First, the choice of life-oriented content
1. Determine the activity content from the questions that children are interested in.
Interest is the best teacher. The outline points out that we should be good at discovering things that children are interested in, pay attention to children's reactions in activities, be sensitive to children's needs, and make timely and appropriate responses. In a morning exercise, when I organized children to play trampoline, Jessica Hester Hsuan told me excitedly: "Teacher, my bed can bounce people up like a trampoline in kindergarten. I tried. " "Hey, Jessica Hester Hsuan has a trampoline at home!" When other children heard what I said, they also rushed to say, "My big sofa is also a trampoline, and my pillow is also a small trampoline ..." At this moment, Xiaoxiao's child shouted, "My family has a spring dog. As long as you press the switch, the dog will bounce, just like the trampoline in kindergarten, because it has springs in it. " After hearing what he said, some children also found out: "There are many springs on the trampoline!" " Someone asked, "Jessica Hester Hsuan, is there a spring on your bed?" ""No, you can bounce without it. " "Cheat" some children retorted, and they argued. Can you bounce without a spring? At this point, children's interests all point to this problem. So the "elasticity" of scientific activities naturally arises.
2. Choose activities from festivals that children are familiar with.
Festivals are an important symbol of social life, not only the reflection of cultural characteristics, but also the embodiment of humanistic spirit. Especially the traditional festivals that children are familiar with, such as Spring Festival, Children's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., are all available curriculum resources. Take March 8th Women's Day as an example. The woman that children are most familiar with is their mother, so I want them to know their mother, her work, her hard work for this family and everything she has done for me. So as to stimulate children's love for their mothers, and then inspire children: "What have you done for your mother, and how are you going to make your mother's holiday happy?" Let children know that love is two-way, and arouse their desire to make small gifts for their mothers. So the activities of "Mother's Day" and "Making Small Gifts" were very successful.
3. Produce activity content from the dialogue between children and nature.
The alternation of seasons, the changes of animals and plants, meteorology and customs are all closely related to children's lives. Nature is magical. Children have strong curiosity and rich imagination. They live in a world full of fairy tales and myths, which adds many new activities to children. For example, leading children to outdoor activities, when children see the changes of everything when the wind blows, they spread their wings of imagination one after another: leaves rustle, that is the wind girl singing; Flowers bend over, that is the wind girl dancing; The little girl's skirt fluttered, and the wind girl was playing hide-and-seek with her ... At this time, she took advantage of the trend and launched the language creation activity of "Where is the Wind?" Another example is: when children go on a spring outing, they find the changes of everything in spring and talk about the beauty of spring excitedly, so they seize this opportunity and establish the activity content of "looking for spring".
Second, the process of implementing life-oriented activities
Let life enter the classroom.
Life-oriented classroom can make children feel lively and interesting, full of human touch, and returning to life has been increasingly recognized by the education sector. For example, when I organized my children to carry out the activity of "Perceiving the quantity within 6", I arranged the activity room as a "supermarket" and let the children be "customers". Every child has several idea cards within 6 years. With one idea card, you can buy an item with the same number as this idea, and you can also buy several items with the same number as this idea. The reappearance of this life scene makes children feel kind and interesting, gain knowledge from it and develop their abilities. Sometimes I also introduce real life into the classroom. For example, in the activity of fruit salad, I put the fruits brought by my children according to their varieties, then let them look at the fruits, say the fruits, understand the shapes and different tastes of the fruits, and finally wash and cut the fruits, make fruit salads and taste them together. In this series of activities, children experienced the joy of life and learned the skills of life. Activities such as "Sweet Vegetables" and "Sweet Popcorn" are organized so that children can experience life. Bringing life into the classroom has injected new vitality into our teaching activities.
From classroom to life.
Nature and society are living textbooks. We should make full use of all kinds of educational resources, broaden children's living and learning space, guide children into kindergartens and integrate into nature and society. In preschool education, we should not only learn from life, but also guide them to live a better life with what we have learned. For example, children learned to cut window flowers and origami flowers in kindergarten. At home, some children decorate their own small rooms with their parents to improve their living environment, make the environment more beautiful and make their lives better. Some children have learned to make "fruit salad" and often show their skills at home and enjoy life. After learning the rules of safe traffic, some children stopped their parents from running red lights and asked them to cross the zebra crossing, which contributed to creating a civilized and safe urban environment.
Our education moves from classroom to life, which opens a vast new world for children's growth.
