國寶銀行成功為僑校申請政府「薪資保護貸款計畫」

中華公所主席于金山於今(8)日中午12時親赴國寶銀行簽署聯邦政府的「薪資保護貸款計畫」(PPP),並感謝長期以來資助紐約華僑學校。
本案經于主席親自指導僑校,於第一時間內藉由國寶銀行董事長孫儀芬及總裁孫儀文的專業協助下,以一星期作業時間即獲得政府的審查通過。是項資助可用於僑校人事及行政經費,對於非營利事業機構的紐約華僑學校亦是一大助力。于主席表示僑校歷史悠久,建校源自1909年,初設校址於Mott 街天主堂,服務社區子弟為該校立校之宗旨。其表示很高興藉由國寶銀行的協助順利獲得是項專款。該款取之於政府,用之於中華語言及文化的推廣,格具特殊意義。僑校將按照規定,75%用於支付教職員薪水、25%則用來支付水電等雜費支出。于主席對於現階段學生實施網路課程學生出席率及成果表示滿意,期僑校學生都能夠珍惜學習的機會,未來有能力並回饋社區及國家。

雖遇風暴、僑校服務社區子弟精神不變

邁向歷史111年的紐約華僑中文學校在新冠疫情紐約市教育局宣布停課前,已預先辦理師資網路培訓工作,3月15日即刻實施網路教學。目前已經進入第三週學生出席率約八成;但有的班級參與度達100%。校長王憲筠表示雖在疫情風暴的肆虐下,但在董事長于金山主席及全體董事指導下,藉由網路科技,秉持僑校的傳統及宗旨,並沒有因為外在的困境而停滯不前,現階段實施成效良好。其中最主要感謝的是全體老師、僑校行政團隊同仁、義工、家長和學生的共同努力及不斷地溝通協調下,共克艱難。

網路教學對於僑校師生來說都是新的嘗試及挑戰。對於低年級的學生,家長必須抽空全程陪同小孩和協助老師。低年級學生藉由唱歌、跳舞、畫畫、說故事、自我介紹等活動主題,在老師視訊指導下上課;雖說臨場應變沒有實際上課一樣的效果,但仍然可以不斷求新求變及進步。僑校老師完成了從對着學生講課到對着攝像頭授課的轉變,學生適應了從與同學一起在課室到一個人對着電腦屏幕上課的變化。這樣的轉變是歷史的創新,也是傳統僑校走在時代先驅的最佳見證。

除了感謝僑校老師及家長們的大力支持與配合之下,並感謝駐紐約僑教中心主任黃政傑、副主任林威廷的支持,提供每一位學生免費「華語向前走」數位教科書及全球華文教材輔助系統。我們才可順利實現網路課程的使命!

111 years old New York Chinese School has already trained their teachers how to conduct online classes before the NY Department of Education announced the suspension of in-person classes due to the coronavirus situation. Online classes were implemented on March 15. At present, online courses have entered the third week, with student attendance rate about 80%; some classes participation rate have reached 100%. Principal Wang said that despite the turmoil of the epidemic, under the guidance of Chairman Yu and the Board of Directors, with the help of Internet technology, the tradition and purpose of New York Chinese School have not been hindered due to external difficulties. The implementation at this stage has achieved good results. We send most important thanks to the joint efforts of all the teachers, colleagues of the administrative team of the New York Chinese School, volunteers, parents and students, and continuous communication and coordination to overcome the difficulties.

Online teaching is a new method and challenge for teachers and students of overseas Chinese schools. For lower grade students, parents must take the time to accompany the child and assist the teacher throughout the lesson. The students in the lower grades take classes under the guidance of the teacher's video through activities such as singing, dancing, painting, storytelling, and self-introduction. Although on-the-spot response does not have the same effect as the actual in-person class, it can still continue to prompt innovation and growth. The teachers of New York Chinese School have completed the transition from lectures to students to lectures to the camera. The students have adapted to the changes from being in the classroom with their classmates to attending via the computer screen. Such a change is a historical innovation, and it is also the best testimony that the traditional overseas Chinese schools are pioneers of the times.

