📅 小娜K班的課外活動安排Weekly Schedule
大家都說學校開學是鬼門👻🚪關,但是對我來說開學後才是我忙碌生活的開始,像這次的winter Break 全家人生病😷導致我們過得特別taka it easy ,兩個小孩我們都沒有報名冬令營,我們要上班的時候她們不想吃早餐就送去公婆家吃,我跟J大爺兩個同時中標晚上也不用煮飯,晚上也直接去公婆家搭伙,真是因禍得福啊!😆過了一個very relaxing 的聖誕節🎄,holiday 。之後上了兩天班就飛✈️洛杉磯過年去了,回來也是冰箱空空又去公婆家搭伙幾天,又去Aulani 兩天一夜,今年的winter break 真的是太爽了🤣🤣
好了,言歸正傳,我這個計劃控媽媽馬上在開學前夕把小娜這學期的課後活動安排一下,準備開始忙碌的生活囉!
前一陣子有朋友問我怎麼安排小孩的課後活動,所以我就想趁這個機會跟大家分享一下我上個學期安排小娜的一些經驗,同時也讓我有機會檢討一下這個學期該怎麼去做調整
📝 在安排小孩課外活動之前我的兩大考量點是
✅小孩的長處是什麼?有沒有興趣?如果是媽媽決定的也要看小孩的意願及配合程度
✅上課地點的距離:接送是一個很大的問題,不要選離🏠太遠的地方,要把塞車時間也要加入考量,所以我會先從家裡附近的資源開始找起
✅選哪種才藝or運動項目不是重點,「排課」才是重點!很多時候不是你想上就可以上,像小娜的網球跟中文課就是同一個時間,只能擇其一。她同時愛芭蕾舞也愛體操,我覺得是同一個性質,而且時間已經塞不下,體操場地又離家遠,我就只讓她選芭蕾。
📅小娜『K上』的課後活動:
一:游泳 @245 @Park
二:Cooking @2:30 ➡️ Lego @3:40 @School
三:游泳 @245 @Park ➡️ 鋼琴 @4:15 @老師家
四:Investors camp @2:30 ➡️ Hula @3:40 @School ➡️ 中文&珠算 @5pm @朋友家
五:休息
六:(早上)網球 @公園 ➡️ 中文 @朋友家、(下午)美術課 ➡️ 山地舞課@中文學校
日:(下午)芭蕾舞課 @
📝 感想:
可能有很多人看到這個安排會覺得我很恐怖,把小孩每天活動排得滿滿的都沒時間玩,簡直就是🐯媽一枚,BUT BUT BUT我一定要先澄清一下我的出發點:(J大爺一直都跟我說不要再解釋了,你明明就是🐯👩😆😆😆)
✅首先,美國小學跟台灣的大班教育真的差很多,小娜的學校每天在學校的schedule就是早上八點到校 ➡️ 上兩堂課10:30吃午餐 ➡️ 再上兩堂課 ➡️ 1:00吃點心然後玩 ➡️ 2:00下課。所以全校學生兩點放學,家長接回
✅雙薪家庭不能接小孩的話就可以把小孩送去A+ program(After school care,俗稱的課後輔導班,但是其實就是把小孩集中在餐廳Cafeteria吃點心、寫功課、跟同學玩,然後到戶外玩playground玩)
✅我們並沒有sign up A+ program,因為我非常幸運我有J爺爺的幫忙,每天幫我接小孩放學(只有星期四我休假時是我去接),如果我不幫小孩安排活動的話,小娜就會每天兩點到爺爺家吃點心、看電視卡通、玩到五點半我們去接他回家吃飯。也許你也會覺得這樣很好啊!我也是這樣長大的(因為J大爺也是這樣長大的😆)。但是我記得我小時候的電視卡通選擇真的很少,30年前的卡通我只記得頑皮豹、格林童話那種,美國的卡通真的超多耶!你可以看24小時都看不膩。所以很抱歉,我沒辦法容忍我的小孩每天兩點回家就看2-3個小時的電視等我去接,以我這個生活過得這麼精實的媽媽來說,我寧願小孩去公園玩、在花園種花、幫忙洗菜煮飯,但是偏偏J爺爺不太會帶她做這些事,頂多帶她去grocery shopping,所以我才必須安排活動給小娜
✅我當初選擇這些課後活動的原則是盡量選擇『non-academic』,所以幾乎都是才藝or運動類型:
➡️週二、週四下午學校有提供課後活動,各兩堂課,所以我幫她報名了四堂課(烹飪、樂高、科學發明、呼拉),這些都是跟學業無關的課程,所以真的就是讓她去玩中學
➡️週一&週三我幫她報名了Honolulu City & County免費的游泳課,雖然才半小時,而且真的沒學到什麼,但是免費免費免費,游完就回爺爺家看卡通 ,不去游的話又多看一小時,所以我當然要讓她去游啊!是不是?!
