September 9, 2024

In the vibrant tapestry of childhood, the first week of primary school shines like the brightest

color at dawn, marking the beginning of the exciting new journey of growth. On September 1st,

Shanghai High School International Division warmly welcomed its eagar first graders. Filled

with Excitement, the children greeted the enthusiastic teachers and staff as they entered the

campus, went to their classrooms, and made new friends.


In the days that followed , the teachers showcased the colorful life of the primary school,

guiding the new students to explore every corner of the campus.To help children better

understand their peers, personal growth lessons involving paintbrushes were used to creatively

introduce themselves.


Our school puts great emphasis on meeting the needs of students for individualized growth. Our

teachers employ a variety of teaching strategies tailored to the students' age and interests,

carefully designing engaging lessons. In math class, teachers use real-life examples to simplify

abstract concepts, making them easier to understand. In language arts, students dive into the

richness of Chinese characters, experiencing the beauty of the language. Social studies classes

are made accessible through group descussion and interactive activities, guiding students to

understand abstract societal concepts while enhancing their sense of social responsibility and

critical thinking.



Additionally , teachers take full advantage of recess to organize team games and social activities,

creating opportunities for communication and interaction. These activities not only enhancing

mutual understanding among students but also deepening their friendships.



As the week come to an end , the children's growth is evident, like bamboo shoots sprouting in

spring—impressively visible. In the classroom, they actively engage and share their ideas; on the

playground , they run and play, relishing the warmth and joy of friendship.We egarly look

forward to these young newcomers shine even brighter in the future, writing their own

magnificent stories!