In the last two weeks of online classes, teachers and students communicated face-to-face online in real time. Teachers provided a learning environment similar to the classroom as much as possible and combined the unique teaching of Chinese classes with online teaching. Online courses have rich teaching resources and diverse media, and teachers can easily obtain and share them. For a better learning experience, teachers attached audio and extended pictures of textbooks and new words to each lesson, showing the teaching content and documents to students in real time, with annotations and explanations.


























































紐約華僑學校網路教學已開辦 New York Chinese School Teachers Learn How to Run Online Courses

為顧及全校學生及老師安全,紐約華僑學校董事長于金山及全體董事同意自14日起實施階段性停課五周 (至4月19日)。華僑學校校長王憲筠表示若疫情讓整個學期都無法到校學習情況下,網路課程教學替代方案自本周開跑。昨14日前來受訓的老師們學習如何操作電腦執行網路課程,並依據華語向前跑線上內容進行網路教學。
惟網路學習仍其侷限不足之處,為儘可能減低影響學生學習成效,除老師持續與家長個別聯繫如何操作網路視訊教學外,並邀請家長一同参與及協助貴子弟學習。是項軟體也可以安裝在手機上。王憲筠表示網路課程能夠進行如此順利,這是要歸功於華僑學校捐贈電腦教室的個別善心人士及洪門致公堂伍煥鵬總顧問伉儷、中華公所前主席協勝伍銳賢總理、中華總商會李可喬董事長、李氏公所李國威主席等僑團代表、紐約華僑文教中心、國寶銀行及國泰銀行等機構的支持。另感謝家長們的理解,僑校係非營利社區服務學校,全體董事會業同意考慮下學期學費減免90元(依現行註冊退費規定;若辦理退費,係30%),以鼓勵學生繼續學習中文。

In consideration for the safety of students and teachers, New York Chinese School Chairman Yu and the entire Board of Directors approved a five-week suspension, from March 14th to April 19th. NYCS Principal Wang states that if the situation turns into a state that no longer permits the students to continue attending school for the rest of the semester, the online course alternative program will commence this week. On March 14th, teachers were trained on how to conduct an online course, teaching based on online Chinese language textbooks and workbooks. However, we fully understand that online teaching will have limits on its effectiveness. Hence, in addition to teachers providing content and advice to parents, we encourage parents to participate in teaching their children. The software being utilized, Zoom, can be installed on devices. Principal Wang states the online courses can be smoothly carried out, thanks to charitable people and organizations donating funds to install computers in every classroom and furnishing a computer lab. Thank you Chinese FreeMasons Association General Counsellor Wu and his wife, Former CCBA Chairman Ng, Chinese General Chamber of Commerce Chairman Li, Li’s Family Association Chairman Li, representatives from overseas Chinese Organizations, Culture Center of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York, Abacus Federal Savings Bank and Cathay Bank. We would also like to thank parents and students for their understanding. New York Chinese School is a non-profit community service school. The Board of Directors agreed to consider a $90 tuition fee reduction for the next semester (based on the current registration refund rules; if the refund is processed, the department will pay 30%) to encourage students to continue studying Chinese.

Abacus Bank plans to help New York Chinese school update the computers and security monitoring system Abacus bank chairman Mr. Thomas Sung has recently discussed with CCBA (Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association) President Eric Ng and the New York Chinese School Principle Jennifer Wang, about updating the teaching equipment for the New York Chinese School. According to Principle Wang and CCBA President Eric Ng’s confirmation, there are 17 classrooms in the school, and each of which needs to be equipped with computers, projectors, big screens, video cameras and microphones. The whole set of equipment can help teachers get the online teaching materials; and help students participate the class through internet if the students could not make to the classroom. Even for students from different cities, they can take the New York Chinese School online classes. The whole set of equipment will not only improves the teaching efficiency of the school, makes the class more interesting, but also provides great convenience to students, and expands the scope of education for the school. At present, the school has 1000 students, and with the help of these new technologies and new equipment, the scope of teaching of the schools has been expanded without geographic limits. Abacus bank chairman Mr. Sung said the purpose of the bank is not only serving the community’s financial need. We also like to help with the community in terms of education. Therefore, Mr. Sung takes the needs of the school very seriously, and is willing to sponsor the upgrade of the computer equipment.

