2021年8月31日是玛丽亚蒙特梭利诞辰的151周年，在这一天，意大利（成都）艾尔思儿童之家也迎来了一场别开生面的新学期家长会。玛利亚蒙特梭利是蒙特梭利教育法的创始人，她的教育法建立在对儿童的创造性潜力、儿童的学习动机及作为一个人的权利的信念的基础之上。在过去的一百多年历史中，深刻影响着世界各国。
On August 31, 2021, EYAS had a special parents meeting in memory of the great physician and educator —— Maria Montessori’s 151th birthday. Maria Montessori created Montessori education method, which based on a belief in a creative potential of children, his/her motivation to learn, and his/her right as a human being. The effectiveness of this method has been confirmed by Montessori classrooms all over the world.
家长会在缅怀蒙特梭利博士、了解蒙特梭利教学法开始。不过新学期新大朋友之间的熟识，还是需要通过破冰游戏的参与。通过老师们用心准备的破冰游戏，快速拉近了彼此的距离，同时游戏中所蕴藏的深层含义，也引发了不少家长对教育的感悟与思考！
Parents meeting started with the official introduction of Montessori education method, while playing ice-breaking game can be an effective and a lively way for our new big friends and old big friends get familiar with each other in a short time. Meanwhile, this game is also a starting point that help parents get to know more about Montessori early childhood education.
氛围热络后，会议正式进入了主题——老师开始为家长们介绍自己班级的情况、本学期的内容，以及展示老师利用自己的专业储备为孩子们制定的工作计划！除此以外，本学期每个月将有一个主题，我们将围绕着主题展开班级主题活动，及园区的大型活动。将内容透明，也是促进家园共育的重要途径！
After previous warming up activities, Parents meeting moves to its main part -- introduce the general information about the class, the teaching plan of the whole semester, and the work plan for each child based on teachers’ expertise. We have topics every month and all activities will be organized based on these topics. We share these information with parents with the purpose to promote the cooperative education between family and school.
Best Way to Achieve Home-School Cooperative Education
走进儿童之家，一直都是家长们期待的活动！我们的家长们都希望成为可以科学协助的智慧成人！本学期除了保留原有的家长课堂和沙龙，同时也增添了让家长走进校园的新路径——家长自愿者和家长助教！我们邀请家长走进教室，成为老师的一份子，真正地去践行家校同育！
Walk into EYAS is what parents have been waiting for. We kept original activities such as parents class and parent salon, while at the same time we also launched new events: Parents volunteer and Parents teaching assistant. At this time, parents have chance to enter the classroom as a volunteer or teaching assistant and become a member of teachers. Parents can experience the Montessori education by participating these activities and help us to achieve the real cooperative education.
孩子的教育离不开家庭和儿童之家的共同协作。家长会显然是家庭与儿童之家面对面沟通的重要方式之一，届时儿童之家也将保持初心：“追随儿童，用心教育”！
Education requires the cooperation between teachers and parents, so parents meeting gives the school and parents a chance to know each other. EYAS will always maintain our initial intention: “follow the children, educate with heart and love.”
