Emmy：我在2016年加入了学校的故事妈妈团队，一开始沒有什么特別的想法，只是觉得自己孩子老是在萱萱妈妈的故事课上调皮捣乱很不好意思。虽然我现在没有在自己孩子班上说故事，但我仍然会和他们一起聊聊我要说的故事，有时他们也会和我分享他们听的有趣故事。更重要的是在这二年多我也成长了不少，不管是和故事团队一起分享还是在课上孩子们的讨论都让我对生命教育有了更多思考和理解。

Julie：我非常高兴有机会作为故事妈妈的一员为FDIS的小朋友进行生命教育。两年多的进班授课，我感受到通过绘本故事的形式对小朋友进行生命教育是非常生动并受到小朋友喜爱的。我们不仅讲述绘本里的故事，同时结合故事以问题和活动的形式引导小朋友思考生命。我们的故事、问题和活动都是围绕生命教育的四个方面进行的：对自身的理解和接纳、小朋友之间的相处之道、对自然和社会环境的认知和保护/建造、树立人生信念。就像每片树叶都不尽相同一样，每个小朋友对这些议题的理解和擅长都不一样，所以我们的生命教育会从不同的方面去提高学生的生命认知和能力。学校的教育就像是小朋友的正餐，而生命教育则像为小朋友带去美味的下午茶。希望小朋友们在丰富的正餐和美味的下午茶的滋养下对生命更加理解、尊重、敬畏和热爱！

2017年秋Andrew妈妈Annie，Michelle爸爸Leo，Eddy妈妈Kaka和Masami妈妈Eiko加入，故事爸妈在一年和二年级共五个班级讲故事。因为有故事爸爸Leo的加入，二年级的性教育课程可以男女分开授课，效果非常好。Eiko来自日本，她用非母语的中文给中文非母语的孩子们讲故事，让同学们在接受生命教育之外对中文的学习更有动力和兴趣。

In the fall of 2017, Andrew's mom Annie, Michelle's dad Leo, Eddy's mom Kaka, and Masami's mom Eiko joined in. They tell stories in five classes of first and second graders. With Leo, a father, joining in, the sex education curriculum in second grade could be delivered separately to boys and girls. The effect has been very impressive. Ms. Eiko is from Japan, with Chinese as her second language. She tells stories to the students in CSL (Chinese as Second Language) class. On top of Life Education, it also makes the students more motivated and interested in learning Chinese.

Annie：人生至要无如教子，父母的重要岗位是别人不可替代的。在孩子的成长过程中，父母的学习意识和完善自己养育能力有助于创建好的教育理念和孩子个性上的成长。我作为复旦国际三年级孩子AndrewL的妈妈，我有责任和学校一起密切配合来培养我们的下一代，使之成为对社会、对人类发展有用的栋梁之才。让故事绘本课程帮助孩子们的心理健康成长。让看似简单的道理和绘本故事精髓内化到孩子的生命中去，开启孩子的光明心性。伴随着孩子一起成长。

Annie：The most important thing in life is to raise children, and the importance of parents is irreplaceable.

In the process of children's growth, parents' awareness of learning and the development of their parenting ability help to build a good education core and facilitate the development of children's personality.

As the mother of Andrew L in G3, I have the responsibility to work closely with the school to enable the next generation to grow to become a useful pillar for society and human development. The picture book course helps children grow up mentally healthy. The seemingly simple truth and essence of picture books are internalized into the children's lives to brighten the heart and accompany growth.

Leo：我是17年秋加入的故事团队，当时的想法很简单，就是想在女儿班里讲故事而已。记得第一堂课是《小北极熊的第一次冒险》，准备的也算充分，现场还是出了不少状况，深刻体会到给一个孩子讲故事和给一群孩子讲故事的巨大差异。如何控制故事节奏和时间，如何抓住孩子们的注意力，如何深入启发激发想象，从故事情节调整、语言结构重建，从引导提问到游戏体验都需要精心设计，好在在萱萱妈妈和其他新老故事妈妈的帮助鼓励下有惊无险的走了过来，一时感慨颇多。在这里我要谢谢故事妈妈让更多的孩子们能够体会到故事书里的爱、智慧和生命的温暖，让童年更加欢乐更有滋味，希望故事妈妈越办越好！

Kaka：进入故事妈妈团队源于对绘本的喜爱。大约在Eddy还不能进保育院的年岁，我便每天推着童车游走在东京的大街小巷。我们经常两点一线从白天到黑夜窝在那个充满故事的茑屋书店，徘徊在艺术和绘本区域。和许多妈妈宝宝一样在那里一起阅读，共同感觉那里的气息。在Eddy就要进入小学阶段时，我们选择回到国内。有幸来到FDIS，不由的加入了故事妈妈这个团队，把好故事带给孩子们，一切都是最好的安排。

Kaka:I joined the Story Mom team because of my love for picture books.

Around the age Eddy wasn’t able to get into a nursery, I was pushing a stroller through the streets and alleys of Tokyo every day.

We used to spend the whole day in the Tsutaya bookstore, wandering in the arts and picture books area.

Like many other mothers with their kids, we read together and enjoyed the experience.

When Eddy was about to enter primary school, we choose to return to China.

Fortunately, we came to FDIS and I could not help joining the Story Mom team to bring good stories to the children. It’s a perfect arrangement.

All the kids like Eddy enjoy the story. G1 Class in Oct. 2017

Eiko：二，三年级的汉语非母语班是由施老师带领的五位日本同学，两位韩国同学，两位印度同学，一位美籍华裔同学共十位同学组成的。虽然大家在日常生活中不常用汉语，可是这并没有阻碍同学们对汉语的喜爱。每次讲故事都是在欢笑声中开始，同学们都会聚精会神地听，都很喜欢听我讲故事。偶尔有听不懂的词语，老师和同学们都会使用英文以及日文互相解释直到明白为止。有的故事的内容会让同学们瞬间融入到故事的情景里。同学们黑亮的眼眸是对我最大的鼓励！在同学们欢笑中又让我感到了美丽童年时代所有的安心感。在备课中一次又一次地学到了生命教育的重要性。每一堂课对我来说都是受益匪浅。我没有付出什么，反而同学们和故事妈妈同仁以及老师给了我挑战的机会和力量。真心希望还有更多的家长们能加入到我们的团队来。谢谢！

Liping：非常感谢学校一如既往地支持故事妈妈的生命教育！我给过去四届的一年级学生讲过故事，几乎每个孩子都喜欢听故事，我们知道故事总是有办法。有家长很感激我对孩子们的付出，事实上，我更感激孩子们对故事妈妈的喜爱和肯定，通过故事和其后的讨论/活动我们一起学到很多，非常享受。欢迎大家的加入，我笃信父母的身体力行是对孩子最有影响力的教育。Liping:ManythankstotheschoolasalwaysforsupportingStoryMom'sLifeEducation!