President Wang also mentioned that the security monitoring system of the school has been in place for more than 20 years and is way too old. If there is no good security detection system, there is no security for the newly installed computer teaching equipment. At the same time, the safety of students is also very important. As a result, the security monitoring system needs to be updated too. The school will need to install 32 new security cameras, two NVRs, and four computer screens, including labors, a total of $14,000. This fee will also be prepared by Abacus Bank Chairman Mr. Sung and will be paid to the school, which will be paid under the supervision of CCBA President’s in accordance with the budget.

紐約華僑學校期末展演賀新年

紐約華僑學校於1月18日及19日兩天分別舉行2019秋季班期末展演,全校師生莫不歡欣鼓舞的為此次節目做準備,當天中山大禮堂座無虛席,家長們對於這次的表演紛紛表示讚賞及無比的欣慰。

校長王憲筠表示學習中文非常困難,尤其是華裔第三代、第四代接觸中文機會較少,但到了紐約華僑學校,由於老師的專業知識及認真態度,學生的中文程度進步不少,對此家長們對於校方所做的努力給予熱烈的掌聲以示肯定。王校長再度表示家長為何選擇紐約華僑學校:1、紐約華僑學校具備整潔、衞生及安全的校園,這是我們的優勢,我們有美麗的校園。2、紐約華僑學校提供每位畢業生奬學金從小學、初中及高中分別為$100、$300至$1000不等,這是伍鋭賢董事長捐出二年中華公所主席的薪資及其友人雲吞公司黃青新創辦人的德政3、質量不斷的提升:紐約華僑學校除持續與哥大教師學院Columbia Teachers College, 亨特學院Hunter College, 紐約市立大學City College, 布魯克林高中Hope Club, Camba, Baruch High School 等義工團隊合作外,最近更延聘具公立教師證照多位教師,預計分別開辦四年級至六年級免費英文實驗班及數學實驗班,期待為社區華裔子弟做最佳的服務。4、紐約華僑學校近期並邀請New York City Charter School of Arts 該校藝術系主任主持繪畫班,提升繪畫技能。5、歡迎7歲以上的小朋友免費參加具70年代的鼓樂隊。連續二天的展演活動,節目個個精彩萬分,其中遊子吟朗讀,發人深省母愛的偉大;並頒發紐約華僑學校義工奬狀,以資鼓勵。得獎的義工包括王萍、王靜雙胞姊妹引人關注,兩姊妹全力投入糾察隊工作外,並為校園整潔付出心力。

New York Chinese held the end of the 2019 Fall Semester weekend class on January 18th and 19th. Teachers and students of the whole school were happy to prepare for the Semester Show. The auditorium was full of appreciative parents showing their support.

Principal Wang talked about the difficulty of learning Chinese for 3rd and 4th generational children of Chinese descent and how NYCS’s teachers utilize their professional knowledge and serious attitude to uplift the level of their students’ Chinese. Principal Wang went over why New York Chinese School is a top pick for parents: NYCS is a clean learning environment, offers scholarships for graduates, is continually improving its quality of teachers, is striving to offer more diverse classes, and offers free admission to Crimson Kings, a marching band corp with over 70 years of history. NYCS has employed teachers and assistants from New York City Charter School of Arts, Columbia Teachers College, Hunter College, Hunter College, City College of New York, Brooklyn High School Hope Club, Camba, Baruch High School and other volunteer teams.

