Recycled Cooking Oil Makes Eco-Friendly Soap!
On October 8, 2024, Beidou Elementary School invited Ms. Jiang Fengying from Taichung Maple Eco-School to teach students a fun lesson on how to use leftover cooking oil to make soap. The oil came from the school’s lunch, and Ms. Jiang showed how it can be turned into useful soap, helping protect the environment. With the help of school volunteers, the students watched closely as the recycled oil was turned into soap. Then, they got to try it themselves! They used soap liquid to clean their shoes, and it worked great. One student excitedly said, “Wow! My shoes look new!” This lesson made the students excited about protecting the environment, and one student even asked if they could bring leftover oil from home to make more soap. The activity taught them that small actions, like recycling, can help the planet.
2024年10月8日，北斗國小邀請來自台中楓樹環保學堂的江鳳英老師，為學生們帶來了一堂有趣的課程，教他們如何使用剩餘的食用油來製作香皂。這些油來自學校的午餐，江老師展示了如何將它們轉化為實用的香皂，幫助保護環境。在學校志工的協助下，學生們仔細觀察回收的油如何變成香皂。接著，他們親自動手，使用肥皂液來清潔自己的鞋子，效果非常好。一位學生興奮地說：「哇！我的鞋子變新了！」這堂課讓學生們對環保充滿了興趣，甚至有學生問是否可以帶家裡的回鍋油來製作更多的香皂。這次活動讓他們了解到，小小的環保行動，像是回收，對保護地球有很大的幫助。

To help students and teachers know what to do during an earthquake, schools across Changhua County had an earthquake drill this morning. Everyone followed three important steps: "Drop, Cover, and Hold On." They also remembered the “three don’ts”: "Don’t talk, Don’t run, and Don’t push," and quickly went to a safe place.
At 9:21 a.m., when the earthquake alarm went off, all the schools did a one-minute drill. Deputy County Magistrate Lin Tian-Fu visited Beidou Elementary School to see how they practiced.
Deputy County Magistrate Lin said that after the alarm, all the students followed the rules well and quickly moved to safe areas with their teachers. The teachers helped keep everyone calm and made sure all the students were safe.
The Changhua County Government said that the county has drills like this every year to help everyone stay safe during real disasters. Beidou Elementary School was chosen as a model school this year, and they worked with the fire department to practice helping injured people and putting out fires.

為了幫助學生和老師知道在地震時該怎麼做，今天上午彰化縣的學校進行了地震演練。大家都遵守了三個重要步驟：「趴下、掩護、穩住」，並且記住「三不原則」：不說話、不跑、不推，迅速前往安全的地方。

歡迎 Teacher Jade 加入北斗國小教學團隊
Hello, my name is Jade Shen, and I'm from New York City, America. I'm 21 years old, and I graduated from Stony Brook University with a bachelor's in Linguistics. In America, I have many different interests, so I'm like a one-person show over here. I interned at Stony Brook University to help revitalize a language in Indonesia. I also shadowed speech pathologists at NYU Hospital. I figure skate, enjoy art, learn music, photography, dance, programming, and I took juggling classes. I've also learned many different languages. I took three semesters of ASL (American Sign Language), and I also know some Korean and Japanese. I'm looking forward to learning Mandarin while I'm here. Beyond Mandarin, I'm also looking forward to learning Taiwanese and maybe a little bit of Taiwanese Sign Language. I’m excited to teach English to the kids at Beidou Elementary School and make many connections. Thank you.

Under the guidance of the principal and Teacher Jade, Teacher Chialun led the second graders from Class 203 to the meeting room for a fun English and agri-food activity centered around making pizza.
Teacher Jade taught the students the names of different pizza ingredients in English. The principal then guided them step-by-step through kneading the dough, spreading tomato sauce, adding toppings, and baking the pizzas. Soon, the delicious smell of freshly baked pizza filled the room.
The students' smiles showed how much they enjoyed the activity, and their spoken English demonstrated how they were learning in a fun and practical way.
We look forward to more exciting events where English and agri-food learning come together! (9/12/2024)
在校長和Jade老師的指導下，佳倫老師帶著203班的二年級小朋友來到會議室，參加了一場有趣的英語與食農結合的披薩製作活動。Jade老師教小朋友用英語說出各種披薩食材的名稱。接著校長帶領小朋友一步步完成揉麵團、塗抹番茄醬、添加配料，並將披薩送進烤箱。不久後，香噴噴的披薩味道瀰漫整個房間。
小朋友們的笑容顯示他們對這個活動的喜愛，而他們的英語口說也展現了他們在有趣又實用的情境中學習英語的成果。
我們期待更多英語與食農學習結合的精彩活動！
