暑假作业

各位家长，大家好！

希望学生们期末考试都进行的非常顺利，并准备进入愉快的暑假。希望学生们每个星期还可以花一些时间读成语故事，看动画片《西游记》和《少年师爷》，听相声，还有做阅读 。关注中国旅游频道，看看《中国旅游攻略》 ，还有《名胜古迹》，选一选以后想去的地方，说说为什么？如果有时间，学生还可以看纪录片，推荐《舌尖上的中国--第三季》。

谢谢您的支持！祝您和家人暑假愉快！

郭文

下面转发两则学习中文和提高汉语水平的通知：

【一、暑假中文强化班】

各位家长：

为了保持和提高中文学校学生学习中文的兴趣和水平，经过仔细地筹划，中文学校和彩虹学校尝试今年合作，在举办暑假“中文强化班”。彩虹学校地址和联系方式请查看网站：http://www.rbcclife.info

目前的授课计划是从6/16那周开始至8/24号那周截止，一共有十一周。分初，中，高三个班级教学。每周可选上课一次或两次，周中一次课（暂定周三5:00-6:30，可根据招生情况修改），周六（9:00-11:00）。学生收费按周收费，收费标准是：只选周六课，15$/周；只选周中课，10$/周；选择两节课，25$/周。请大家第一次上课时把应交课时费交给彩虹学校的赵老师。

以上的收费标准是根据前期的survey统计结果，仔细计算得出来的，刚刚能满足收支平衡，请家长们理解支持。大家在哪里也找不到2个小时只收取15$课时费的其它活动了。我们校委之间一直开玩笑说，中文对孩子最重要，可能今后上大学，找工作都用得到，可是大家在中文上花的钱却比所有其它的活动都要少[呲牙]

网上报名表格如下：

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1o3SdpKmukd_dg_X8I38AQo9QTRGRNJjZSuJUzn2jJF4

中文学校第一次办这样的班，困难很多，也可能考虑不周，但是为了孩子们可以在暑假当中仍然有机会继续学习中文，我们打算做一次这样的尝试！

如果您对课程安排有任何问题，请联系我或者彩虹学校的常老师。谢谢大家理解和支持！

【二、作文大赛通知】

感谢大家百忙中抽空参加我们周五联络中心会议。关于全美中文学校协会与《侨报》协办的中文比赛，请各位联络中心负责人尽快把昨天协会发出的通知转到各地中文学校。此次活动总负责人是汤年发总干事。12个具体承办初赛与复赛的联络中心可以把承办预算上报我们协会理事会审批。下面是比赛具体细则。

报名链接：https://goo.gl/forms/9mLtzUnB7PmxPwXf2 

本届是侨报第七年组织作文比赛。原来组织进行的大纽约地区，新泽西，费城，大华府，波士顿，芝加哥地区，南北卡7个赛区初赛，复赛仍由各地《侨报周末》负责。这7个地方的联络中心主要负责把我发出的通知转到你们当地学校。

其余十二个联络中心需要组织初赛和复赛。负责的工作具体如下：

1. 初赛阶段，联络中心负责发动，组织所在区域中文学校学生参加大赛，在线填写报名表，收集各区参赛者作文，登记汇总。

2. 对初赛作文进行评判，选出各赛区进入复赛的选手，选手人数届时按照参赛区域人数比列决定。

3. 复赛作文以现场写命题作文的方式进行。命题由侨报及全美中文学校协会协商决定。当天由侨报送交各考场

4. 复赛由联络中心分别负责，并派人现场监考。复赛时选手在自带的电脑上写作，复赛结束后，各联络中心负责人在当天规定时间内把文章通过网络发送到侨报指定地点。侨报负责组织专家评审，安年龄组评出一，二，三等奖。侨报和全美中文学校协会分别在所负责的赛区颁奖。

5. 次年1月，在纽约举行总决赛，总决赛有选手自我介绍、演讲和中华文化知识抢答题环节。网络人气各地第一名的选手通过才艺表演，争夺才艺表演第一、二、三名。奖品：每个年龄组分一、二、三等奖。一等奖价值500元奖品，二等奖价值300元奖品，三等奖价值200元奖品。

各位主任如果有同比赛有关的问题，请与我们联系。

感谢各地联络中心负责人对我协会工作的支持！

顺祝夏安！
