元宵節來臨囉~

Lantern Festival (摘自網路文章)
元宵節的由來
The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.
According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.
Here is a story of Yuanxiao. (元宵)
Long ago, there was a palace maid named Yuanxiao. Yuanxiao was very homesick. She missed her family and wanted to see them, but she could not leave the palace because she was the Emperor’s maid.
But Yuanxiao was very smart and came up with a plan to visit her family. One day, Yuanxiao told the Emperor that the God of Fire visited her and said that he was going to burn down the entire city, and that the only way to stop him was to make it look like the city was already on fire. The Emperor took this warning very seriously. To make the city look like it was on fire, he ordered that bright lanterns be hung all over the city streets, and tons of firecrackers be lit. That evening, the Emperor’s palace and the entire city was filled with activity.
Everyone was busy making and hanging lanterns, and firecrackers were exploding all around. Because everyone was distracted by their work and the noise of the firecrackers, Yuanxiao was able to sneak out of the palace and visit her family for a joyous family reunion.

新年的傳統禮俗(摘自網路)
Traditions of Chinese New Year
Celebrations today are both literal and symbolic.
Spring cleaning (大掃除) is started about a month
prior to the new year and must be completed before
the celebrations begin.
Typically red envelopes (紅包) called “Lai See” with money
tucked inside are given out as a symbol of good luck.
The amount is usually an even number as odd numbers
are regarded as unlucky.
Lions are considered to be good omens.
The lion dance (舞龍舞獅) is believed to repel demons.
Each lion has two dancers, one to maneuver the head,
the other the back. During the New Year celebrations
people do not fight or be mean to each other, as this
would bring a bad, unlucky year.
Foods during the holiday hold symbolism as well.
Typically red meat is not served and one is careful not
to serve or eat from a chipped or cracked plate.
Fish is eaten to ensure long life and good fortune.
Red dates (紅棗) bring the hope for prosperity,
melon seeds (瓜子) for proliferation and lotus seeds
(蓮子) mean the family will prosper through time.
Oranges and tangerines (橘子) symbolize wealth
and good fortune. Nian gao (年糕), the New Year's
Cake is always served. It is believed that the higher
the cake rises the better the year will be.
When company stops by a "prosperity tray" is served.
The tray has eight sides (another symbol of prosperity)
and is filled with goodies like red dates, melon seeds,
cookies and New Year's Cakes.

12/12 The snowman ~ for Christmas

今天上場是"The snowman"這本英文書,
圖書館內也有中文版, 這是Ivy還蠻喜歡
的書喔...因為是Christmas啦, so 就推薦
給所有同學囉~
活動:
1. 故事介紹 ~有許多同學看過這本書,Ivy問了大家看到了什麼
呢?有人說雪人會飛好厲害,還有人把這本無字書當作是漫畫
看耶~Ivy又問大家有沒有感動呢??(這好像有點難耶?)
因為Ivy為了最後的場景~雪人融化了~而James知道自己不
是作夢~這樣的結尾又傷心,又感人....真棒
1. 好聽的歌曲"Walking in the air" 搭配著影片~好感人呀
2. 記憶力大考驗~看看同學記不記得雪人和小男孩James
玩了那些好玩的東西呢?同學的記憶力都超棒喔~好多
人都可以得到星星喔!!! Well done~
3. 這本繪本很紅喔~也有自己的專屬網站"The snowman",
同學有空可以上去玩玩~
The Story :
One winter morning a little boy named James wakes up
to find that everything outside has turned snow-white.
Overjoyed, James rushes downstairs and into the garden,
where he begins to build a snowman. James sleeps fitfully,
and at midnight he wakes up and decides to check on his
snowman. He opens the back door... he can't believe his
eyes... The snowman has come to life! James finds himself
face to face with a smiling snowman, who with a polite doff
of his hat introduces himself and marks the beginning of
magical friendship and marvellous adventure.
一個小男孩和雪人之間的溫暖友情,簡單而真誠,
充滿愉快的相處和驚喜的冒險;雖然第二天雪融了,
小男孩卻知道這一切都是真的,留下了永遠難忘的
記憶。充滿幻想的情節,讓孩子充滿期待,想跟著
雪人一起飛到更高更遠的地方,也學會珍惜所擁有
的一切。
著名插畫家 Raymond Briggs 於1978年所
創作的 The Snowman 如今已成為無字書的經典之
作。 雖然沒有任何文字敘述,但是讀者透過畫格之
間的清楚邏輯連繫,便能輕易地掌握故事的發展。
Briggs 運用了彩色鉛筆來繪製這個作品,巧妙地
以柔和的色彩與光影的變化,娓娓道出一段小男
孩與雪人之間的友情故事。
《雪人》(The Snowman)一書,此書後來被改
編為長達半小時的電視特別節目。這部迷人的影片
獲獎無數,包括英國影藝學院最佳兒童影片和歐洲
Prix Jeunnesse 獎,本片亦榮獲奧斯卡最佳動畫獎
的提名。

