　　向琴老师作为年轻教师，她有一种恬静的气质，每一次的工作都是严肃认真的对待，从来不打折扣，这个疫情期间让老师们居家办公，身怀六甲的向琴老师仍然抛开自己怀孕等反应，每节课都在线跟着班级学生们学习，细心观察班级里每一位同学的上课状态，及时对个别学生进行心理疏导，积极引导学生线上与各科老师互动，养成居家生活的好习惯。为了让学生们在四月份的线上课中能够有书看，向琴老师回学校整理班级中上学期留下的书籍给学生们，楼上楼下一人一包裹的搬运着，没有跟学校提出自己的困难。在德育处冯紫微老师的协助下，将学生们要使用的教材都搬运指定地点，交接给教务处。这种无私奉献、默默无闻的精神感动着每一名学生，感动着每一位家长。

　　As a young teacher, Mrs. Leanna has a quiet temperament. She takes her job seriously and never makes mistakes. During this epidemic period, all teachers worked at home. As a pregnant woman, she attended every class and carefully observed every student's study, and timely conducted psychological counseling for some special students, guided students to interact with teachers of various subjects, and develop good habits. In order to let students have books for online class in April, Mrs. Leanna went back to school to pack books for students, and carried them downstairs without any complaints. With the help of Miss Annie of the moral education department, all the books for students were moved to the designated place and handed over to the academic affairs department. She infected all of the students and parents with her dedication.

　　每一名学生都是一个独特的世界。教师需要用爱、宽容、耐心去眷顾和尊重每一名学生走进他们的内心世界，引领他们获得自我成长。

　　时刻鼓励——朋友圈晒“娃”狂

　　向琴老师曾多次荣获我校金牌班主任荣誉称号，对待上级领导交代的工作总是第一时间完成，从不畏惧困难。疫情期间的云家访工作，逐一采用打电话方式沟通，非常有仪式感的完成了摸查学生情况，对待个别学生想尽办法找学生的兴趣爱好，帮助他们一点点改变。她说通过云网力量，帮助学生们养成一天的好习惯就是成功的，在今后的教育道路上，相信有这种勤恳认真、吃苦耐劳的精神，一定会培养出更多朴实、善良的学生。

　　Mrs. Leanna has won the Outstanding Homeroom Teacher Award for many times. She always completes the work assigned by the superior leaders at the first time, and she’s never afraid of difficulties. During the epidemic, she communicated with each parent by phone call. She completed the investigation of students' situation, and tried her best to find out the students’ interests and help them improve. She said that through the network, it would be successful as long as I help students form a good habit. We believe that diligent and hard-working teachers like her will surely cultivate more kind students.

　　Mrs. Leanna’s quote on education:

　　Every student is a unique world. Teachers need to care for and respect every student with love, tolerance and patience, enter into their inner world, and lead them to achieve self-development.

　　将快乐传递给每一个孩子，让孩子的世界变得更加美丽精彩。

　　身为学校的老员工，侯老师一直以严格标准要求自己，对待工作一丝不苟，曾多次受到家长的表扬。面对幼小衔接的学生，这些可能连网络都不懂的小家伙们要开始线上教育学习了，这让学生们充满了无数的疑问和期待。身为老师，突然转变为线上授课形式，侯老师充满了压力。不强制学生上网课，面对有学习意愿的学生要积极鼓励和引导。在学校里上课老师可以和学生们游戏互动调动学习热情，改为线上授课后，侯老师想尽一切办法录制一些有意思的小视频来调动学生积极性，每天坚持在线答疑，让学生们居家不孤单。

　　As an experienced teacher of the school, Mrs. Hou has always been strict with herself and meticulous in her work. She has been praised by the parents for many times. She was facing the kindergarten students who may not even know what the internet is, but were going to start online learning. As a teacher, she also had to start online teaching, which brought her a lot of pressure. Teachers couldn’t force students to take online classes, but she encouraged and motivated her students effectively. During online teaching, it was hard for her to mobilize students by playing interactive games like they do in school. Instead, she tried her best to record some interesting videos frequently to arouse students' enthusiasm. She insisted on providing online Q & A everyday, so that students would not feel alone and helpless

　　另一方面，突如严重的疫情使各省市都严防控制，这打乱了侯老师和家人原本的计划。家里老人因为封路无法到北京，此时对于一周岁孩子的妈妈侯老师来说，有些许慌乱。她一边忙着线上授课，一边忙着照顾孩子，爱人因为复工需要到公司值岗。更让人意想不到的是，一天的中午孩子从床上摔倒地上，造成了手指多处骨折。此刻的侯老师每天跑医院带孩子接骨复查输液，然而线上的家长和孩子们还需要她，她怎么办?想到这里，她为了不让孩子们耽误课，跟学校提出了辞职。在教学和德育领导的支持和帮助下，侯老师克服了困难，白天在医院里上课，夜里孩子睡着后备课，一项工作也没有耽误。

