班长工作总结

班长工作总结
这学期即将结束,下面就是我们班的工作总结。 1.活动方面 这学期主要是“庆教师节 20 周年”活动。我们向老师汇报了 学习成绩，给了老师一份喜悦，报答了老师的培育之恩。并且 形式与往年不同,这次我们有三种方式。第一种是给老师一个承 诺 , 同学们根据自身的不同情况 , 在学习、行为、生活等多个方 面发现了自己的缺点,提出了许多新目标,并给了老师一个承诺, 然后努力去实现了诺言。第二种是写出你最想对老师说的一两 句话 , 一是对老师提出的意见或建议 , 二是你平时没机会跟老师 说的知心话,或者是你对老师工作的想法。我们把同学们的心里 话及对老师的祝福写进了我们的墙报 , 并时刻提醒自己 ,实现对 老师的诺言。第三种是写一篇以“你最难忘的老师”为题的一 千字左右的通讯 ,记叙你和老师度过的美好时光 , 回忆你和老师 的难忘经历,表达你对老师的感激之情。同学们踊跃地参加了， 并评出了相应的奖项，使同学们受到了深刻的教育和启发。 9 月 28 日，我校举办了一年一度的校运会。我们积极鼓励同 学们参加，刻苦训练，充分发挥了团队精神，做到友谊第一， 比赛第二。同时，我们排练了一个新颖的运动员入场式，统一 了服装 ,展现了我们班的特色，张扬了我们班的活力。同时 , 不 参加比赛的同学还组成了一个拉拉队.他们虽不在运动场上竞技, 却也为我们的运动健将加油鼓劲 , 呐喊助威 ,打出了一番气势。 虽然由于各方面因素，我们只取得了第八名，但我们也尽力 了。我们召开了班委会，总结了失败的原因，争取在下一次比 赛中取得好成绩。 接着，我们参加了学校组织的文艺花会。其项目包括：书 法、绘画、歌咏、相声、小品、舞蹈以及器乐等。我们组织同 学们踊跃地参加，发挥他们的特长，为班级争得荣誉。其中， 我班的校庆小报最为引人注目，它制作精美，排版整齐，得到 了老师们的一致好评，以第一名的成绩夺得了桂冠。同时，在 集体项目上，我们唱了一曲《七子之歌》，淋漓尽致地把我们 班独特的东西表现了出来，虽没取得名次，但却凝聚了 58 人的
1

力量。我们充分利用了课余时间来排练，齐心协力，团结互 助，最终以年级第二的成绩为班级争得了荣誉。 此外,我们进行了“暑期三个一”活动的交流。这次活动检验 了同学们完成活动的情况,更好地了解了同学们的暑期生活。同 时 , 我们与同学们进行了交流 , 评选出了优秀暑期活动作品。我 们参加了少先队建队活动，了解了少先队的建队历史，为共产 主义事业而奋斗。我们还共同庆祝了中华人民共和国五十五岁 华诞，了解了祖国的历史，关心了祖国的发展，为了祖国的繁 荣昌盛，刻苦学习，不断努力。然后，我们的两名班委进行了 主题班会的观摩。这样让我们学习到了别人的优点，发现了自 己的不足，从而更好地取长补短，积累经验，把我们班的主题 班会搞得更新颖，更富有创造性。接着 ,我们选出了优秀的同学 去团校培训，学习中国共产主义青年团章程，知道中国共产主 义青年团的性质、奋斗目标、在现阶段的基本任务、基本要 求、入团标准、团旗、团徽、团歌、团员证以及简介。最终， 我们又有 8 位同学光荣地成为了团员。最后，我们举行了迎圣 诞主题班会，发挥了同学们的才能，度过了一个快乐的圣诞。 2．学习方面 首先, 我们进行了期初考试,考察了同学们在暑假里的复习情 况。在考试中,同学们的成绩并不是很理想。这可能有各种原因, 如 : 暑假里复习工作做得不是很充分 , 同学们没有意识到复习的 重要性,以及各种知识在平时掌握得不是很扎实。针对这次考试 , 我们进行了总结与讨论 , 了解了同学们在学习上的弱点 , 帮助同 学们确定了本学期的目标 ,表了决心,希望能在新的一学期中挑 战自己,超越自己。 这学期，我们还制定了一个加分减分的个人积分榜，激发同 学们学习的欲望，约束同学们的行为规范。它有一套较为完整 的赏罚措施，底分为 60 分，根据同学们的学习成绩、行为举 止、获奖情况、个人表现进行适当地加分减分。同时，我们将 会在每周五的班会课上，向同学们及时准确地反馈目前的积分 情况，使同学们更直观地了解了自己在过去一周的表现，明白 自己在班级中所处的地位。这样，分数少的同学会在接下来的 一周中更加努力，争取加分。而分数多的同学会更上一层楼 ,以 此在班级中营造一个你追我赶的氛围。 接着我们进行了期中考试，同学们的数学和物理成绩不是很 理想。针对这一点，我们班委进行了讨论，对同学们的学习方 法和态度进行了总结，发现了许多漏洞。于是，我们便制定了
2

计划，帮助同学们改变了错误的学习模式，使他们在学习上变 得主动。然后，我们召开了家长会，把成绩汇报给了家长，还 举行了家长开放日，让家长更好地了解了我们的课堂。 3．常规方面 本学期，我们实行了更有效的管理制度。每天，由一名班干 部和一名同学共同管理。他们要根据赏罚措施以及同学的表现 适当地加分减分，放学后向班主任汇报。同时，他们将督促值 日生 , 并等待学校的有关人员来检查 , 把检查情况详细如实地填 在常规周志表上。而每节课下课后,当天负责人便会主动请任课 老师对当天的课堂纪律、课堂气氛作出评价,如果发现不足之处, 便可以及时地改正。此外，我们还重新排了一下值日生表，根 据个人的能力安排了劳动任务，选出负责人，这样就能更好地 打扫好班级了。并且我们也详细地说明了各班委的工作细则 ,例 如 : 中队长要负责①组织班会活动 , 结合学校任务、时事、节日 等开展活动。②负责每两周一次的班委会议,每次总结常规和学 习情况。这样使班委更好地做好自己的工作,完成自己的任务。 总之,我们希望在初一的基础上,扬长避短,争取使初二(12)班 在稳步发展的基础上,寻求新的突破与新的提高。

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,enough trials to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human,enough hope to make you happy? Always put yourself in others ’ shoes.If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the other person, too. The happiest of people don ’ t necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.Happiness lies for those who cry,those who hurt, those who have searched,and those who have tried,for only they can appreciate the importance of peoplewho have touched their lives.Love begins with a smile,grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can ’ t go on well in lifeuntil you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die,you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is cryig.Please send this message to those people who mean something to you,to those who have touched your life in one way or another,to those who make you smile when you really need it,to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down,to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship.And if you don ’ t, don ’ t worry,nothing bad will happen to you,you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone ’ s day with this message.Since we went to school, we have