刚看个开头，是个选秀比赛上小萝莉独唱啊，之前网上看过的

大致看了下，全是电脑或视频啊，孩子是比较能坐得住，但爹妈们都同意么
you and me是阶梯英语的那个么

的确，孩子的兴趣最重要。

全部课程结束当晚发给大家的个别评语：

各位家长和宝贝们好！

今天是Tina口语暑假班课程结束的日子。我们如期如愿地完成了三个月前的设想：让孩子们在快乐中学习英语并迈出双语第一步，同时也让Tina再次体验帮助别人就是帮助自己。

按照年龄从大到小的顺序，我们在此给每个孩子一个简评，或许会对他们今后的成长略有帮助：

10岁的Jenny初步完成了RS五级（最高级）的听说练习，也初步养成了双语习惯。希望今后仔细听并用心模仿，边学边用，让自己的语音语调和中文一样好！此外在练习高尔夫挥杆时发现Jenny很有运动天赋！

9岁的Union初步完成了RS五级的听说练习，英语的听说读写基础都相对最好，也敢于展现自己的才艺。不足的是口语的表达能力相对其他方面偏弱一些，希望多说再多说！此外发现Union有表演天赋和领导意识！

8岁的Bill初步完成了RS五级的听说练习，也初步养成了双语习惯，对话能力是班上数一数二的。希望今后仔细听并用心模仿，边学边用，让自己的语音语调和中文一样好！此外我们发现Bill很懂得谦让，这方面甚至值得姐姐学习。

8岁的Reagan部分完成了RS五级的听说练习，但需要巩固之前的练习。希望今后仔细听并用心模仿，边学边用，养成双语习惯并让自己的语音语调和中文一样好！此外我们发现Reagan的课外知识面很广，说话像个小大人：）

7岁的Sherry部分完成了RS五级的听说练习，也初步养成了双语习惯，但需要巩固RS前几级的练习。希望今后仔细听并用心模仿，边学边用，让自己的语音语调和中文一样好！发现Sherry喜欢挑战且有领导意识。

6岁的Ruby部分完成了RS三级的听说及其他练习，语音语调属班上最好的之一，很喜欢也很会唱歌，要是说英文能像唱英文歌一样就太棒了！此外发现Ruby逻辑思维能力很强，做事追求完美，要是今后有机会的话我们会奖励她犯错误：）

6岁的Amy部分完成了RS二级的听说及其他练习，并偶尔尝试了三级。像Ruby一样，Amy也很喜欢并擅长唱歌。从加拿大回来后学习比之前认真多了，也初步有了双语意识。此外Amy整天快乐得像自由的小鸟，还十足地幽默，经常用英文的调子说中文，令人捧腹：）

6岁的Lightning部分完成了RS三级的听说及其他练习，偶尔尝试了四级和五级，并初步养成了双语习惯。希望今后仔细听并用心模仿，边学边用，让自己的语音语调和中文一样好！此外发现Lightning做事专注，对科技很敏感，动手能力很强，并有超人的财商：）

6岁的Roger部分完成了RS三级的听说及其他练习，初步养成了双语习惯，语音语调和语感都是班上数一数二的。此外发现Roger对科技也很敏感，喜欢特立独行：）

5岁的Julianna部分完成了RS一级的听说及其他练习，并偶尔尝试了二级，初步养成了双语习惯，还能讲在家里学会的英文小故事呢！希望今后仔细听并用心模仿，边学边用，让自己的语音语调和中文一样好！此外发现Julianna有很强的领导意识：）

4岁的Sarah部分完成了RS一级的听说及其他练习，正在初步养成双语习惯，希望今后仔细听并用心模仿，边学边用，让自己的语音语调和中文一样好！此外发现Sarah的专注力很强，和Ruby、Lightning差不多，相当于普通7岁的孩子的专注力：）