　　侯老师几次提到这件事都哽咽不语，克服了种种条件限制的困难，熬到孩子出院居家观察。随着疫情得到控制，有家里人来帮忙照看孩子，她终于能轻松的在晚上睡几个好觉了。身为老师，也许在生活中扮演着多重角色，但是教育者独有的责任和担当，只有身怀感恩的老师，方能走远。

　　On the other hand，all her plans and those of her family were disrupted by the serious epidemic. Prevention and control work had been carried out in all provinces and cities, which made it impossible for Mrs. Hou’s family to get to Beijing, and her husband was still working during daytime. Mrs. Hou had to teach online and take care of her one-year-old baby at the same time. What was more unexpected was that the baby fell off the bed, resulting in multiple fractures of his fingers. So Mr. Hou had to take her baby to the hospital every day for infusion. At this moment, the students and parents in her class still needed her. What could she do? In order to ensure the course quality and avoid affecting students' learning progress, she decided to resign. With the academic and moral director’s support, she overcame the difficulties. During the day, she taught online in the hospital and prepared lessons after her baby fell asleep at night. Everything has been done excellently.

　　Mrs. Hou mentioned this with a lump in her throat. She overcame the difficulties of various conditions. Her baby has left the hospital for home observation. The outbreak is coming under control. Her family members came to help to look after the baby, so she can finally have a good night’s sleep. She may play multiple roles in her life, as a teacher, she is excellent and has a strong sense of responsibility.

　　Mrs. Hou’s quote on education：

　　“Pass happiness to every child; make children's world more beautiful and wonderful.”

　　从一年级开始带领本班学生的四年时间里，乔雪老师工作态度端正，工作细致。四年中，乔老师曾多次荣获金牌班主任奖项，班级也在校级各项比赛中取得过很多傲人的成绩。班级主要是外教授课，一些后转进来的学生英语基础薄弱，乔老师经常会非常耐心的给学生们做好翻译工作，给予家长更科学、全面的指导。正是因为乔老师保有一颗做教育的初心，“坚信每一个孩子都是最美的花朵”，班级学习氛围愈加浓厚，班级凝聚力越来越强。

　　In the four years since the first grade, she has been leading the students in this class with a very correct working attitude and meticulous work. In the four years, Mrs. Jill has won the Outstanding Homeroom Teacher Award for many times, and her class has also made many proud achievements in various school competitions. It's foreign teachers who teach the class, and new students are weak in English. So Mrs. Jill is always very patient to help translate to the students, and give scientific and comprehensive guidance to their parents. Mrs. Jill has an original intention to do education. She firmly believes that every child is a beautiful flower. Therefore, the learning atmosphere and cohesion of her class is becoming stronger and stronger.

　　爱就是教育，没有爱便没有教育!

　　寒假本应该是乔老师待产、休产假，可以和家人孩子独享清闲的时间。而恰逢春节期间，中国的疫情正在紧要关头，全国人民居家隔离。2月17日就要开始网络授课，老师们需要提前一周的时间自学并指导家长如何使用在线学习软件。学校受疫情影响一直没有应聘到合适的接班老师，因此学校领导考虑到先找一位金牌班主任兼顾两个班级的线上管理，德育处闫主任于生产当天和乔老师取得联系，劝说乔老师要以身体和宝宝为重，工作有领导和同事，可以放心。而身为班主任的乔老师，深知线上工作同事不了解本班情况和学生学情，担忧同事们承受过重的压力，因此乔老师依然回复领导，可以坚持带班，家人也可以帮忙。从2月17日线上授课开始，她的爱人就一直跟着她学习我校线上管理和软件使用，直至今日，在家人的支持下，乔老师的每一项工作都完成的非常及时准确。这样优秀的老师，让学校感到骄傲;作为老师，她不畏困难的精神一直感染着本班学生和同事们。

　　The winter vacation should have been Mrs. Jill's time of waiting for childbirth and taking maternity leave, and she could enjoy the leisure time with her family. At the critical moment of the Spring Festival and the epidemic in China, the whole country was taking home quarantine. On February 17th, it was going to start online teaching, and homeroom teachers had to self-study the teaching and learning software and teach parents a week in advance. Affected by the epidemic, our school has not been applied for the suitable teacher to take over her class. So the leaders considered having an experienced teacher to take care of the online management of two classes. Therefore, Director Wendy of the moral department contacted Mrs. Jill and persuaded her to focus on her baby. But Mrs. Jill worried if the other teachers don't know the situation of the class and students, and she also worried that the colleagues would be under excessive pressure. So she decided to continue lead the class. From February 17th to now, with the support of her family, everything has been done in a timely and accurate manner. We are proud of such an excellent teacher! Her indomitable spirit has been infecting the students and colleagues.