孫啟誠捐款5000 助僑校升級設施
為鼓勵華裔學子學好中文、幫助紐約華僑學校開啟語言教學電腦教室,國寶銀行創辦人及董事長孫啟誠繼去年捐款後,26日再捐贈5000元教學輔助金給華僑學校,支持學校各項目發展。
孫啟誠26日攜兩個女兒到紐約中華公所,捐贈5000元教學輔助金;他指出自己創辦國寶銀行的初衷就是為服務社區,如今更希望通過投資教育服務社區。他1964年初到華埠社區時,就曾幫助華僑學校制定章程,與該校淵源深遠。
孫啟誠得知學校近年來進行了諸多改革,引進了很多現代化教學設備,但學費基本沒有調漲;他說,教育對於每個家庭都十分重要,華僑學校讓很多移民子女有機會學中文,於是決定自己出資幫助學校發展,希望通過多媒體等技術平台的運用,讓更多學生受益。
中華公所主席伍銳賢與孫啟誠相識40多年,他表示孫啟誠對僑社貢獻非常多,其出資出力對孩子們是一種鼓勵。
紐約華僑學校校長王憲筠代表全校師生感謝孫啟誠的幫助,讓更多孩子受益於教學設施的升級;她表示,本月28日學校啟用語言教學電腦教室,提供音聽訓練,這樣省去學生遠赴亨特學院教室接受這項訓練所需花費的路程時間和費用。
王憲筠還指出,目前學校有約800名學生,年齡從4至18歲,還設有成人班,為接送小孩來學中文的家長提供中文課程。
















華僑學校書法比賽

      紐約華僑學校於日前在曼哈頓華埠舉行「2019年紐約華僑學校書法比賽」,透過比賽習字,讓學生體驗文字結構、鍛鍊耐心,吸引共51名學生報名參加,並於其中選出前三名及佳作學生表揚。
此次比賽共分為四年級臨摹組、五六年級和初中組,以及高年級組共三組;初高年級組得獎者的學生白蓮、白鷺來自美國家庭,由於母親對對中國文化和中文有濃厚的興趣,家中九個女兒從小就將中文當作第一母語學習。
白蓮和白鷺表示,從小媽媽教導她們不但要學習中文,也要學習中華文化,因此像是扯鈴、民族舞蹈及書法等才藝也都有涉獵,此次參加比賽,主辦方形容她們的書法「鏗鏘有力,將中文字之美表現得淋漓盡致。」

紐約華僑學校學生真是幸運兒
為讓僑校學生了解先僑的奮鬥史及中華文化的博大精深,中華公所主席兼紐約華僑學校董事長伍銳賢先生親洽MOCA (Museum of Chinese in America) 嘉惠僑校學生及家長得免費參訪美國華人博物館事。伍董事長表示免費對象除華僑學校學生外,另在六十僑團名單內的團體,均可免費入場。伍董事長本人一直以來,將其中華公所的薪資全數捐獻給僑校畢業基金外,近日決定為慶祝僑校110 年建校誌慶,畢業獎勵金發放資格將由就讀屆滿三年縮短為兩年: 國小六年級(美制6年級)畢業生獎勵金100元、初中三年級(美制9年級) 300元、高中三年級 (美制12年級)  1000元;對高中生來說,更是一大福音,若是修畢紐約華僑學校兩年(高二、高三)課程 ,即可獲得畢業獎勵金1000元 。另全新的電腦教室本學期始啟用,除語言學習外,並協助課後班高年級學生完成回功課,獲得全校學生的喜愛。校長王憲筠表示,除感謝伍董事長及僑團董事們持續的熱心奉獻及支持外,希望學生了解,紐約華僑學校是中華公所60個僑團設立以服務社區為宗旨的學校,學生也能效法其奉獻精神,致力中華文化的傳承,回饋社會。
               To give overseas Chinese students an opportunity to learn and understand the history of the struggles of early Chinese and the profoundness of Chinese culture, NYCS students, their parents, as well as members of the 60 organizations of CCBA have been given free admission to visit the Museum of Chinese in America.
This semester, the Computer Lab is now available for use by classes in order to greatly improve the learning process.
To celebrate the 110th year since the school building’s construction completion, the graduation requirement of three years will be shortened to two years. The graduation reward for primary school will be 100 dollars. For junior high school graduates it will be 300 dollars. For high school graduates it will be 1000 dollars. For high school graduates, by completing the two years needed for graduation, only 50 dollars will have been paid per semester for classes when accounting for the graduation reward. This price is far below the price other competitor Chinese schools. The graduation funds was generously initiated by Eric Ng, Chairman of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association and Chairman of the Overseas Chinese School. He has generously contributed his entire salary ever since his first inauguration as CCBA president. New York Chinese School hopes that NYCS students can give back to the school and Chinese community once they become adults and wishes that they continue to promote Chinese culture.

