The child is one year older and more narrow-minded. In the daily class management, I am not only secretly glad of their maturity and understanding, but also inevitably worried and depressed about some trivial things, which can be described as "making me happy and worried".
Sometimes, I am often depressed, which not only reduces my image, but also damages my health and makes me feel bad. Calm down and think about how unworthy it is, so I often reflect on my educational methods. Since the beginning of school, what I feel most is that a small change can often solve the problem.
One of the changes-the charm of the red card
"Reading idiom stories every day" is a part of our special class. Last semester, students mainly took turns to read two minutes before class, and class cadres scored, and made a general evaluation at the end of the term, which was linked to Chinese reading scores. After a semester, I found that the effect was not as good as I expected.
Why is this? Don't children care about their performance and achievements? Obviously not. I'm confused. Once, a child was good at reading, and I rewarded a red card on the spot. Unexpectedly, it attracted a lot of envious voices. I immediately understood that what children need is the "benefits" at their fingertips. The overall evaluation at the end of the term is too far and too empty, and the temptation is not strong. So, this semester, I changed my method. Every time you finish reading it, you will get something immediately. With this red star card, children are so happy. Some children can tell stories vividly in their own words, so they get more rewards. It's been almost two months, and I find that almost every child will never forget his task. He often writes idioms on the blackboard a few days in advance, which is much better than last semester.
In this way, a small change will enable children to accumulate more idioms, gain more honors and gain more happiness.
The second change-the temptation of money
More and more children love reading and become bookworms. Therefore, the children cheered when they learned that Xinhua Bookstore was coming to the school to sell books. I told them to take good care of their money, take it with them and never lose it.
However, as soon as the morning labor time passed, Yuanyuan told me with tears that her money was gone. I listened, blaming her for not listening to my advice and putting the money in the pencil box, while secretly worrying. If we don't solve this problem before buying books, there is basically no hope, because it is difficult for children to grasp themselves in the face of all kinds of books. I've been talking about it all morning. I brought most of the first-grade children. I have always been proud of them, and my children can deeply feel my trust in them. However, children will inevitably make mistakes. What I want to do is actually how to guide the children who have made mistakes to the right path. Blame and intimidation can't solve the problem. I should arouse the child's feelings of self-respect and self-love and let him go astray. After listening to my heartfelt words, the children were quiet, but I know that the children who took the money were not calm.
But the morning meeting class was over, no children came to pay back the money, and the math class was over, but nothing happened. The second class is Chinese. I walked into the classroom and expressed my expectation and disappointment for the children. Because I was in a hurry, I gave a "dead order": if I don't find the money before lunch, then our class won't take part in this book buying activity! This time, the classroom is like a frying pan, sighing, begging me, repeatedly accusing the cashier of everything. I said, "Because of your fault, no one can buy books. Will you be calm? " Can this 25 yuan buy away your self-esteem and self-love? Is your dignity too cheap? "Looking at the children's indignation, it suddenly occurred to me that children should have realized their mistakes and must want to correct them. Are you ashamed to talk? How brave it takes to say that you took the money in front of me! Although I promise to keep it secret, don't we adults also make mistakes and often make up for them quietly without anyone knowing? I should have thought of this a long time ago! So I went on to say, "Maybe you wanted to pay back the money long ago, but you just didn't have the courage to tell me. Then, let's put the money back quietly in another way, so that no one will know that you took it. You not only maintained your dignity, but also returned your happiness to Yuanyuan, which brought relaxation to your classmates and pride to me! "
This half-day really gave me the feeling of "love for a long time". I'm really worried. If the money doesn't come back, how should I end up? The lunch bell rang, and I was ready to share this meal with these worried guys in regret. No sooner had I reached the door of the classroom than I heard someone shout, "Miss Wu, I found the money! In Xiaowu's desk, I don't know who stuffed it! " Suddenly, cheers rang out from the whole classroom, not to mention the excitement in my heart.