　　Mrs. Jill’s quote:

　　Love is education; there is no education without love!.

　　费尔蒙特八年级班主任刘晶老师，在网课期间，坚持每天8:00上线，提醒学生们整理内务，8:15开始进入会议室带领学生们进行线上锻炼，按照我校个性化中心提供的锻炼视频，亲自带领学生积极参与健身操，让居家学习的学生们能够在清晨活力满满。另外，在日常与家长沟通的过程中，发现了家长们对学生的视力尤其担心，刘晶老师向德育处赖主任寻求帮助，及时调整了学生的作息，每天上下午分别安排了一次眼保健操，引导学生在课间时间向窗外远眺，缓解视疲劳，进而保证了学生们的用眼健康。疫情期间，除了学生们焦躁以外，家长们也有自己的困惑，尤其是面对正处于青春期的初二年级的学生，亲子关系在疫情期间格外紧张。在了解到一些家庭出现亲子矛盾时，刘老师利用放学后的时间，共同邀请家长和学生，在不同的空间和不同的设备进行家校生“三方会谈”，耐心梳理亲子矛盾。缓和亲子关系，共同树立健康良好的成长目标。每天第六节课课后，费尔蒙特八年级的学生仍然需要在会议室上一节晚自习，完成当天作业，并且再次进行体育运动的锻炼，进而保证了每日的运动量。在每周一的晚自习时间，刘晶老师都会给学生们进行主题班会的讲解，针对当前疫情的发展情况和热门话题，培养学生独立思考的能力，并与他人分享自己的观点，帮助学生形成正向的三观。

　　Ms. Liu Jing is the homeroom teacher of Fairmont grade 8.During the epidemic period, she insisted on reminding students to be ready for the online class at 8:00 every day, and entering the online meeting room to lead her students to do morning exercise according to the exercise videos provided by the personalized center of our school at 8:15. She led students to actively participate in fitness exercises, so that the students could be full of energy in the morning. In addition, in the process of daily communication with parents, she found that parents are particularly worried about the eyesight of students. Ms. Liu asked for help from director Lai of the moral education department. She adjusted students' time table, arranged an eye exercise in the morning and afternoon of each day, and guided students to look out of the window during the break time, which is helpful to alleviate the visual fatigue, and ensure the students' eye health. During the epidemic, not only the students were anxious, but also the parents had their own confusion, especially when they face to the students who are in grade 8, the parent-child relationship was particularly tense. When Ms. Liu knew that some families have parent-child conflicts, she spent the time after school to invite parents and students to have communication between three of them, and patiently sorted out the parent-child conflicts. She helped to relieve the relationship between parents and their children, and set up healthy and good growth goals together. After the sixth class every day, the eighth grade students in Fairmont still need to have a night study class in the conference room to complete the homework of the day, and do physical exercise again, so as to ensure the daily exercise volume. In the evening of each Monday, Ms. Liu Jing would explain the main topic of the class meeting to her students. Through the development of the current epidemic situation and hot topics, she cultivated the ability of students to think independently, and led students to share their opinions with each other, and help students form a positive three socialistic concepts.

　　此外，刘晶老师同时还是七年级和八年级的中方英语教师，刘老师坚持每天给学生们进行听写，批改，纠错。短短一个月的时间，两个年级的学生已经积累了近1000个单词。同时，每周根据学生的学业和德育表现，刘老师课后与学生进行一对一谈话，引导学生的品行和学业共同进步。将德育工作和教学工作一起抓，并分别给班级的国际生和义务生树立下一步的的学习目标，指导不同的升学方向，及时解决家长们的问题，帮家长们排忧解难。尽管不能面对面的进行教育教学工作，但是云课堂期间，班级学生无一掉队，全员积极参与，获得了家长们的一致好评。

　　刘老师还牺牲周末休息时间,到学校给全校家长学生录制亲子关系网络公共课，播出后收到积极反响。

　　In addition, Ms. Liu Jing is also a English teacher in Grade 7 and grade 8. She insisted on doing spelling tests and correcting students’ works every day. In just one month, her students have accumulated nearly 1000 words. At the same time, according to the students' academic and moral performance every week, Ms. Liu has a one-on-one conversation with the students after class to guide them improve their behavior and academic. She focused on both moral education and academic, and set up the next learning goals for international students and other students. She also guided students according to different directions of future entrance, and solved parents’ problems in time. Although face-to-face education and teaching work cannot be carried out, but during the online studying, none of her students fell behind, and all of them actively participated in it, which won the unanimous praise of the parents.

　　Ms. Liu also spent her weekend to record the online public class meeting about parent-child relationship for parents and students in the school, and we received positive response after the broadcast.