華僑學校祭孔大典
由紐約中華公所和紐約華僑學校舉辦的第14屆祭孔大典28日在曼哈頓華埠舉行,身穿春秋祭孔服飾的學生向至聖先師孔子致意,在僑校創辦110周年之際藉吟唱「禮運大同篇」傳承中華文化,學習尊師重道的重要。
華僑學校董事長、中華公所主席伍銳賢表示,28日是孔子2570歲的誕辰,他有教無類的思想準則一直沿用至今,而中華公所一向以發揚中華文化為己任,祭祀典禮可讓華裔學子不忘仁義禮智信的的儒家「五常」。
駐紐約台北經濟文化辦事處處長徐儷文說,中華公所百年來透過教育、祭孔典禮等,身體力行的為學生建立做人處事的態度與準則,這些潛移默化的影響和孔子的儒家文化相輔相成。
華僑學校校長王憲筠則以「感動驕傲」四字形容學生的表演,也是她上任後第二次主辦該活動;她表示,在祭孔典禮前學生僅花了兩周學習,就能看到如此成果,而學生不僅學習到跳佾舞等傳統祭祀舞蹈儀式,更學習到中華文化之美。
王憲筠還在現場表彰了12名僑校教師,並為其發放表揚狀,其中最長教任教時間為40年,紐約華裔美國退伍軍人會主席朱超然也位列表彰教師內;他於去年9月起在校義務教授功夫課程,每周兩次,風雨無阻。
當天典禮由伍銳賢擔任正獻官,紐約台山寧陽會館主席曾偉康、美東聯成公所主席黃達良擔任分獻官,其餘七大僑團僑領則為陪祭官;紐約華僑文教服務中心主任黃正杰、副主任葉帝余、經文處教育組主任楊敏玲也出席。

    為培養學生正確理財觀念,紐約華僑中文學校與國寶銀行於今(7)日舉辦「學生理財講座」,由國寶銀行總裁孫儀文(Jill Sung)親自授課。
講座中,孫儀文為華僑學校五、六年級同學們量身訂做內容,以生動有趣的圖片及遊戲方式吸引青少年的注意力,講述金融和理財知識點,加深學生對正確運用金錢的觀念,提高學生對基本財務知識與理財技能的認識、以培養年輕一代正確的理財態度。期間學生們互動熱烈,結束時紛紛表示獲益良多。
   校長王憲筠認為理財教育對五、六年級學生來說,是學習成長過程中重要環節之一;對個人生涯規劃及未來家庭組織都非常重要。王校長表示這次能夠邀請到孫總裁蒞臨是難能可貴的機會,除感謝孫總裁精闢分析家庭理財的觀念外,也希望藉由社區的主要合作機構,為學生提供多元化的教育講座,以提升學生全方位的人格特質,為未來的人生奠定成功的規劃。

New York Chinese School 2018 Storytelling Contest 
2018年華僑學校講故事比賽開鑼

2018年紐約華僑學校講故事比賽於今(一)日在該校五樓體育館舉行,參賽學生分四梯次,區分一年級至三年級、四年級至六年級、初中組及高中組。此次參賽者計56位同學,在全校師生共同努力下,同學們一一展現辛苦演練的成果,背誦如流,生動活潑的展現,贏得台下家長及同學們無數的掌聲。