8月21日课程结束，22日我们邀请小朋友们到家里聚会，当晚的邮件标题是 a happy ending and a promising beginning：

大家好！

感谢大家对Tina和我们一家在过去6周的支持和认可！虽然孩子们依依不舍，部分家长也希望我们继续办下去，无奈Tina自己很快也要‘开学了’，加上外出计划，只能留下一点遗憾了。我们全家都爱上了这些孩子，就像是Tina的弟弟妹妹，欢迎大家继续来玩！

接下来我们一家人还会忙于收集了一些教育资源，打算明年建一个免费教育资源网，欢迎大家奉献和分享。在网站推出前我会在下面这个帖子里放一些孩子和父母都用得上的链接，并且会持续添加：

建议爸爸妈妈们继续给孩子们营造一个双语环境，多听多说，有疑问随时给我们邮件或电话。

祝孩子们快乐学习、幸福成长！

Jim and family

摘录几段家长反馈：

一位妈妈邮件之一摘要：
昨天出差去深圳，刚才接到妞电话，说了一通上午扮演的情况，还背了台词给我听，开心的很！我把英语儿歌视频页面存在Ipad上，她自己在家一遍遍唱，看来玩中学效果很好。

同一位妈妈邮件之二：
暑期课程结束后，小朋友将面临开学，想问问你们有无打算开设一个放学后的“托班”？一边辅导督促孩子放学后及时完成功课，一边可以延续目前的英语教学，我想对我们很多双职工的家长来说还是非常需要的。当然这只是我个人的良好希望，对你们而言，开设暑假课程可能只是给TINA一个锻炼机会，并不会作为长期项目，没关系，我只是一个建议哦，以你们的兴趣和意愿为主，供参考哈。（我好像特别喜欢提建议哈）

另一位妈妈的邮件：
Thank you for your arrangement.. Thank Tina and Tiffany. my daughter likes the activities very much. I hope she will learn more English with happiness.

一位爸爸的邮件摘要：
暑期班一晃就结束了，在这段时间里，在你们的教育、指导和照顾下，我们女儿过得非常快乐，学到了知识，交到了新的朋友。在此深表感谢，也非常高兴认识你们一家。让我们保持联系，今后如有遇到关于小孩教育的问题，再向你们请教。再次感谢！

另一位爸爸的邮件摘要：
非常感谢你们全家的辛勤工作，让这么多的小孩度过了丰富多彩的夏天。我们女儿非常喜欢这样的学习方式，从来没有这么开心的学习过！她还期盼Tina能一直教下去  

口头和短信表达善意的就更多了。所有这些都是对Tina和我们一家的最高奖励：）

教育的目标大家基本一致：德才兼备、身心健康。比较困扰父母的是教育过程。我个人还是喜欢之前说过的一句话：有梦想、有行动，有启发、有奖励。前一半是孩子的最佳状态，后一半是父母的最佳状态。当然如果立志于终身成长的话，自己也始终是个孩子，也同样应该有梦想、有行动。

天地宽梦才美。读万卷书、行万里路，天地自然宽，如果再加上云游互联网，天地会更宽。这几天又发现不少好视频，包括真人秀和动画片，有点遗憾，要是早些发现就好了。在30天的课程中，我们多次结合小电影的内容同孩子们聊到梦想。不久前Lightning的妈妈对我们说，她最高兴的是6岁的Lightning最近有梦想了，而且经常会和爸爸妈妈聊未来的打算。记得Lightning的妈妈在开学前初次来我们家时，我就聊到启发孩子梦想的打算，并且放了一部小电影。当时她觉得对6岁的孩子来说太难了。后来我们虽然降低了小电影的难度，但没有放弃撒下梦想种子的初衷。或许Lighnting最近的梦想就是在他父母的精心培育和我们的少许辅助下冒出的第一颗小芽。

下面就是楼上提到的小电影链接，后面小写文字是Tina和Jim做的听写练习，权当字幕吧：