➡️星期三游完再去上鋼琴課,這我私心想要小孩學的,還好so far so good,如果練到以後沒興趣可轉學其他樂器
➡️一週兩次的中文課是無可避免的必修學分😆
➡️珠算是因為剛好一起上中文課的好朋友媽媽是珠算老師,所以一見雙雕就跟她的小孩一起學珠算。我覺得它跟Kumon有異曲同工之處,可以訓練小孩專注力,順便練習從小回家要寫功課的習慣(因為小娜的學校真的完全沒有功課zero)
➡️網球是J大爺想要小孩學的(哈哈),大概學了半年。後來沒興趣,我們在12月份的時候就暫停了,等她大一點以後再試試看
➡️星期六下午是J大爺的ME TIME,所以我要一打二。小菱的中文課安排在星期六下午3:30上課,上課前我必須帶她去睡覺(通常在車上睡),所以我就安排了美術課跟山地舞課給小娜,反正是同一個地點,我接送起來也方便。而且我覺得5-7歲的年紀學美術類的課程真的蠻好的,培養美感、配色、構圖概念,有時候會是科學美勞,珠寶創意課程,更讚。不過山地舞小娜跳了半學期就放棄了XXD
➡️芭蕾舞則是我帶小娜去試跳後她自己很喜歡,我才幫她報名的,而且the dance studio離我們家超近接送很方便,drop her off 去上課後我可以帶小菱去睡午覺,一舉兩得
以上就是我的課後活動安排分享,規劃活動真的要很organize,因為游泳課有兩個session、學校的課後活動課程也只有八週而已,有時候衝堂時還要調課,學校又有fall break還有一些其他活動會停課,所以我沒有google map真的活不下去,連J大爺都要快被搞瘋了。
這個學期大致上weekday是大同小異的安排,不過周末會變得輕鬆很多,六早上沒繼續網球也沒有中文課,這會是我們的Family Time,我們會安排很多全家出遊的活動,六下午的美術課跟山地舞課老師不教了所以我索性也不排課,讓小娜這個學期有個輕鬆一點的周末,週六下午我帶小菱去上中文課的時候J大爺可以自己安排她與小娜的父女時光。你們說我真的很虎嗎?!哈哈~~~ 每個人對孩子的教養定義不同作法不同,有人覺得小孩小每天在家玩就好,我也贊成在家玩(只要不要一直看電視玩電子產品就好),我平常在家也是讓她們自己玩,反正我家電視幾乎都是關著的。我的安排不是最好的安排,適合你的生活型態、小孩喜歡又enjoy的schedule就是最好的安排😊

Why taking the SAT or ACT when you’re not ready is a terrible mistake.
For several years now, I’ve noticed that many of my students who study at international schools tend to take an SAT test just to “test the waters.”
This is such a bad move it’s not funny!
What’s so bad about it?
American admissions officers dislike students who only focus on tests. So, even if you manage to get a high score after you’ve taken the SAT too many times, you might be rejected anyway.
Your SAT score is so important! Please do not waste any opportunity to get a high score!
I read the following quote on Dartmouth’s website:
“We don't recommend excessive testing. Making the most out of your high school opportunities is more important than repeatedly taking standardized tests."
Is it only Dartmouth?
Actually, this kind of statement isn’t unique to Dartmouth - it’s pretty standard. Most of the top universities say exactly the same thing. This causes many people to believe that colleges don’t really care much about your SAT score.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
All you have to do is to look at the average SAT/ACT scores that enrolling students receive. As an example, successful applicants to Dartmouth average around 1500 (out of 1600). That’s pretty high! What do they mean then?
They mean that students need to focus on non-academic pursuits AS WELL AS getting a very high score on their SATs.
So, you definitely need a high SAT score, but you can’t look like you care that much. If you take a test before you’re ready, there will be a record of your lower-than-ideal score. You’ll naturally need to retake the exam a second, third, and, possibly, fourth, time.
Let’s say that you do achieve your ideal score on the fourth or fifth attempt. How will the admissions officer view you when you have exactly the same score as another applicant who only took the test twice or three times? Who will they select?
Naturally, they will not choose you because you look like a testing machine.
In the US, everybody knows that it’s foolish to take the SAT or ACT more than three times. That means that you should NEVER waste an attempt. You should be ready before you ever take the test.
So, what should you do?
First, “test the waters” in a safe environment: your home.
You can do some practice questions on Khan Academy to get a feel for the test. Then, when you feel ready to tackle the whole test, do one of the Official Tests found on Khan or CollegeBoard:
https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/exams
https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/practice/full-length-practice-tests
Make sure you download the test, print it out and do it on paper. If you do it on the computer, you will NOT be simulating the real test.