access to English all the time, because it is one of the necessary subjects. Before we attend college, we keep our attention on the grammar, but now college means the new stage and we should pay attention to practical English. Here are some suggestions.First, it is important to speak out loudly. The purpose of learning English is to communicate with foreigners, so as to get to know more about the world. Grammar is not the only thing we care about. What we should do is to open our mouths and improve our ability to use spoken English. It begins with reading textbooks. When we listen to the tapes and repeat many times, then our d.President Trump, as he often does, had a few things to sayAfter admitting that he had been lonely over the holidays, Trump took advantage of his first public appearance of the new year Wednesday to air lingering grievances, make multiple false claims and reinforce recent decisions that have rattled financial markets and his party’s leaders.As he held forth for more than 90 minutes before a small pool of reporters and photographers, members of his Cabinet, ostensibly called to the White House for a meeting, sat quietly around a long conference table.Trump defended his decision last month to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria and sharply cut the deployment to Afghanistan, moves that disturbed Republican allies in Congress and prompted the resignation of Defense Secretary James N. Mattis. In doing so, he contradicted his own recent claim that the U.S. had achieved its objectives of total victory over Islamic State militants in Syria.“Look, we don't want Syria,” he continued. “We're talking about sand and death. That's what we're talking about. We're not talking about vast wealth. We're talking about sand and death,” he said, seemingly contrasting the war-wracked country with Iraq and its vast oil reserves.Iran “can do what they want there, frankly,” he added, a comment likely to unnerve officials in Israel, who have worried that a U.S. withdrawal from its positions in eastern Syria would allow Iran to expand its influence there.“It’s not my fault,” he said. “I didn’t put us there.”Trump offered little further clarity on the U.S. withdrawal from Syria, which he initially said would take place in 30 days, saying now that the pullout will “take place over a period of time.”Later, in a long riff about Afghanistan, Trump seemed to endorse Moscow’s 1979 invasion of the country — an act that the U.S. viewed as an attempt to spread communism and waged a long, covert operation to combat during the Carter and Reagan administrations.“The reason Russia was in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia,” Trump said, making a case to leave the policing of hot spots in the Mideast and Central Asia to countries in the region. “They were right to be there. The problem is it was a tough fight.”The Soviet Union eventually was bankrupted by its Afghan war, Trump added. “Russia used to be the Soviet Union. Afghanistan made it Russia, because they went bankrupt fighting in Afghanistan.”Historians generally agree that the Russian invasion and subsequent occupation of much of Afghanistan was one of several factors that contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union, although the country never went bankrupt.For years, Republicans have credited President Reagan with bringing an end to the Soviet Union by his aggressive increase in U.S. military spending.Trump’s comments stood in stark contrast to the view Mattis espoused in the resignation letter he presented last month after failing to convince the president to hold off on withdrawing from Syria.