參賽者均自信滿滿地展現自我實力。初中組Selina Mei 題目為感恩,其中提到其爸媽為新移民家庭,家長日夜不繼的辛勤工作,讓人感動萬分。另目前在華僑學校學習中文的五姐妹之一高中組Lee Berat 感恩母愛,提到由於其母親為了要讓他們學習到中華文化,所以她們姊妹們從小沉浸於中文,讓她有機會瞭解東方文化之美,她非常感恩她的媽媽。

校長王憲筠認為學習中文本來就是很困難的事,甚至對於沒有任何中文基礎各族裔小孩子們更是困難。能夠上台已經相當不容易了,所以這一次每一位上台的小孩子都需要鼓勵與讚美。不在乎得名,而在乎提升學習中文的興趣;在她認為只要是參賽者,人人都是第一名,因此除了前三名外,優等獎以資鼓勵。王憲筠並表示,營造快樂的學習環境是該校目前重點工作之一,而如何提升學生學習中文的興趣更是華僑學校最迫切的努力方向。本年度講故事比賽活動,獲得全校師生及家長的熱烈參與,活動圓滿成功。

The New York Chinese School Storytelling/Speech Contest was held on Sunday, December 1st at our Fifth Floor Gymnasium. Fifty-six students divided into four divisions (first through third grade, fourth through sixth, middle school, and high school) competed for first, second, third, and honorary mention, respectively. Following countless hours of memorization, practice, and guidance from their instructors, participants shared their stories with an anticipative body of parents, fellow peers, and administrative faculty. Each performance was met with fanfare—an expression of acknowledgment to each courageous student willing to grace the stage.

Following the contest theme of "Thanksgiving," Selina Mei of the middle school division voiced her appreciation for her immigrant parents who worked tirelessly to provide for her education. Lee Berat of the high school division, whose four siblings are also enrolled in New York Chinese School, expressed her eternal gratitude to her mother who afforded them the opportunity to appreciate the beauty and mystique of Chinese culture and education from an early age.

Principal Wang believes learning the Chinese language is an inherently challenging endeavor, much less learning it as a second language. Therefore, she believes every student who took to the stage is worthy of praise and encouragement. Moreover, the purpose of the event transcends competition, principally serving to reinforce or pique children's interest in Chinese culture and language. Principal Wang regards positive learning environment, value-creation, and by extension, methods to pique interest in the language and culture as paramount to her strategic vision and direction. 

All things considering, the 2018 Storytelling/Speech contest was well attended and received by parents, faculty, and peers alike.

The Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association was the host and principal organizer of the annual Double Ten Parade in Manhattan's Chinatown on October 10, 2018, which celebrated the 109th Anniversary of the Republic of China (Taiwan). An upwards of 1000 participants from 60 troupes/organizations, divided into six groups, set off from Mott Street and paraded through the prominent streets of Chinatown: Canal Street, Bowery Street, Bayard Street, East Broadway, Mulberry Street, etc. The various dragon/lion dance troupes in the parade made a spectacle for tourists and local passerby alike. Guests and dignitaries who walked in the parade
gleefully and proudly waved Republic of China flags while greeting surrounding spectators.

A statement from Principal Jennifer Wang:

New York Chinese School's very own students participated in the Double Ten parade: 24 of whom participated in the dragon dance team, and 26 in the Crimson Kings Drum, Fife, and Bugle Corps. "Our students are all voluntary participants, and many have participated in years past. They all received rich performance experience." The New York Crimson Kings has a proud history of 65 years and student members value the annual opportunity to perform in Manhattan's Chinatown during Taiwan National Day.

