“知了，知了，知了……”大暑已至，校园里除了能听到孩子的欢笑声，还充满了蝉鸣。这是一年中最热的时期，腐草为萤，土润溽暑，大雨时行。大暑时节也是众多水果丰收的季节，夏日的清凉怎么少的了甜甜的水果呢？本周，就让我们和孩子们最爱的水果来个亲密接触吧！
Upon Great heat, the campus is filled with sound of cicadas besides children’s laughter. As the hottest time of the year, we also embraced the harvest of all kinds of fruits. Let’s explore into fruits this week!
小朋友们，你们认识这些水果吗？让我们把水果摆出来，学习一下它们的名字吧！“Apple, banana, blueberry, pineapple…”夏天的水果真丰富啊！让我们来洗一洗，切一切，串成一长串，“假装”去野餐吧！
Do you know these fruits? Let’s put them in plates and learn their names. “Apple, banana, blueberry, pineapple…” We’ll enjoy them in our picnic!

“老师老师，柠檬太酸了，我们怎么吃呢？”“柠檬虽然很酸，但是我们加上蜂蜜做成柠檬水，就会很美味哦！”小朋友们快快帮忙把柠檬切成片，加上蜂蜜和温开水，搅一搅，尝一尝，是不是酸甜可口呀？
“How are we supposed to eat the lemon while they’re so sour?” Let’s make them into lemonade with honey! Please help cut them into slices and stir them in water with some honey. Isn’t it delicious?
Yummy Fruits
学习了”apple, banana”, 我们也需要了解“苹果，香蕉“哦！老师准备了精美的中文三段卡，在中文圈圈时间，我们来看一看，都能记住这些汉字吗？
Let’s learn some Chinese characters besides English words. Can you recognize these names of fruits?
蒙特梭利工作时间，让我们来剪一剪，贴一贴，制作自己的水果篮吧！老师们欣喜地发现，小朋友们的手部精细动作有了很大的进步，几乎都能沿着虚线将水果剪下来呢！
In the Montessori time, let’s cut and paste, and make our own fruit basket! The teachers are delighted to find that our children have improved significantly with their fine motor skills that they can all cut the fruits along the dotted lines.
大洋洲是本学期学习的最后一个大洲了。这个远在南半球的大洲，有着奇妙的动物和不一样的风土人情。本周和下周，孩子们都将和老师一起踏上奇妙的大洋洲之旅。
Australasia is the last continent that we learnt this semester. This faraway continent has very unique animals and culture. For this week and next week, children will be on the spectacular trip of exploring Australasia.
蒙特梭利教室里的感官区一直是孩子们光顾最多的区域之一。孩子们的手、眼、耳甚至口鼻在这个区域得到充分的精细化刺激，他们学习分辨大小、长短、轻重，也开始学习立体几何、平面几何。
The Sensorial area is always among the most popular areas in our classroom. Children’s fine senses get fully developed here. They learn to discriminate between big and small, long and short, light and heavy, and also learn about solid geometry and plane geometry.
进入学期末，孩子们对于数学的兴趣日益增长。这不，大一点的孩子们自发开始了“数字卷大比拼”，憋足了劲儿努力书写，想让自己的数字卷最长；小一点的孩子们也开始主动地进行10以内或20以内数与量的练习，这些都将为他们后期的学习打下扎实的基础。
While we’re at the end of the semester, children’s interest with Math is raising rapidly. The older children started a competition of the length of “Number Roll”, and try to make their own longest roll; while the younger children also started to practice numbers and quantities below 20. These works will lay a very important foundation to their further study.
小组学习是蒙特梭利学校孩子的“成长秘诀”之一。自由的蒙特梭利工作时间，孩子们既可以自由地选择自己喜欢的工作，也会在老师的计划安排下，进行小组学习，确保学习的连贯性。老师会掌握孩子的学习进度，让孩子在同伴的陪伴下，获得更高效的学习体验。
Small groups is one of the most important learning method in Montessori schools. In Montessori working time, children can choose their work freely, but will also be guided into small groups by teachers. This will guarantee the consistency of their study, and better efficiency.
