1 Significance of environmental protection education in kindergartens
With the development of science and technology in China, the problem of environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious. Not only bad weather such as global warming appears, but also environmental problems such as land desertification, white pollution, sandstorm and soil erosion are increasingly plaguing our lives. Environmental education? Educating children on environmental protection from an early age can not only enhance their environmental awareness, but also let them know the importance of the environment to society, create a good environment and enrich their environmental knowledge. Through a series of activities, we can enhance their awareness of environmental protection, cultivate their environmental protection skills, attach importance to environmental protection and lay a good foundation for their growth.
2 kindergarten environmental education should avoid misunderstandings
Environmental protection is a lofty cause. As the future and hope of the motherland, children should pay attention to avoid the following misunderstandings when carrying out environmental education in kindergartens: First, it is forbidden to instill truth in children. Because children's knowledge is narrow and their logical thinking is underdeveloped in the post-kindergarten stage, they should not be urged to protect the environment in a big way, which will reduce their interest in environmental protection. Secondly, we should not ignore the favorable educational factors around us. In the environmental protection education for children, it is necessary to let children feel the fresh air of nature, not only to educate children in words and orally, but also to isolate them from the social environment. Finally, when carrying out environmental education for children, teachers should not neglect the cultivation of children's environmental habits and avoid the inflexibility of classroom teaching, which will not only make it difficult for children to remember environmental knowledge, but also hinder children from forming environmental awareness and reduce the effect of environmental education in kindergartens.
3 Practice kindergarten environmental protection education countermeasures
3. 1 Optimize the way of environmental education
In kindergarten environmental education, teachers can use flexible and targeted courseware and adopt teaching methods acceptable to children to enhance their thinking ability on environmental protection. The application of multimedia courseware can optimize the efficiency of students' understanding of environmental protection knowledge in class, thus improving the conversion rate of environmental protection knowledge in class. Teachers should set up environmental protection materials suitable for children to read, so that children can understand and digest environmental protection knowledge in a dominant position, cultivate children's reading skills, and let children learn the good habit of thinking and reading repeatedly. Teachers help children understand the content and theme of environmental protection through questions and explanations. Because kindergarten children are not as understanding as grown-up children, the application of picture books in kindergarten environmental protection teaching can provide children with intuitive and real visual senses, and make children more receptive to environmental protection knowledge in an illustrated way. Teachers can let children participate in environmental protection teaching through picture books, give play to their initiative in learning and improve their thinking ability. At the same time, it can also cultivate children's early reading ability, make children interested in reading books, and let children master certain reading skills.
3.2 to carry out environmental protection practice teaching
Let children return to nature in teaching, and let children realize the importance of the environment to human beings. Teachers guide children in outdoor classes, let them touch the beauty of nature, play on the lawn, and let them feel the importance of the environment to human beings. In kindergarten teaching, we should combine the local conditions of kindergarten, purposefully infiltrate the content of children's environmental education, and design activities with environmental protection themes for children, so as to increase children's environmental protection knowledge, enrich children's environmental protection knowledge, cultivate children's ways of caring for animals and plants and caring about the surrounding environment, and deepen children's awareness of environmental protection in their own personal experience. Teachers can make children feel the phenomenon of cutting down trees, industrial sewage, black smoke from chimneys, etc. by using painting classes, so as to penetrate the knowledge of environmental protection education, let children intuitively feel the harm of environmental pollution, and develop good environmental awareness and behavior from an early age.
3.3 Deepen children's understanding of environmental protection
In teaching, teachers can let children experience the concept of environmental protection, let children have their own space for observation, thinking and reasoning, and give them some room for development. Teachers should often interact with children to understand their feelings and cognitive level of environmental protection knowledge, so that children can master environmental protection knowledge more easily. Teachers can also inspire children to feel the air in the street and feel the dust and smell in the air; Let children know more about the living environment and habits of animals and arouse their desire to protect animals and the environment. Through these, let children know that plants are not easy to grow. We should protect our living and living environment, care for the flowers and trees around us, and cultivate children's environmental protection behavior. Using kindergarten handicraft class to infiltrate the content of environmental education for children, cans can be decorated into cars, and waste paper can also be made into lovely origami, which not only beautifies the environment, but also saves money, stimulates children's love of beauty, enriches children's environmental knowledge, deepens children's environmental awareness in their own personal experience, and thus transforms it into conscious environmental protection behavior, making kindergarten environmental education fruitful and enhancing children's environmental awareness.
3.4 Cultivate children's awareness of environmental protection
Create a good teaching environment and cultivate children's awareness of environmental protection. In environmental education, children should be subtly aware of the importance of environmental protection, create a beautiful environment, pay attention to the optimization of kindergarten environment, take children as the foundation, and cultivate their environmental awareness. Advocating children's green consumption, caring for urban living environment and reducing the pollution of garbage to cities can increase children's environmental protection knowledge, let children master environmental protection skills, have fun in participating in environmental protection activities and stimulate children's environmental awareness through role-playing. You can also cultivate children's awareness of environmental protection through some activities, so that children's social attitude can penetrate into various environmental protection days, pay attention to environmental protection work in daily life, stimulate children's awareness of environmental protection in arbor day, 1 hour earth blackout, water saving and other environmental protection-related festivals, strengthen children's environmental protection knowledge education in games, and arrange environmental protection theme songs such as "Beautiful Garden on Earth" and "Fish Baby is Sick" with nursery rhymes to cultivate children's awareness of environmental protection.
