曹光彪書院義教團經過三個多月準備,包括招募新團員,培訓和團建,準備教案和試教,於12月22至26日,19位團員到貴州從江縣貫洞鎮幹團美娥小學進行義教,團員包括大一至大四不同專業的院生。

這是曹光彪書院義教團第10次到幹團美娥小學為小朋友服務,內容包括英語、科學、體育、藝術和人文,最後一天也為全校小朋友舉辦了園遊會。教學物資和演示器材都是義教團通過書院義賣籌款買來的。

該小學共有18個班800多學生。義教期間,義教團員以“班主任”角色參與早讀課,並分組集中給三和四年級上課。

在上一期義教中,小朋友對科技路演和課堂演示實驗反應熱烈。這次義教團更帶來許多新內容,包括:多個光學演示實驗,降落傘制作(空氣阻力),橡皮驅動小車(彈性勢能轉變為動能),風車制作,密碼設計等。除了課堂演示,也利用中午時間做“科學路演”,激發小朋友的學習興趣。園遊會也加入了路演攤位,吸引大量小朋友來參加。

在人文藝術方面,有紅軍四渡赤水(歷史故事情境扮演),古人的名字和號,唐詩宋詞趣味課堂,手語歌,燈籠和風車製作等。

體育內容則包括,健球、“鼓動人心”、羽毛球、體適能訓練和跳遠等(連小組比賽)。由於每班人數多,為了有效控制課堂秩序,每一課由全組4至6位哥哥姐姐一起出動。

義教最後一天,院長、正副團長跟學校校長開會總結。團長匯報了這次義教的重點和成果,校長也充分肯定了義教的價值,并感謝義教團為小朋友帶來充滿啟發性的演示實驗和快樂回憶。

義教團每天傍晚都做總結,實時調整教學和活動安排。最後一天總結大會中,團員分享了參與義教的感想和收穫,包括義教團的使命和傳承,團員之間的友誼和互助,對自己的影響和改變等。最後,其中一位副團長晉升為第11期團長,並選出一位新的副團長。大家期待未來繼續為貴州山區小朋友服務!

The CKPC Voluntary Teaching Team, after over three months of preparation—including recruiting new members, conducting training and team-building activities, and preparing lesson plans and trial teaching sessions—sent 19 members to Gantuan Mei’e Primary School in Guandong Town, Congjiang County, Guizhou, from December 22 to 26 for a voluntary teaching program. The team consisted of students from Year 1 to Year 4 across various disciplines.  They brought demonstration equipment and teaching materials purchased through fundraising earlier in the semester.

This marked the 10th time the team served the children at Gantuan Mei’e Primary School. The teaching program included English, science, physical education, art, morning reading, and afternoon reading sessions. On the final day, a funfair was organized for all the children.  

In recent years, the primary school has enrolled children from new migrant families in western Congjiang County, now totaling 18 classes with over 800 students. All Voluntary Teaching Team members took on the role of class teachers during morning reading sessions and focused on teaching grades 3 and 4 students in other times. 

Building on the success from previous year’s program, this year’s science curriculum was greatly enhanced, and a “science roadshow” was conducted for grades 5 and 6 students during lunch breaks. They eagerly participated in the roadshow and tried hands-on experiments.

Toward the end of the program, the college master, team leader, and deputy leaders held a debrief meeting with the school principal. The team leader summarized the key outcomes of the program, and the principal highly affirmed its value, thanking the team for bringing inspiring contents and joyful memories to the children. 

Each evening, the team held reflection sessions and adjusted teaching and activity arrangements in real time. At the final debrief, members shared their reflections and takeaways, covering the team’s mission and legacy, the bondage and mutual support among members, and the personal impact of the experience. Finally, one deputy leader was promoted as the next team leader, and a new deputy leader was elected. Everyone looks forward to continuing their service to children in Guizhou’s mountainous regions in the future!