為振興唐人街華埠餐館及周邊生意,紐約華僑學校4歲幼低班Amelia及其成人中文班的媽媽

Karen Jackson共同𢹂手參加紐約唐人街掃街活動。
https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2020/07/23/chinatown-community-organizes-neighborhood-cleanup-to-keep-streets-clean-for-curbside-dining/
Karen Jackson表示目前是主流學校的英文教師及主管,並在紐約華僑學校就讀,其4歲女兒Amelia 目前是華僑學校中文班及舞蹈班的學生;她感謝紐約華僑學校董事長于金山提供免費夏季班的網路課程,深刻感受到在疫情非常時期,紐約華僑學校給予社區的溫暖。所以,此次特別帶她的女兒Amelia 一同參加曼哈頓華埠居民組織每週一次的街道大清洗掃街活動,以回饋唐人社區。

紐約華僑學校日前收到由Rule of Law Foundation III公司贈送的清潔用品、洗手液、口罩、消毒紙巾等,希望待校園開放後,可提供給社區學子一個乾淨、安全無虞的讀書環境。

華僑學校在全美李氏美東總長、紐約李氏總分所主席李國威的協助下,獲得Rule of Law Foundation III贈送的清潔用品,捐贈儀式由該公司董事長Max Krasner及經理Grace Yang主持。

校長王憲筠說,在疫情階段,僑校除了持續提升教學品質外,也重視保持校園清潔;她表示,這些防疫用品將更能夠保護學生的安全,期待當校園重啟後,繼續為社區提供更優良、安全的服務。

我們上課活潑生動有趣 Our Classroom Activities Are Fun

在上兩週的網絡課上,老師和學生在線面對面地進行實時交流,老師儘可能提供近似课室的學習環境並將中文課的獨特教學性和線上教學結合在一起。網課的教學資源豐富,媒體多樣,老師易於獲取和分享;爲了更好的學習效果,老師給每課的課文和生詞附上了音頻以及教材延伸的圖片。並且實時地將教學的內容與文檔展示給學生,附上批註詮釋。

中文作爲表意文字,可惜網絡課程並不能展示板書,但僑校老師在線上平臺上彌補了這一不足,例如通過運用一些展示筆順的網站及視頻對學生起到示範作用。老師不斷探索和爲了提高教學質量及學習效果,綜合運用多種形式進行課件和教學呈現。目前學生已上了一段時間的網課,在無法到校上課的情況下,各方面已經進入狀態。

Chinese utilizes an ideogram. Unfortunately, online courses do not display blackboard writing, but New York Chinese school teachers make up for this deficiency on the online platform, for example, by using some websites and videos showing stroke order to demonstrate to students. Teachers continue to explore and in order to improve the teaching quality and learning effect, comprehensively use a variety of forms to present courseware and teaching. At present, students have been taking online courses for some time. 

In addition to thanking the teachers and parents of Overseas Chinese School for their great support and cooperation, We also once again appreciate the support of Director Huang and Deputy Director Lin of the New York Overseas Chinese Education Center, providing each student with a free "Let’s Learn Chinese" digital textbook and global Chinese Teaching material auxiliary system. Only then can we achieve the mission of the online course!


Subject: Outstanding Teachers!
To: principalwang@nychineseschool.org <principalwang@nychineseschool.org>

Hello Principal Wang,
Hope this email finds you well. I just thought you should know how amazing your teachers are. Specifically 江老師 and Ms. Rebecca Frank. My daughter, A♡  attends Ms. Jiang’s chinese class Saturday mornings and Ms. Frank’s art class in the afternoon. They are both such encouraging and positive teachers.
 Audrey, truly enjoys both of their classes. We were only considering the school for virtual classes but we might have to venture out to Chinatown every weekend when this is all over. 
It is hard enough to teach little ones virtually but Ms. Jiang and Ms.Frank does it with such grace. We’ve tried other schools and teachers closer to us but these two teachers are simply outstanding. I am so grateful for all of the encouragement that they gave A [❤] ️so far to make her excited for the next class.  
Thank you. 
Jackie Jiang (A [❤] ’  mom)

