家长助教欢  家园共育欣

    开学初，为调动家长参与幼儿园活动的积极性，形成有效的家园互动，东莞市南城加美幼儿园借助家长会议积极开展班级家长助教活动。

    活动以班级为单位，家长自愿报名参加的方式进行。各班家长发挥自己的特长，和孩子们亲密互动，开展形式多样化的家长助教活动。

     活动前，教师们根据每位家长的特长发出活动倡议。家长们收到倡议后欢欣踊跃，积极参与。有的家长擅长烘焙，准备了材料，指导幼儿进行烘焙体验；有的家长擅长英语，和孩子们一起做起英语小游戏；有的家长会吉他，边弹边唱幼儿歌曲；还有的家长手工很巧，指导幼儿一起做手工。丰富的活动不仅让孩子们度过了难忘而愉快的时光，也在家长的记忆卷中留下了美好的一页。

    引领家长，合力施教。加美幼儿园引导班级家长参加助教活动，不仅让家长会议推陈出新，家长工作做得有声有色，还促使幼儿园和家庭，教师和家长之间形成合力，家园共育，健全幼儿的身心发展。

书香溢满园，故事伴成长

    四月至五月“书香溢满园，好书伴成长”主题阅读活动期间，为了激发幼儿的阅读兴趣，共享美好的故事童年，体验亲子共读的乐趣，，让孩子们在故事中快乐成长，东莞市南城加美幼儿园开展“故事妈妈”课堂活动。各个班级的妈妈们踊跃报名参加，活动举办如火如荼。

    故事妈妈们精心选择故事内容，尽心做好前期准备工作。有的制作了故事ppt，有的DIY精美道具。大班妈妈带来《小猪变形记》、中班妈妈带来《小蚯蚓日记》、小班妈妈带来《好饿好饿的小蛇》等等。在妈妈们的精心策划、认真准备下，孩子们听得格外用心，看的特别专注。故事妈妈们精彩的讲述，声情并茂的表演，赢得孩子们的阵阵掌声。

    此次“故事妈妈”活动是加美幼儿园阅读月系列活动之一，不但为家长与孩子提供“亲子阅读”的平台，也方便家长进一步了解园阅读月活动。加美幼儿园希望通过一位故事妈妈能带动一批故事妈妈，从而推动每个家庭的亲子阅读，让热爱阅读深入到每个孩子、老师和家长的心田！（完）

 Assistance of Parents in Teaching

Canadian International Kindergarten – CanAm (CKE-CA)

Parents’ Help for Co-operation 

We are always eager to share kindergarten life with parents and encourage their participation.  To that end, Canadian International Kindergarten –CanAm (CKE-CA) recently held a parent-teacher activity with parent volunteers signing up to share any special skills they have.  Parents as guest teachers provide exciting interaction for students as kids really enjoy these types of activities.

Our CKE-CA teachers sent notice to parents in advance, to ask about parents’ skills and many parents responded, eager to join. Parents came to teach cooking, English, guitar and art and a fun-filled, joyful day was had by all.

Allowing parents to lead and working together to teach helps us all through not only channeling parent abilities and skills but also through bringing the CIEO family closer together.  This type of cohesion has a positive impact on the physical and emotional development of students.  CIEO wants to thank all of our parent volunteers for their valued time and efforts.

Stories For Growth

During April and May, Canadian International Kindergarten – CanAm (CKE-CA) held activities entitled Story Mom as part of an ongoing series of activities under the themes of ‘elegance in the kindergarten’ and ‘reading for growth’. Stimulating kids’ interest in reading through stories they love aids students’ growth and inviting moms to share strengthens family bonds.  Several mothers from all classes were gracious enough to attend and participate.

Story Moms chose their material carefully and supplemented the experience by preparing slide shows and other props in addition to music and performance elements.  Their dedication touched us all and we’re so thankful for the rich experience they have offered to our students. 

This activity for CKE-CA’s Reading Month is part of a series of planned activities which encourages parent-child reading in addition to being a convenient place for parents to learn more about our other Reading Month activities.  This event, and the efforts of our Story Moms has gone a long way towards developing life-long lovers of reading.
