As teachers, we want to help your child develop in the best way; each child is unique and has different personalities, skills, and strengths. One of the best things about being a teacher is finding that uniqueness and encouraging each child to find and develop their passions in life.

作为教师，我们希望帮助您的孩子以最好的方式得到发展。每个孩子都是独一无二的个体，每个人都有着不同的性格特点、技能和优势。成为教师后最让人兴奋的一点，就是可以和孩子一起发现他们的独特之处，并鼓励孩子不断挖掘并深化他们对生活抱有热情的方面。

Your child’s all – round development is also important to their progress and adaptation to the modern day world. It’s important to note that all children develop in different skills sets at different speeds. Considering what strengths they have and giving a lot of encouragement and positive feedback will enable them to feel more confident and have self-belief, and will enable them to develop more strongly across all areas.

在当今世界，每个孩子的全人发展对于他们的成长十分关键。每个孩子擅长的领域不同，进步的速度不一。我们能做的，就是发现他们的优势和特长，给予他们鼓励和积极的反馈，助力他们变得更加自信，这样他们才能更好地在各个方面得以发展。

Equally, if you only give your child “catch up” classes in areas they are “weak”, then this will filter into their mind that they are not good at anything, and that study is hard. It is important to stimulate your child’s mind and give them classes also in subjects that they do enjoy and excel at, to give them positive experiences and confident self-expression.

也就是说，如果我们过于纠结在孩子相对来说 “弱势”的领域，总是在这些方面给他们“补课”的话，那么孩子就很可能会觉得自己什么都做不好，慢慢对学习产生抵触心理。在这一阶段，适当激励孩子非常重要，我们要让孩子参与到能调动起他们兴趣，并且他们也擅长的学科中，让他们去感受积极的学业体验，塑造他们充满信心的自我表达。

*由二年级组发起的VSP Tree of creative-confidence受到了全体小学部同学的积极参与。

Thank you for a great year in VSP. We would like to express that we really appreciate your time, and your evident care for your children and their all-round development. We hope they have learned a lot from us, as we have learned a lot from them!

感谢家长们在这一年的付出，您们总是能在百忙之中参与同老师们的讨论，和我们即便在课后也会在钉钉上保持沟通。在此向家长们致以我们的敬意。感谢您们对孩子的关注和对他们全面发展的支持。我们在每个孩子身上都学到了很多，希望他们也同样从我们这里收获了能对他们有所受用的知识和体验。

The children are closer to the beginning of their learning journey, than even the middle; and I believe it never ends. It means, they’re building and developing their skills throughout their life. Let’s help them to set a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

孩子们现在又在学习之旅上向前迈了一大步，他们在不断地发展自己的技能。我们有幸能够见证并助力他们的成长，在这一关键的阶段帮助他们首先搭建好稳固的基础，同时树立终身学习的理念。

We wish you all the best for the up-coming school year.

祝愿我们的VSPers在新学年再接再厉，家长们辛苦了。
