Jason  赫德三年级F班学生

#HDBJ

市集上，美食摊位、茶饮摊位、首饰摊位、游戏摊位一应俱全，每个摊位都是孩子们精心策划的“生意”。他们在这里不仅学会了如何设计产品，更学会了如何销售产品。 

身着锦衣卫服饰的Jason站在自己的摊位前，大声吆喝：“大清仓大甩卖啦！”他的吆喝声吸引了众多目光。 

“只有他们听到我的声音，看到我的摊位才能有机会来买我的产品。”Jason给自己定的目标是要做集市上喊得最大声的人。 

学习过“沉锚效应”的他将产品价格大多定在20元左右，既考虑了成本，也考虑了客户的消费预期。 

Jason的摊位上摆满了各式各样的菊花主题文创品，每一件都是他根据同学们的兴趣精心挑选的。“我选择文创品，因为我觉得这样更有趣。”他解释道。他的菊花手表成为了市集上的热门商品，很快售卖一空。甚至连展台上的那支盛开的真·菊花，都被一位外籍老师买走，只因为Jason向他详细讲解了菊花在中国文化中包含了的多重喻义。 

集市结束后，Jason看着他的钱匣子清点了数额，收获颇丰的他对于这次的选品结果非常满意。市集的喧嚣渐渐平息，孩子们的笑声和吆喝声渐渐远去，其实这场与菊花的约会早已经开始。 

北京的秋天，菊花已经开了好一阵了。 

秋分之后，3年级的同学们带着一盆盆菊花来到课堂，观察生长，照料生活，还打算给它们写“传记”。除了每日观察菊花外，中文组的老师们计划带着同学们去古老的诗歌中寻找“菊花”。 

“每天早上第一节朗读课，我们都会读诗。”Jason的眼睛闪着光，“我最喜欢的是郑思肖的寒菊，‘花开不并百花丛，独立疏篱趣未穷。’让我感觉菊花非常独特，它不想跟别的花一起开放，要坚持做自己。” 

对于学习古诗词时总是最积极的Jason来说，这是他来赫德之后，心心念念的课程。每天的朗读课都是他与诗歌相遇的时刻，而菊花，成为了他们与古代文人对话的桥梁。 

“这一次我们变成了一支菊花，飘到了6位诗人面前，和他们‘面对面’聊天。”Jason兴奋地跑到教室旁的玻璃上，指着自己绘制的穿越之旅。 

从屈原的高洁人格之菊，到陶渊明的诗意自在之菊，再到孟浩然的田园生活之菊，6首诗歌，4个朝代，每一首与菊花有关的诗歌，都是一个故事。他们通过诗歌，与历史上的文人墨客对话，感受着菊花在不同文人眼中的独特魅力。 

朗读、理解、写作，相信在一首又一首诗词的浸润下，同学们的理解和感受会慢慢从读懂诗歌走向读懂诗人。 

这就是赫德小学部语文全课程的一部分，带着学生“认识自然”、“认识社会”、“认识自己”。让每一次的学习过程都从“自我”出发，最终回到“自我”，再形成闭环。 

秋已尽，日犹长。莫负东篱菊蕊黄。 

在课程中，菊花不仅仅是市集中的商品，更是诗歌中的意象，是孩子们学习传统文化的载体。 

在赫德里，学习的主题就像顺应四时的果实，随着四季的轮转自然而然的出现。孩子们通过知识学习、文化体验，感受合作与交流的乐趣，度过散发着中国美学气质的现代校园生活。 

教育，可以是多元的，也可以是生动的。当古老的经典被唤醒，现代元素与传统文化相结合。在菊花的芬芳中，教育的意义正在发生。

Jason，G3 F student

At the fair, a variety of stalls including food, tea, jewelry, and games were all meticulously planned "businesses" by the children. Here, they learned not only to design products but also to market them effectively.

Jason, dressed as a Jinyiwei guard, stood in front of his stall, proclaiming loudly, "Big clearance sale!" His calls drew the attention of many.

"Only by hearing my voice and seeing my stall will they have the chance to buy my products," Jason set his sights on becoming the most vocal presence at the fair.

Having studied the "anchoring effect," he priced most of his products around 20 yuan, balancing cost and customer expectations.

Jason's stall was a treasure trove of various chrysanthemum-themed cultural and creative items, each selected with his classmates' interests in mind. "I chose cultural and creative items because I find them more interesting," he explained. His chrysanthemum watches became a hit at the fair, selling out quickly. Even the real chrysanthemum on display was purchased by a foreign teacher, captivated by Jason's detailed explanation of the multiple meanings of chrysanthemums in Chinese culture.

As the fair came to an end, Jason counted his earnings, pleased with the outcome of his product selection. The noise of the fair gradually subsided, and the laughter and cries of the children faded into the distance, but the rendezvous with chrysanthemums had already begun.

In Beijing's autumn, chrysanthemums have been in full bloom for some time.

After the autumn equinox, third-grade students brought pots of chrysanthemums into the classroom to observe their growth and care for them, even planning to write "biographies" for these flowers. In addition to daily observations, Chinese teachers planned to guide students through ancient poetry in search of "chrysanthemums."

"Every morning in our first reading class, we read poetry," Jason's eyes sparkled with excitement, "My favorite is Zheng Sixiao's poem about cold chrysanthemums, 'Blooming not among a hundred flowers, it stands alone by the sparse fence, its charm never exhausted.' It makes me feel that chrysanthemums are very unique; they don't want to bloom with other flowers, insisting on being themselves."

For Jason, who is always eager to learn ancient poetry, this is the course he has been looking forward to since joining HDBJ. Each reading class is a moment of encounter with poetry, and chrysanthemums have become the bridge for dialogue with ancient literati.

"This time we transformed into a chrysanthemum and floated in front of six poets, chatting with them 'face to face.'" Jason excitedly ran to the glass by the classroom, pointing to his drawing of the journey through time.

From Qu Yuan's chrysanthemum of noble character to Tao Yuanming's chrysanthemum of poetic ease, and then to Meng Haoran's chrysanthemum of pastoral life, six poems spanning four dynasties, each poem related to chrysanthemums tells a story. They converse with historical literati through poetry, experiencing the unique charm of chrysanthemums in the eyes of different poets.

Through the practice of reciting, comprehending, and writing, students' insights and sensitivities are nurtured by a succession of poems, evolving from grasping the verses to grasping the essence of the poets themselves.

This is an integral part of the holistic Chinese language program at HDBJ Primary School, which leads students on a journey to "know nature," "know society," and "know oneself." Each learning experience is designed to originate from an introspective place, returning there to complete a cycle of self-discovery and growth.

As autumn wanes and days linger on, let not the golden chrysanthemum buds by the eastern fence be overlooked.

Within the curriculum, chrysanthemums serve a dual role: they are not just commodities in the marketplace but also symbols in poetry and a vessel for children to engage with traditional culture.

At HDBJ, educational themes blossom with the seasons, emerging organically like the fruits of the earth through the cycle of the four seasons. Through learning and cultural immersion, children revel in the joy of collaboration and communication, experiencing a modern school life imbued with the elegance of Chinese aesthetics.

Education can be multifaceted and dynamic. As ancient classics are revitalized and merged with contemporary elements, the true meaning of education comes to life amidst the aroma of chrysanthemums.