Hi 校長:
希望你很好。我只是想你應該知道你的老師有多麼出色。特別是江老師和麗貝卡·弗蘭克女士。我的女兒A♡星期六早上參加江老師的中文課,下午參加弗蘭克女士的美術課。他們都是令人鼓舞和積極的老師。 我的女兒真的很喜歡他們的兩個班級。原先我們只是考慮學校參加這個學期的網路課程;但也許以後到了周末,我們可能不得不每個週末都去唐人街冒險。 網路教學是很困難的,但是江老師和弗蘭克老師是如此的出色。我們嘗試過距離我們更近的其他學校和老師,但是我們選擇了這兩位非常棒的老師。我非常感謝這兩位老師的鼓勵及教導,我的女兒迫不及待的期待下一次的上課。
謝謝你!
Jackie Jiang (A [❤] ’  mom)

In early August, the sisters Landry Berat and Langley Berat, representing New York Chinese School, partook in the 2020 Mandarin Public Speaking and Multimedia Orientation Competition, held by the National Council of Association of Chinese Language Schools (NCACLS has 15 member regions across USA, with nearly 80,000 students in total). They placed first in the senior grade level group for the National Multimedia Orientation Competition. This year, about 30 schools participated, with 100 students competing under the oversight of 20 judges. Six schools participated in the finals, with New York Chinese School placing first, Seattle Chinese School placing second, Fremont Chinese School placing third, with Westwood Chinese School, Lexington Chinese School, and Silicon Valley Chinese School all receiving Merit Awards. NYCS Principal Wang states that since the suspension of in-person classes in March, the entire Berat family have been attending NYCS online classes, continually practicing Chinese. Hence, all eight sisters entered the competition, with Landry Berat and Langley Berat entering the finals. With their project, “Idioms, Allusions, and Culture will forever be spread!”, first place was achieved. All eight sisters of the Berat family have been studying at NYCS since elementary school. All of them are exquisitely talented, placing highly in Chinese speech and singing competitions, performing well in  areas of calligraphy, dance, yo-yo, and Kung Fu, continually bringing supreme honor to NYCS. The Berat family sisters also established that non-Chinese families can also be proficient in Chinese. The precious experience of studying at New York Chinese School is destined to become a precious treasure in the future. With the exemplar model set by the Berat sisters' learning achievements, I hope to encourage more students to actively participate in various competitions, while simultaneously promoting Chinese culture, and bringing more honor to the school.

8月上旬白鷺(Landry Berat),白蕾 (Langley Berat) 姐妹代表紐約華僑學校參賽全美中文學校聯合總會(NCACLS全美15個地區,學生成員近80,000人)舉辦的「2020國語演講和多媒體簡報比賽」,榮獲全美多媒體簡報比賽高年級組第一名的好成績。據悉本年送件參賽學校約30所,近百人報名參賽,競爭激烈;在全美20幾位評審核下奪冠。多媒體簡報決賽獲獎學校計六組,除紐約華僑學校名列第一外,另有西雅圖華文學校、費利蒙中文學校、費利蒙中文學校、矽谷中文學校及麻州勒星頓中文學校分別獲得第二名及第三名及優等獎。華僑學校校長王憲筠表示, 自從疫情3月份實體停課以來,白家八個女兒除了認真參加華僑學校的網路課程外,並努力不懈的刻苦練習,因此八姐妹都進入決賽,而白鷺 (Landry Berat), 白蕾 (Langley Berat)期間一路過關斬將。在比賽中,聲情並茂地演講了《成語和典故,文化永流傳! 》,最終榮獲一等獎!白家八姐妹自小學始不間斷的在紐約華僑學校就讀,個個才藝精湛,除中文演講、歌唱比賽外,另書法、舞蹈、溜溜球、功夫等,亦是表現優異,為僑校帶來至高無上的榮譽。白家姐妹更樹立非華裔家庭學習中文亦可同樣的表現優異,超群出眾。在華僑學校學習的寶貴經歷,註定成為日後人生中無形的財富。藉由白家姐妹學習成果樹立的典範,希望鼓勵更多僑校學生積極參與各項比賽,除宣揚中華文化外,並獲得更多的榮譽。
