来参加活动的人群亲密又多元化，观众有来自各行各业的专家。有幻灯片介绍和视频播放，同时也有与观众们进行的非正式沟通和互动，观众们踊跃表达他们的看法和分享个人经验。

Rethinking theColorful Kindergarten Classroom

反思多姿多彩的幼儿园教室
《纽约时报》－贾恩·霍夫曼
2014年6月9日
A new study looked at whether colorfully decorated classroomsencourage or distract from learning for kindergarteners. The study found that when kindergartners weretaught in a highly decorated classroom, they were more distracted, their gazesmore likely to wander off task, and their test scores lower than when they weretaught in a room that was comparatively plain. Montessori schools have long emphasized a calmer, understated look.(http://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/well/2014/06/09/rethinking-the-colorful-kindergarten-classroom/)
近期有一个新的研究，主题是关于装修五颜六色的教室是否会激励幼儿园学生的学习还是会分散学生注意力。该研究发现，幼儿园学生在装修过于花哨的教室学习，会非常分散注意力，他们注意力很容易会被从学习上分散，他们的考试成绩相比在相对装修简单的教室学习的孩子们要低。蒙特梭利学校一直坚持使用更平淡和简单的装修。
