FCS武术之星
March 14, 2024
对于这样规模的学校来说, Fremont Christian offers students a wide array of extracurricular activities, 包括那些在其稳健 athletics program. 但即使有这么多的校园选择, some students opt to participate in other hobbies and sports. Two such students, 大四的霍华德·卡姆和大三的埃琳娜·周, 我选择了武术(武术的中文术语), a sport in which they have proven not just adept but exceptional.
Finding Their Passion
霍华德早年在香港一家电视台看武侠剧，这激发了他对武术的最初兴趣. “The channel had a lot of dramas with martial arts,” he says. “I saw that, and I was like, wow, this is really awesome and super cool."
His parents, understanding his passion, allowed him to pursue wushu at the age of six. 尽管做出了承诺和牺牲，但他目前每周训练4到5次，每次3小时, 包括用一把直剑和一支长矛——霍华德在超越极限的过程中找到了成就感. 他强调了享受这段旅程的重要性，他说:“胜利对我来说不一样. 我逐渐意识到的是，我必须愿意在实践和准备中推动自己."
埃琳娜在很小的时候就对武术产生了兴趣，部分原因是她的母亲开了一家功夫学校. 她七岁时开始练习, and the physical activity soon became an integral part of her identity. 平衡学术与武术, Elena强调了FCS的支持性环境, 她表示，老师们的包容和理解是她从上一所学校转学的主要原因, 这是不被接受的.
霍华德也赞同这种观点, “If, for example, I have a competition, 我可以提前问我的老师布置作业, tests, or whatever I need. 他们非常支持我.”
竞争冠军
两位学生的付出都得到了回报. Howard has competed in several high-profile competitions, including the Golden State International Wushu Championships, 虎爪(他是总冠军), 以及著名的泛美武术锦标赛, 为此，他前往巴西，并将金牌带回了家.
Elena has also competed in esteemed competitions, including the World Wushu Championships. “I got to see athletes who do this sport for like a living — athletes from China, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia — who I would normally watch online to get inspiration for my own routine. 我在同一个场地比赛. 我只记得那太超现实了，因为我就像, ‘Oh, my gosh, 这些人和我做一样的事, 我还能亲眼见到他们.’” She has also traveled to Indonesia to compete in the World Junior Wushu Championship.
Howard, 参加过国内和国际比赛, 强调武术的团体意识. “与你竞争的人会推动你变得更好. The community is a big part of what draws people into the sport.”
Elena echoes this sentiment, emphasizing wushu’s transformative power. “它教会了我纪律和毅力. 它不仅仅是一项运动——它是一种生活方式.”

Navigating Early Education: Choosing Between Montessori and Play-Based Learning
August 31, 2023
When looking for the perfect educational fit for their child, 许多家长更喜欢蒙台梭利学校. 然而，许多人没有意识到的是 play-based learning 能完成许多相同的目标吗. 以下是基于游戏的学习如何与蒙台梭利价值观保持一致，同时为孩子的成长提供不同的视角.
蒙台梭利价值观和基于游戏的学习
These are just a few of the more important ways that the two learning methods are similar.
培养独立. 蒙台梭利教育以通过自主活动培养独立性而闻名. 以游戏为基础的学习同样鼓励独立，允许孩子们根据自己的兴趣进行探索和选择.
个性化的学习. Montessori schools focus on tailoring education to each child's unique pace and preferences.
Play-based education inherently adapts to individual learning styles, ensuring that children engage with activities that resonate with them personally.
Hands-On Exploration. 蒙台梭利教室提供专门的材料，让孩子们亲身体验学习.
以游戏为基础的学习是以触觉为基础的, hands-on exploration, 提供各种材料和活动，激发创造力和批判性思维.
Joyful Learning. 蒙台梭利强调，当孩子们真正投入并快乐地探索时，他们学得最好.
以游戏为基础的教育在创造一个学习与享受同义的环境中蓬勃发展, 培养对学习的终身热爱.
龄互动. Montessori classrooms often group children of different ages, 让年轻人向长辈学习.
Play-based settings naturally facilitate mixed-age interactions, 尤其是在户外活动时, 使年幼的孩子能够向年长的玩伴学习，发展重要的社交技能.
选择以游戏为基础的蒙台梭利目标
So, 为什么你会考虑以游戏为基础的学校，即使你最初被蒙台梭利教育所吸引?
Holistic Growth. Just like Montessori, 以游戏为基础的学习促进全面发展, nurturing cognitive, social, emotional, 通过富有想象力的游戏来促进身体发育.
勘探的灵活性. 以游戏为基础的教室提供了探索广泛兴趣和活动的灵活性, allowing your child to discover and develop passions organically.
自然学习节奏. 在基于游戏的环境中, 孩子们按照自己的节奏学习, aligning with Montessori's goal of individualized education.
培养自我激励. 以游戏为基础的学习鼓励内在动机, as children actively engage in activities that pique their curiosity and enthusiasm.
在考虑孩子的教育之旅时, it's essential to weigh your priorities and values against the options available. 而蒙台梭利教育则有其独特的优势, 我们应该认识到，许多相同的目标可以通过基于游戏的方法来实现. 当你探索可能性的时候, 记住，孩子的正确选择最终取决于他们独特的个性, learning style, 以及你的教育抱负. 无论是蒙台梭利还是游戏, 我们的目标是一样的:为你的孩子未来的成功打下坚实的基础，培养他们对学习的终身热爱.
