As the Dean of Curriculum at Clifford International School, part of my job is to support student learning and recognize the gains that students have made in their academic studies. As a result, this year teachers are being asked to nominate a student in their class(es) whose work is worthy of recognition. The reasons can include the overall quality of the work, the amount of effort the student put forth, the growth it demonstrates, and so on.
作为祈福英校国际部的课程主任，我的部分工作是支持学生的学习并就学生在学术学习中取得的成就进行奖励。因此，今年我们要求老师们在他们的班级中提名一名学生，并充分认可他取得的成绩和进步。被提名的原因可以包括作品或作业的整体高质量、学生付出的努力程度、表现出的成长进步等。 For the month of September, I asked the Grade 4 and art teachers to submit student work for recognition. Below you will find pictures of the students, their work, and a reflection on that work from both the teacher and the student. Enjoy! 九月份，我要求四年级的老师和小学美术老师提交学生作品以进行奖励。您将在下面看到学生的照片、他们的作品以及老师和学生对这些作品的评价。欢迎您阅读！
