First, create an environment with ecological characteristics and carry out ecological education.
My garden is located in Caohu Industrial Park in Xiangcheng District, with green water and green hills, beautiful environment and fresh air. Combined with the surrounding environment, our garden has created an environment with the characteristics of "ecological environment protection", and the whole kindergarten embodies the concept of "green ecology". The kindergarten environment design with the theme of "green forest" combined with light green main color shows great vitality. The layout of the kindergarten's internal environment reflects the utilization of waste materials. The corridor on the first floor is mainly composed of straw hats, fans and sushi curtains, decorated with collected moon cake boxes and paper plates. The second floor, with the theme of "Underwater World", is decorated with materials such as crab shells, tortoise shells and conch shells, so that children can receive a beautiful and harmonious ecological environment education in a subtle way.
In order to let children really experience what should be done to the ecological environment, it is a very good way to create waste recycling bins in kindergartens. For example, each of our classes has set up a "little environmental guardian" waste recycling station. According to the needs of educational theme activities, teachers ask children to collect some safe and hygienic household garbage and put it in the recycling bin. Some of these "waste items" have become raw materials for our fun homemade sports equipment, and some have become daily necessities for our dolls. We sort out the waste materials collected by each class and list them in the art room. There are reed stalks, bottle caps, milk tea cups, instant noodle boxes, branches and so on. Children can make use of these raw materials when performing art activities in the art room. They gradually developed a sense of environmental protection, had a deep affection for these raw materials, and were willing and active in these activities. We conducted a small experiment with the waste bottles and cans collected by the children. One experiment is to let the children learn to scoop the water from the basin into a bottle with a small bottleneck. After the teacher's patient guidance, the children found that when choosing a funnel, the outlet of the funnel should be smaller than the bottle mouth, or the same size, in order to succeed. Therefore, the reuse of waste materials not only cultivates children's awareness of saving, but also cultivates children's ability to think from multiple angles. And tell the children about the impact of littering on the environment. After being thrown away casually, waste batteries will cause damage to soil and water, and after being recycled, they can become useful resources again. Through these actions, children gradually realize the importance of environmental protection. Waste reuse and conservation awareness are important contents of environmental protection.
Two, the use of nature and local unique educational resources for children's ecological environment education.
Mr. Chen Heqin, an educator in China, pointed out: "Children's education should take nature and society as the starting point, so that students can learn directly from nature and society." Nature is a living book that can't be read, and a wonderful picture scroll that can't be read enough is the best classroom for children to grow up. Walking into nature can let children walk into life and discover and know the world with their own eyes. Through on-the-spot observation, let children experience the relationship between human existence and the environment, feel the difference between a good environment and a deteriorating environment, and understand the causes of environmental pollution and destruction, so as to stimulate children's awareness of caring for the environment from an early age.
We use the unique local educational resources to take children into nature. First, I took my children to observe the small river in Caohu Garden, and found that the river was black and smelly, and domestic garbage such as plastic bags and shells floated on the river. Then take the children to feel the natural beauty of Caohu Wetland Park and Suzhou Botanical Garden. Through observation, comparison and collection, we can perceive the diversity of life, discover the changes of life, understand the relationship between the growth of animals and plants and the environment, and stimulate children's feelings of protecting the ecological environment. Then, through the activity of "Little Guardian of Environmental Protection"-"You Throw Me and Pick Me Up", let the children do it themselves, experience the value of environmental protection through actions in Caohu Garden, and realize that "environmental protection should start from me and start from the little things around us".
Third, make use of a normal day's activities to carry out ecological environment education.
Kindergarten activities are colorful, including teaching activities, games, labor and life activities, in which we consciously carry out environmental education. For example, let children learn poems and stories, carry out conversation activities, and initially understand the influence of the environment on people. Use the link of children's hand washing to carry out water-saving education. First, teach children how to wash their hands correctly and save water, cultivate the habit of tightening the faucet after using water, and then hold a "What if there is no water?" Let children know that people, animals and plants can't survive without water on the earth, and educate them to cultivate good habits of saving water from an early age. Use the time of walking to consciously guide them to observe trees, grass and flowers, feel the beautiful scenery, have an emotional tendency to the beautiful environment, and educate children to care for the surrounding plants and trees. We also ask children to collect the remaining waste paper such as paintings, origami and paper cutting, because they can be recycled, which not only saves energy, but also reduces pollution. When eating, educate children not to be picky about food, not to drop rice grains, and cherish the fruits of farmers' uncles' labor, thus establishing children's ecological morality of caring for natural resources.
"Game" is the privilege of children. In the game, children are more receptive and can master environmental protection knowledge in playing, speaking and doing. For example, in the structural game, collect all kinds of cartons, yogurt cups, toothpaste boxes and so on to build. Children know the impact of waste on the environment. We collect rubbish, and every rubbish will become a useful toy in our hands. These items come in different shapes and sizes, leaving a lot of imagination for children. In the game, children will build various houses with milk boxes and decorate railings with yogurt cups ... advertising paper, straws and so on. They are all necessary materials for our teachers to make auxiliary supplies.
In short, children pay more and more attention to the life around them, find beautiful things emotionally, and learn to appreciate and care. Continue to tap the value of natural ecological education and promote the all-round and harmonious development of children's body and mind.
