五(6)班班主任宗薇曾经说: “作为一名英语教师班主任,我觉得在学生学习英语的起始阶段一定要从文化的角度引导学生理解英语,注重培养学生的跨文化意识。教师要挖掘文化内涵,将英语国家的风土人情、传统习俗、主要节日的庆祝方式等文化知识适时介绍给学生,拓宽学生的视野,帮助他们增加理解,学会接纳,学会融入,关心和尊重不同文化形态和各民族的风俗习惯。比如,教材中出现了英语国家重要的节日,像圣诞节、万圣节、复活节、感恩节等,教师在教学中应该让学生了解这些国家的文化习俗,才能根据所在的场合和所面对的不同人进行自如的交际。”
正值圣诞节前夕,借助升旗仪式集体晨会时间,宗老师就带着他们班的孩子们为二实小校区全体师生带来了精彩的圣诞主题宣讲,挂起一股浓浓的圣诞风。

Many parents tell their children that Santa Claus will bring them gifts if they’re good throughout the year. But the Santa that we see in the malls and on advertisements was created only about 150 years ago.

The family spends time together decorating it with beautiful lights,balls and ornaments. Then it’s time to place the wrapped gifts under the tree waiting until Christmas Day to open. Homes are decorated with evergreen wreaths,candles and the nativity scene and stockings are hung by the fireplace with small gifts and treats placed inside.