Afterwards, I said, "No matter who took the money, I feel very happy today, not only because I got the money back, but more importantly, the children got their dignity back, which is priceless." In the future, I believe he will never do such a thing again I'm proud of you! "
In this way, a small change has pulled a child back from the wrong starting point, which is also a particularly profound education for other children.
The third change-plasticine storm
The quiet days passed quickly, and there were troubles to entangle. The clear plasticine was still there in the morning and disappeared at noon. I took it wrong, borrowed it and forgot to wait. Many possibilities have been ruled out, leaving only one result: a child "took it" and left. Alas, being a class teacher is really annoying, but if you are bored, you should do it and do it well.
I asked the "take" child to remedy it in the way he liked, and plasticine didn't appear all day. Seeing that a "spring outing" will be held in two days, we might as well make use of this long-awaited activity again. I declare: I'm not in the mood to take you out until this matter is settled before the picnic. This sentence immediately caused an uproar in the class, and the children were expecting plasticine to appear soon.
On Monday morning, plasticine appeared, and everyone was happy because the picnic could be held. But Yunyun told me that this box of plasticine is new and has not been opened, but his has been used. Obviously, there is something wrong with this box of plasticine. My analysis shows that there are two possibilities: 1. Maybe one of the children paid for it and put it in the desk. His purpose is simple, he wants to have a picnic as scheduled, because I know that picnics are too tempting for children. 2。 The child who "took away" it wanted to make up for his mistakes and express his apologies with a new one.
I can also go with the flow and handle it. But what if it's the first case? No, we have to find out!
One day's deadline came, just like last time, no child admitted to returning plasticine. I was at a loss again, staring blankly at the blank paper in the drawer, and suddenly thought of a way.
I cut the white paper into small pieces of paper of the same size and distributed them to the children, saying, "If you don't take plasticine and put it there, draw a small flower on the paper;" If you don't take it, but you put it there, draw a grass; If you take it, draw a love to show repentance; If you take it back, you will draw two hearts, one for repentance and the other for correction. You don't have to worry, because I'm not a detective, and I'm sure I can't tell who painted these pictures. Think about it and give yourself a little courage to face the test! "
After class, I opened the pieces of paper one by one and felt like playing drums. What if they are all small flowers? Half of them are flowers, and my mood is getting darker and darker. I silently pray that "love" will appear as soon as possible. Ah, I finally saw two side-by-side "loves" appear in front of me! I excitedly said to the children, "I don't know who took the plasticine and who returned it." Since you have the courage to return it and exchange it for a new one, now you bravely admit your mistake, which proves that you are good! "
There are still many changes. Sometimes, such changes are just a second thought. Children in the third grade, big or small, are not young. Some things, if not handled well, will not only be solved, but will also be buried. Therefore, I often reflect on my own educational methods, and strive to make the class spirit healthier and let the children grow stronger.
Look at everything from the perspective of the parties and think about it. I think there will be many ways to change. Children and our hearts will be full of harvest and endless happiness like autumn fields.

Stories about changing attitudes towards life.
