台灣傳統週藝師到訪 羅州好熱鬧
羅德島州華人基督教會中文學校校長孫幼偉透露,這天還有人攜妻帶子,遠從麻州新貝福市、秋河市趕來,逗留了一整個下午,直呼揀到寶,學會不少台灣民藝的DYI做法,甚至中國傳統的經書文化。
王宏隆這天沒舞獅,但拿出毛筆,為到訪著寫吉祥詩。一名西人還特地要教會同工宋秀珍幫忙翻譯,請王宏隆為她母親取個諧音的中文名字,再用毛筆寫下來。
龔一舫在星星中文學校校長王曉元逛到攤位,聊開來時,還拿出他的展覽目錄,介紹他的真正專長在葫蘆雕,只是長途旅行,葫蘆不好帶。
孫幼偉表示,他在台灣長大,卻從沒機會在同一時間見到那麼多種台灣民藝,這趟來的每位藝師,又都是大師級人馬,展示的技藝真是沒話講,實在應該讓更多人都能欣賞到。
「台灣傳統週」藝師團已於七日轉赴下一站底特律,預定五月中旬抵紐約。

羅州 MathCounts 華生囊括前四名
羅德島州日前舉行MathCounts數學競賽,三女一男的四名華裔學生,囊括前四名,五月十二日、十三日時,將代表該州前往佛羅里達州奧蘭多,參加MathCounts全國競賽。
獲得羅州MathCounts數學競賽前四名的學生為,余哲寅(Zane Yu),蔣菁青(Ava
Jiang),鄭可心(Kexin Zheng),田可玉(Vivian Tian)。
Mathcounts是個創立於1982年,面向全美各州6、7、8年級學生,最具知名度的中學數學競賽活動,旨在通過趣味性、挑戰性數學項目,激勵學生追求卓越,培養自信與好奇心,也藉以奠定他們將來學習科學、技術或工程等領域學問的基礎。美國現任總統歐巴馬(Obama)等歷任總統,都曾在白宮舉行儀式,表揚MathCounts項目獲獎者。
今年擔任羅德島州代表隊降練的Meg
Medeiros表示,今年羅州參加全國競賽的代表隊將有三名女生,令人驕傲。她也說明,MathCounts全國賽也是個鼓勵團隊合作的活動,四個回合的競賽中,包含一個團隊回合,還設有進步最大團隊獎、最佳團隊精神獎。五月份的全國MathCounts比賽,將在ESPN及MathCounts官網上直播。
今年的羅德島州MathCounts冠軍是東格林威治(East Greenwich)市Archie R.Cole中學八年級學生,在數學上家學淵源的余哲寅。他的哥哥,幾年前也得過羅州MathCounts第一名。他父親余斌曾是Kumen的出色數學教師,現仍主持4D學習中心。余斌表示,他們鼓勵余哲寅自由發展興趣,未刻意施壓,但余哲寅熱愛數學及科學,總是很自覺的學習。課餘他還喜歡打球、游泳,個性調皮但可愛。余哲寅也是AMC8數學競賽今年的羅德島州第一名。
獲得第二名的是Wheeler學校七年級學生蔣青青。她在六年級時,曾參加過MathCounts競賽,獲得羅州第十八名,今年成績躍升為第二名,她感到非常開心。蔣青青體型嬌小,但拼搏精神很強,她熱愛鋼琴和族球,在Blackwatch少年俱樂部踢左後衛,每週集訓兩次。她的父母形容她並不是最聰明,但確是最用功的小孩。他們全家都很感謝Wheeler學校數學老師對蔣青青的鼓勵與幫助。
獲得第三名的是普域敦斯(Providence)市Nathanael
Greene中學的八年級學生鄭可心。她從中國來美才一年多,儘管上英語課仍感具挑戰性,但在數學上卻已比同齡學生優秀。三個月前還住在加州時,她就已開始學十年級的數學了。課餘她喜歡做手工、閱讀、游泳,打乒乓球。
獲第四名的是巴靈頓(Barrington)中學田可玉。她在家中排行老二,常主動幫助父母照顧弟妹。除了喜愛的數學及科學課外,其他的課餘時間,她愛練鋼琴、彈薩克斯風,還參加了學校裏的兩個樂隊。父母稱讚她是一名勤奮聰穎又體貼的小孩。(悠悠)
