當東方的儒家思想、道德觀念，碰觸到西方民主自由、尊重個人人格發展的教育方式時，您是否也開始不知所措，難以從中取捨、去蕪存菁? 兩代的時空背景、成長過程、教育方式，落差究竟有多大？讓我們一起來分享，來探討如何教育和陪伴 “現代小孩”? 如何讓家中的寶貝，能夠兼具西方的自由人格發展，及東方優良的品格培養? 誠摯地歡迎您和親朋好友一起蒞臨參加，分享您親身的寶貴經驗。慈濟基金會波士頓聯絡處地址：15 Summer St, Newton, MA 02464 電話：617-762-0569
Tzu Chi Boston Service Center will host 「Seminar for your Mind and Soul: Sharing experience on “modern child”education 」at 1:00pm- 3:00pm on November 27 (Saturday).
When the Confucianism and moral values from the East collide with the democracy, personal freedom, and individualism from the West, do you frequently feel confused, besieged, and at a loss of what to do? How the differences in background, upbringing and education styles can affect the interaction and cause conflicts between the two generations? Let us share our experience and explore the various approaches of educating and getting along with those “modern child”. How could we embed our children with the moral values of the East while still let them enjoy sufficient freedom and space for individual development of the West?
We welcome you and your family and friends to join the discussion and to share your personal experience. The address for Tzu Chi Boston Service Center is 15 Summer St, Newton, MA 02464. Tel：617-762-0569

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 智慧並非從學識中得來，而是發自內心清淨的本性，體會人生和宇宙的真理，又真正能清淨無求地走入人群、服務大眾，這就是發揮智慧的使用權與良能。
Wisdom does not solely grow from knowledge. The growth of wisdom is through purifying our thoughts, understanding the principles of life and Universe, and servicing the community selflessly.
• 心生感恩，是良知的開啟，也是踏出人生良能的第一步。
Appreciation of others is expression of conscience and beginning of our life journey to gain enlightenment.
• 「孝」是為善之本。
“Filial piety" is the foundation and starting point for all good deeds, kindness and virtues.
• 不要爭面子，爭來的是假的，培養來的才是真的。
It is meaningless to demand other’s respect. Only the respect inspired by goodness of one’s character is real and true.

家長園地 Parents Activities:
• 各位愛心爸爸媽媽，大家好：
有幾件事情要向大家報告。首先是之前和大家有討論到從幼小班到四年級班的學生因為人數多或是年齡偏小等原因而須要愛心爸爸媽媽來幫忙，雖然有些班級己有小老師的協助，但是因為人數過多或是因為學生上課的制序難以控制時，如果有的從旁協助，相信老師在上課時得以減少時間在管理上面，而多些時間教課，而在父母親方面則可以藉由這些幫助的同時，得知小朋友上課的情形，更可增進親子關係。
第二：我己和從幼小班至四年級班的老師商討過，除了四年級（魏婉美老師）不需要的協助之外，其他老師均希望有愛心爸爸媽媽的幫忙，且希望是由自班的家長來輪值，而非全部家長輪值。目前幼大班及二年級班己開始實施愛心爸爸媽媽輪值。其成果頗佳。其餘班級的家長可以自行與自班老師及家長們商討安排一週的輪值表。詳細情形可詢問愛心媽媽Meiling。
第三：要感謝大家對＂惜福站＂熱烈響應。家中如有物品想要與朋友惜福，敬請送至Cafeteria，將有專人為您服務。
第四：惜福站將擴大為大家服務。家中如果有大宗的物品想要惜福，如家具，家電用品等等，可以利用學校的Newsletter來刊登。請清楚註明姓名、連絡方式、物品名稱、尺寸大小，顏色等等。越清楚越好。
請注意！所有惜福物品將以捐贈方式實施。除了捐贈學校惜福站之物品轉賣之後，將全數金額捐贈至學校。其餘惜福物品將由捐贈者和收授者自行接洽處理，學校將不會經手。詳細情形可以詢問愛心媽媽 Meiling 。謝謝大家的支持。柷大家平安。
Dear Parents, a few issues to share with all of you:
First, the need of room parents in classes from K1 to 4th grade due to either number or age of students was raised in last discussion even though some classes have had teaching assistant already. We concluded presence of room parent would be beneficial to students by reducing teacher’s burden to maintain order of the class.
Secondly, all class teachers except 4th grade agreed and appreciated presence and help of room parent though they preferred the room parents are the parents of their students. In fact, K3 and 2nd grade have begun the rotation of their parents as room parent respectively and the results have been very well received. We recommend the parents of the other classes to consult with their teacher to make proper arrangement. If you need to know the detail, please contact Meiling.
Thirdly, we would like to thank your participation in our XiFu station in cafeteria. If you want to donate items (except large items), please drop them off at the station.
Fourthly, XiFu station would like to expand its service by accepting donation of durable goods such as appliance or furniture. If you are interested in donating, please let us know your name, contact information, and the detail specifications and dimension of the item(s) to be published in the school newsletter. The transportation of the item will be strictly handled between the donor and the recipient. Please contact Meiling for further details. Thank you for your support and good luck to you all.
證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 做人不要太過恃才傲物。但是也不能失去信心，最重要的是把握時間，隨分隨力為社會奉獻出一己之力。
We should be confident but not arrogant or egocentric. The important thing is to contribute our spare time and ability to benefit the community.
• 「慈悲喜捨」的真義，要在力行中才能有所領悟。
One can only understand the true meaning of compassion and giving when one actually carry out in daily life.
• 擺脫惡習、改變過去錯誤的人生方向，帶給家庭平安吉祥，也造就了家庭福氣。
Get rid of our bad habits and right our path will bring our family peace and fortune.
• 無私念就不會分別人我，生出是非。
Selflessness and altruism can eliminate if not minimize discrimination, prejudice and interpersonal conflicts
• 有慈悲心的人，就會有柔和的態度；慈悲柔和可以化解人的煩惱。
Compassion can influence us to exhibit a gentle and calm attitude; compassion and calm together can then lessen our anxiety.

Thanks everyone for the hard work!
證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 如果人人能將自己的愛心奉獻出來，眾志成城、聚沙成塔，就變成很大的力量，還怕什麼事情做不到呢？
If individuals can devote their love and passion together, such accumulated efforts can amount to enormous power that can accomplish any things.
• 要將凡夫心轉向聖人心，最重要是要「慈悲喜捨」。
Compassion and giving are what makes an ordinary person to become a saint.
• 能為人群付出，就是智慧，也是發揮生命良能。
Contributing to the humankind leads growth of wisdom and development of full potential.
• 修行要先堅固信心，才能穩定精進。
Strong confidence enables us to be steadfast on the way to enlightenment.
• 人生三寶：腳走好路，手做好事，口說好話。
Three principles of life: follow the right path, do good deeds, and speak kind words.