本週心得分享 ~ Rain
這週所介紹的書是繪本Rain, 這是一本相當知名又有趣的書,
內容採用豐富的色彩及簡單的文句,讓同學能夠朗朗上口~
活動的設計為朗讀小詩 / 小詩即興創作 / 歌曲教唱
曲名: Rain,rain, go away.
得到的回餽是:
A. 朗讀: 410班所同學們能夠慢慢的練習文句,且帶有念詩的味道,
朗讀的過程中有著令Ivy感動的聲音表情在其中!!!!Well done~
408 有趣的是大家似乎急著將每一句小詩快一點念出來,
所以速度快(可能跟Ivy設定播放速度有關吧,10秒)~又快速又正確
另有一番不一樣的感覺喔~
B. 小詩創作 : 尚未完成,已請同學於下下週12/4, 12/5帶著自己的創
意與彩色筆一起來寫小詩囉~別忘了要有顏色及一件"事物"喔~
Ivy粉期待呢!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

下週要跟同學們玩什麼呢??
今天將最近欠的網誌補一補..........真的不是Ivy故意偷懶啦....這段時間
實在太多事情發生啦~除了Ivy出了小車禍外,婆婆也在最近的旅遊
中意外受傷回台灣開刀住院.........出院後還需要照顧....Ivy只好偷一
下懶現在才"補貨"囉~向Ivy的粉絲們鞠躬道歉......歹勢啦~(台語)
下週的故事時間~Ivy思考了一下,有幾個故事可以分享的,最後再決定
1. Rain (點一下可以聽好聽的歌曲 Rain, Rain, Go Away)
天才小鴨子竟然異想天開的騎起腳踏車啦....會發生
什麼恐怖的事情呢?
還有好多好多有趣的英語繪本喔~別急....別急....Ivy會通通說給你聽~
11/14 Alexander and wind-up mouse

本週介紹給同學們的繪本可是赫赫有名而且得過無數大獎
的書, "Alexander and wind-up mouse" 主角由一隻居家老鼠
Alexander及wind-up老鼠Willy組成,(什麼是wind-up呢?看圖
猜一猜),兩隻不同的老鼠建立了很好的友誼,但是Alexander實
在太羨慕Willy受到主人Anne的疼愛,而自己卻是人見人打的小
老鼠,更羨慕Willy能夠睡在主人又大又白又軟的枕頭上,自己還
要躲在黑暗的老鼠洞中.....如果我能變成跟Willy一樣該有多棒
ㄚ???Alexander呀,別洩氣....聽說呀,彩色的lizard可以幫你實現
願望喔,只要在月圓時拿著pupple的鵝卵石就可以完成願望啦!!
真是太好的消息啦...........Alexander使勁的找,用力的找,最後會
找得到嗎?小老鼠可以成功的變身嗎???還是會有什麼意想不到
的狀況發生呢????想知道精彩結局是什麼嗎???除了410,408的
同學們外,其他人如果想知道就趕快到縣立圖書館借書就可以找
到答案囉~http://lib.tphcc.gov.tw/
(如果你還沒有借書證還是要趕快辦一張吧~)
p.s. : 由於故是內容較長,Ivy為同學稍作改編,大家較容易理解
活動: 在故事之前先做手指謠歌曲教唱,曲目為 "2 little blackbirds"
歌詞為 2 little blackbirds sitting on a hill,
1 named Jack, 1 named Jill,
Fly away Jack, fly away Jill,
Come back Jack, come back Jill.
請同學們伸出左右手的食指,分別為Jack, Jill,再分別做出飛走
的動作(可以飛到背後),然後再飛出來~就完成了!!
可以參考一下影片囉~ http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=I_K-DzL9JwA
(為什麼教這首手指謠呢?因為數量剛好都是2嘛~:> 希望大家
喜歡喔~~
11/07 What pet to get?該養什麼寵物呢?超幽默的書

What Pet to Get? Written & Illustrated by Emma Dodd
The best, most charming answer to every kid's question!
"Let's get a pet," says Jack one day. "I promise I'll look
after it."
But what pet to get?
A crocodile!Too snappy, says Mom.
A lion!A bit too hungry, says Mom.
A shark?Mom worries it won't fit in the bathtub.
A crocodile!Too snappy, says Mom.
A lion!A bit too hungry, says Mom.
A shark?Mom worries it won't fit in the bathtub.
But Jack has one idea so BIG and so SNEAKY, that
even Mom can't say no!
如果你喜歡養寵物,閱讀這本書一定會覺得很有爆點,因為
書中主角Jack一心一意要說服媽媽養一隻夢想中的寵物,
天馬行空,希望將所喜愛的動物帶回家當寵物,其中有恐龍,
獅子,長頸鹿,非洲野牛等等....你所意想不到的動物?????
你能想像打開家中的浴室門卻看到一隻寵物鯊魚正開心的
在家中的浴缸中游來游去嗎???????聰明的媽媽要如何跟
Jack說明養一隻適當的,較沒有野性的動物會比較合適呢?
他們最後會挑到什麼寵物呢??真是太有趣的書啦...希望大
家有機會可以欣賞喔~你也可以發揮想像力耶~
活動內容 :
1. 先跟同學分享養寵物的類別並跟同學分享自己養過的大小寵物~
2. 宣導一下"有負責任的行為才可以養寵物",而且不可以隨便棄養~
3. Guess game : 請同學猜猜,充滿想像力的Jack會提出要養什麼寵物?
同學在聽完故事後都驚呼"太離譜"啦..............怎會想到養這些動物呢?
哈哈哈...............Ivy只能說, "Jack~你真是太神奇啦"
10/31 Holloween