Presently, there are a total of 9 released tests. CollegeBoard and Khan have released 8, and there is one more floating about on the internet. (As an aside, I actually use this test in my classes. I purposely avoid the other released tests because most schools use them and so do many students. I hate it when students say, “I’ve done that test before!”)
Simply using these tests will give you a good idea of what score you would get if you took the real test. And you can do this without risking being labelled a testing machine.
Also, as there are only 9 official tests out there, don’t waste them. Granted, there are other “official” tests online or in some schools, but these are usually riddled with errors or are incomplete. (I personally hate doing a test and not knowing which questions are faulty before doing it. Most of the time, students spend a lot of time trying to figure out the answers to questions that do not even have answers. It can be very frustrating.)
Another thing: of the nine, only 5 of them are previously administered tests. The first four “official tests” were designed before CollegeBoard switched from the old SAT to the new one in 2016. These four tests are quite easy compared to what is being tested now, so are not a great indicator of your future score. They are great for practicing question types - just understand that if you get a really high score on them it doesn’t mean that you will do just as well on test day.
Only tests 5-9 (also easier than the current tests) are the closest thing we have to the current SAT tests. Still, these are easier than the current test, especially in the reading section, so be aware that the reading will most probably be even tougher than what is in all of the officially released tests.

Enjoy your SAT studies!

我的母校——香港中文大学(CUHK)沈祖尧校长今天发给全体中大人的一封公开信。大家可将沈校长和马来西亚各国立大学校长对学运的态度比较一下,你会发现什么是世界级大学的校长和P巫统LP的本地学阀之别!
各位同事、各位同學、各位校友:
就政治與行政學系陳倩瑩同學被判監一事,有同學向沈祖堯校長發公開信表達意見,以下為沈校長致同學的回應。
Dear Colleagues, Students and Alumni,
The Vice-Chancellor Professor Joseph J.Y. Sung has responded to an open letter from the students regarding a case of our GPA student, Miss Chan Sin-ying Daisy, being sentenced to jail terms. His response is as follows.
(The English version of this message follows the Chinese one.)
支持陳倩瑩同學
各位同學:
自上星期得悉陳倩瑩同學被法庭判監三周後,我和大家一樣,十分關心此事。惟我過去幾天一直在外國講學,前天才回來,所以遲了回應大家的公開信。
我相信,維護學術自由、捍衛個人權利和追求社會公義,是大學的基本價值。我更見到,過去多年來,一代又一代中大師生站在社會前線,為弱勢社群發聲。我和大家一樣,深為中大這個傳統而驕傲。
我初步了解過事件,也讀了倩瑩的文章,相信她的行動,絕對不是為了個人私利,而是出於對香港的關心及對民主人權的追求。我很明白倩瑩現在面臨的壓力和困難,很想給她一些支持。在有需要時,我會以個人名義為她的訴訟提供經濟援助。我也會叮囑政政系老師及大學輔導長,和倩瑩保持聯絡,提供必要的支持。
我明白年輕人參與社會運動時,有時可能會採取一些較激烈的行動。我在此誠懇呼籲,希望大家能在和平非暴力及尊重法治的原則下,表達訴求,努力爭取社會公義。
沈祖堯
In Support of Miss Chan Sin-ying Daisy
Dear Students,
Like every one of you, I have been anxious and concerned about the case of our student, Miss Chan Sin-ying Daisy, who was sentenced to three weeks of imprisonment by court last week. I was out of Hong Kong during the past few days owing to academic engagements and did not come back until Sunday. Hence this response to your open letter is not as timely as I would wish.
It is my conviction that the defence of academic freedom and individual rights, and the pursuit of social justice, stand at the very core of the values upheld by our University. I have also observed that, generation after generation, the teachers and students of CUHK are always at the forefront of society, supporting the underprivileged and downtrodden. I am proud of this time-honoured tradition like every one of you.
After a preliminary examination of Daisy's case and having read her newspaper article, I am convinced that she certainly acted without selfishness, but out of a concern for Hong Kong and the solicitude for democracy and human rights. I also understand that she is now facing intense pressure and difficulty, and would indeed hope to be able to offer her assistance. When it becomes necessary, I will provide financial assistance in my own name to support her litigation. I will also request teachers in the Government and Public Administration Department, as well as the University Dean of Students, to offer help where appropriate.
I am fully aware of the fact that young people, when engaged in social movements, might sometimes be given to radical actions and activities. I would also like to take the opportunity here to ask our students to keep their activities peaceful, non-violent, and within the law, as they continue to express their demands, and struggle for social justice.
Joseph J Y Sung
