Hello, September
After a long summer, do you miss your friends in the classroom? Are you tired of “lying flat” at home? With the cool breeze, the new learning cycle and autumn have quietly come to us. How’s Auesome Place? How are your friends? Let's have a preview!
Before the end of the last learning cycle, we held a grand first anniversary celebration for Auesome Place. Many friends came here to celebrate for us. For a time, it was lively and bustling here. The warm and moving picture just feels like yesterday, and our hearts are still immersed in joy and happiness. With the arrival of September, Auesome Place has changed back to that neat and warm learning garden. Photos and works of our first summer camp activities are now displayed at the door. These works help us freeze the happiness and delightfulness of the memorized past.
There are still a few days before the formal start of the new learning cycle, but the teachers are already ready! Let’s see what they’ve been up to?
The cleaning lady is cleaning & disinfecting the classroom.
Why do teachers bother to design and arrange the environment and facilities of the center? I believe many people know the Chinese idiom story “Mother Meng relocated three times”. Mencius’ mother moved again and again to find a place suitable for his life and study. They finally settled their home next to the school. Mencius could see knowledgeable teachers and diligent students every day, so he studied like them, and finally became a great thinker. This story is enough to illustrate the importance of environment to people’s learning and growth. At Auesome Place, we hope that the equipment, facilities and graphic decoration here can play an educational role, so we continue to adjust and optimize them.
Although there is no student in class, the teachers still have tight schedules. As we all know, the time that people can keep focused is limited, so rest and adjustment are required for high work efficiency. Want to know how teachers adjust themselves to keep working efficiently? The secret is to do a 7-minute yoga practice together. During the practice, teachers empty their minds and focus on breathing as well as feeling their own bodies. “Combining work and leisure together” is an important way to maintain physical and mental balance. Here’s a little “spoiler” for you: in terms of the time arrangement of our new learning cycle, we have increased time for physical activities. Hopefully, this change could help both our teachers and students relax, so that they could keep focused and better devote themselves to learning.
At the beginning of this new learning cycle, our teachers have carefully selected and purchased books for our Auesome Library. We also hope to share our book resources with more members of the Auesome Community. Because in books, there are more and richer worlds waiting for “Auesomer” to explore together.
As you’ve read it this far, I bet you are just like me, eager to say “I’m coming” to the new learning cycle!