“We must do everything possible to advance an international order that is most conducive to our security, prosperity and values, and we are strengthened in this effort by the solidarity of our alliances,” Mattis wrote.Mattis’ comments clearly stung Trump, who responded last month with criticism of his former Pentagon chief. On Wednesday, he stepped that up, claiming that he fired Mattis.“What's he done for m e? How had he done in Afghanistan? Not too good,” Trump said. “As you know, President Obama fired him, and essentially so did I.”Obama did not fire Mattis, although the general did retire several months early in 2013 from his position as the head of the military’s Central Command after dissenting from Obama administration policy decisions.Tuesday was Mattis’ final day at the Pentagon. Trump, in a fit of pique after the resignation letter became public, had moved up Mattis’ termination dateIn addition to his foreign policy comments, Trump also downplayed December’s stock market losses, which erased all positive gains for the year, as “a little glitch” and asserted — wrongly — that there are “probably 30-35 million” immigrants in the U.S. illegally. The nonpartisan Pew Research Center estimates that as of 2016, there were 10.7 million unauthorized immigrants living in the country, a number that has declined in recent years.Trump repeated his call for Democrats to agree to $5.6 billion in funding for a border wall, and expressed surprise not to have received overtures from them over the holidays to negotiate an end to the government shutdown.“I was in the White House all by myself for six or seven days,” he said. “It was very lonely. My family was down in Florida. I said, ‘Stay there and enjoy yourself.’ I felt I should be here just in case people wanted to come and negotiate the border security.”Trump, who met later in the day with congressional leaders away from TV cameras, has already dismissed a funding proposal from House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi that includes $1.3 billion in border security funding.While leaving the door open to a compromise, Trump continued to argue for the importance of a wall, pointing to other examples of barriers. He incorrectly asserted that Obama’s Washington residence is surrounded by a 10-foot wall and cited the Vatican, which he said “has the biggest wall of them all.”“When they say the wall is immoral, then you better do something about the Vatican,” he said. “Walls work.”As Trump spoke, a “Game of Thrones”-style movie poster teasing Iran sanctions — “SANCTIONS ARE COMING,” it read — lay unfurled across the table directly in front of him. But he made no remarks on the subject.He did, however, comment on Sen.-elect Mitt Romney of Utah, who wrote in the Washington Post on Tuesday that he was troubled by Trump’s “deep descent in December” and that his deficit in “presidential leadership in qualities of character … has been most glaring.”“I wish Mitt could be more of a team player,” Trump said. “And if he’s not, that’s OK too.”Seeming to warn Romney about the fate that lies ahead for Republican lawmakers who vocally criticize him and his presidency, Trump boasted that he “got rid of” former Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Bob Corker of Tennessee, both of whom opted not to seek new terms last ye ar.Accusing both men of seeking publicity in taking stands against him, Trump suggested that Flakewould be seeking a job as a paid cable news contributor — or perhaps in another profession that Trump himself once plied.“Jeff Flake is now selling real estate or whatever he’s doing,” he said dismissively.