On the collocation of children's clothing
People, whether adults or children, are born to love beauty. These days, I found a strange phenomenon. Sun Hongying in our class wears long-sleeved shirts, sleeveless skirts, loose pants and sneakers in summer. I thought the children should not care too much about their peers' clothes. Unexpectedly, Ren quietly told me that Sun was dressed in a funny way. I asked her why she said that, and she said, This skirt is for summer. Although children are young, they also have their own unique views on the collocation of clothes. Sun must have designed it carefully by himself. After dinner at noon, Sun's mother called to talk about the confusion in family education: she usually pays attention to encouraging Sun to do her own thing, but her ability has been strengthened. She made her own decisions, mixed clothes and didn't listen to her parents' advice, which gave her a headache. I hope the teacher can do something. Hanging up the phone, I was lost in thought again: it is right to encourage children to do more operations and have their own opinions, but it is normal for children to have "unconventional" collocation because they lack the basic knowledge of clothing collocation. Teachers should enrich their knowledge of clothing collocation on the basis of protecting their self-esteem. The next day, I brought a lot of baby clothes, socks and shoes from home and gave the children a vivid common sense lesson. At first, I asked my children to arrange their baby's clothes according to the seasons, such as sweaters, coats, trousers, shoes and sneakers in spring. Summer: short sleeves, shorts, dresses, sandals, etc. Autumn: long sleeves, trousers, sweaters, leather shoes, sports shoes, etc. Winter: cotton-padded clothes, trousers, shoes, gloves, scarves, etc. Then, let the children discuss how to match clothes in different seasons: for example, it is autumn: long sleeves, coats with trousers and sneakers; Sweaters with thick skirts (skirts or suspenders), pantyhose, leather shoes, etc. It's all reasonable and beautiful to wear. Of course, clothing is not a static layer, it changes rapidly, so no matter how you match clothes, as long as it meets the reasonable, beautiful and generous standards. There is also the color matching of clothes, which is more complicated. Children can only understand with age, so I won't say it here. The next day after class, I saw Sun wearing long sleeves and vest, trousers and leather shoes when she came to the garden. Very beautiful!
Today I am a "mother"
During the game time, Hu Hu skipped to the "Museum" and Mao Mao assigned him a role.
At the beginning of the game, Mao Mao found some chairs to put together, let HuHu sleep on them, and always took care of HuHu: "Don't get up! Freeze! " Soon, I heard Mao Mao shout, "The museum is open! The museum is open! " The mother of the doll family came to visit the "museum" with her child in her arms. When she saw Tiger Tiger lying motionless on the chair, she was puzzled and asked, "Why is he lying here?" How can anyone sleep in a museum? " Mao Mao grabbed the doll's mother and said seriously, "I'll tell you later. Now you should follow me! I am a tour guide! "
Then, Mao Mao pointed to the "exhibits" on the table with a small stick and introduced them to the doll's mother: "This is ancient clothes, this is ancient chopsticks, and this is ancient scissors ..." Tiger Tiger lay there, always listening to Mao Mao's introduction, and occasionally turned to look at those "exhibits" with his eyes half open.
Finally, Mao Mao brought the doll's mother to Tiger Tiger, pointed to Tiger lying on the chair and said, "Dear tourists, this is a mummy!" It turns out that the role that Mao Mao arranged for Tiger Tiger is the mummy in the museum!
The doll's mother smiled when she heard the mummy's words. Her laughter made the lying tiger uncomfortable. She also reached out to touch Tiger Tiger's face, and Tiger Tiger couldn't help but open her eyes. This time, Mao Mao was so anxious that he shouted, "Close your eyes, close your eyes!"
Huhu had to close his eyes, and Mao Mao began his introduction: "This is the greatest treasure of our museum. We dug it out of the ground! That was an old man hundreds of years ago ... "Just speaking of this, the tribal tiger was anxious and corrected loudly:" I am not an old man, I am a child! "" "
"Shut up, shut up! How can a mummy talk? " Mao Mao quickly stopped tiger tiger. Tiger tiger fell silent, and he realized that he had forgotten to mummy.
At this time, the mother of the doll family suddenly covered her head with her hands, made a frightened look and shouted, "The mummy is alive! The mummy is alive, "and rushed out of the museum.
Suddenly, there were many people around the entrance of the museum. "Well, well, the museum is closed. Come back tomorrow. " Mao Mao said to the onlookers. Turning around, he told Huhu seriously, "Tomorrow, when you play mother, you must never speak.". You should lie there like a piece of wood. "
I don't know if the tribal tiger listened to the rules formulated by Mao Mao, but only listened to his self-nagging: "I am a child, I am not a grandfather!" Mao Mao was so helpless that he shouted at the tribal tiger, "Oh, dear! You are the mummy who plays grandpa! Do you understand? " At this point, Tiger Tiger seems to suddenly begin to understand and nod with a smile.
I am amazed at the creativity of children's games, and even more surprised that HuHu is willing to play the mummy in the game! Are children happy in the game? Afterwards, I consciously came to the two boys and asked them how they felt about the game. "Mao Mao, what do you think of mummies?" "Because there are mummies in the museum, I have seen them!" "Why do people play with mummies?" "Convenient!" His planning intention is clearly expressed in three words. I asked the tribal tiger again, "Are you uncomfortable lying there?" Tiger tiger shook his head desperately. "Will you fall asleep lying there?" I asked. "I lay there not asleep, I'm listening to Mao Mao, listen to what he said right. I'll go and see where they explained it ... "Huhu described in detail what he thought and did when he was dressed as a mummy.
I sincerely feel the charm of the game. It is a painful process for any child, especially boys, to lie down and not move casually. But because of the role consciousness of dressing as a mummy and the role cognition of "mummy can't move", HuHu did it. He tried to restrain himself, challenge himself and experience the fun of the game. To this end, we should support more such independent games, so that children can experience happiness and development in the games.