There is no tree in the bodhi tree, and the bright mirror is not a table. It's nothing. What dust will catch it there? During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Zen spread to the fifth ancestor, Master Hong Ren, who gave lectures in Huangmei, Hubei Province, with more than 500 disciples, especially the great disciple, Master Shen Xiu. Shen Xiu is also considered as the heir to the mantle of Zen Buddhism. Hongren was old and wanted to find an heir among his disciples, so he told his disciples that everyone should make a collection (a poem with Zen meaning), and whoever did it well would pass it on to him. At this time, Shen Xiu wanted to inherit the mantle, but she was afraid that she would do it for the purpose of inheriting the mantle, which violated the artistic conception of Buddhism's inaction. So he got up in the middle of the night and wrote a song on the wall of the yard. Kiko's body is a bodhi tree and his heart is a mirror. Wipe frequently, and don't create dust. The meaning of this song is to always take good care of your own mentality and state of mind, and resist temptation and all kinds of evil spirits through constant practice. It is a mentality of joining the WTO, emphasizing the role of practice. This understanding doesn't quite agree with the epiphany of Zen Mahayana school, so when everyone saw this ji zi the next morning, they all said it was good, and they all guessed that Meixiu did it, and they admired it. Hong Ren didn't make any comments after seeing it. Because he knew that Shen Xiu had not had an epiphany. At this time, when all the monks in the temple were talking about this ji zi, they were heard by Zen Master Huineng, a fire-fighting monk in the kitchen. Huineng asked others to take him to see this Kiko. It should be noted here that Huineng is illiterate. He can't read. When he heard someone say this Kiko, he said at that time that this person had not understood the real meaning. So he made another Kiko himself and begged others to write it next to the beautiful Kiko. Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There is nothing, so there is no dust. With this poem, we can see that Huineng is a man of great wisdom (later, some people said that he was reincarnated as the tenth monk), and his poem accords with the idea of Zen epiphany. It is an attitude of being born, which mainly means that the world is empty and everything in the world is an empty word. If the heart is empty, there is no need to resist the temptation from the outside world. Everything passes by the heart without leaving a trace. This is a very high realm of Zen, and those who appreciate this realm are called enlightenment. When Hongren saw the book, he asked the people around him who wrote it. The people on the side said that it was written by Huineng, so it was called Huineng. In front of him and other monks, they said that it was a mess and nonsense, and they also erased the auspicious words themselves. Then he hit Huineng on the head three times and left. At this time, only Huineng understood the meaning of the Five Ancestors, so he came to Hongren's meditation room in the middle of the night, where Hongren explained to him one of the most important Buddhist classics, the Diamond Sutra, and handed it to him. Then, in order to prevent the honey trap from hurting Huineng, Huineng was allowed to escape overnight. So Huineng went south overnight, lived in seclusion 10, and founded Zen Nanzong in Shaolin Temple in Putian. The next day, when Shen Xiu learned about it, he sent someone to chase Huineng, but he didn't catch up. Later, Shen Xiu became the protector of the Liang Dynasty and founded the Northern Sect of Zen. Life is like an ocean, only a strong-willed person can reach the other side. Let's make our dreams come true ~
Make the world full of love, work harder and change a little.
What is the significance of social practice? Maybe many people are asking themselves this question in their hearts. Many people think it's a formality, a formality. They once read such an article. The author said in a child's voice, we don't need you to teach, brothers and sisters. The reason is well-founded, because they simply express their condolences or go through the motions. Indeed, this phenomenon exists in society. But as Mr. Liu said, college students' social practice should really do something for the local people, serve the local people with their enthusiasm and knowledge, and do some small things that can touch others and themselves with social practice, which will be valuable spiritual wealth in life.
This is the sixth time that Jiu Feng Practice Team has set foot on this land. Admittedly, we won't stay here for long. In this short time, we are thinking about what we should bring to these children with our enthusiasm and knowledge, even if it is a little change. The students of Pinghe Huangtian Primary School have a simplicity from mountainous areas. They will deliberately make a loud noise to attract our attention, and they will be shy when answering questions in class. In this place that we think is "isolated from the world", some of them still perform so well with limited learning resources. In math class, they use their rapidly rotating brains to answer questions quickly. In art class, they also draw imaginative pictures with their creative hands. On physical education class, we can see how happy they are. I will think in my heart that education is still so unfair. Even if there are some relatively fair examination and selection systems, the educational resources given to them by society are really too few. In order to succeed, they must work twice as hard as ordinary children.
Last year, the Jiu Feng Practice Team, in which seniors and seniors participated, focused on poor children and gave them one-on-one help. This year, we will visit the families of left-behind children in primary schools, hoping to attract more people to pay attention to left-behind children in rural areas with us. Perhaps our little efforts are a drop in the bucket for the present situation, but we firmly believe that we will work harder, change a little, interpret our beliefs with our own actions and make the world full of love.
