Cultivating Mulberry Seedlings —— Let Labor Education Take Root and Sprout
The Ministry of Education's "Guiding Outline of Labor Education in Primary and Secondary Schools" emphasizes that primary school students' labor education should lay a solid foundation in terms of labor concept, labor ability and labor quality, guide students to use traditional labor tools, experience the hardships and wisdom of working people, and pay attention to stimulating students' initiative, enthusiasm and creativity in participating in labor. When the school implements the outline, class labor education is an important focus. Relying on the implementation of the school sericulture labor education curriculum, families and classes cooperated to carry out a labor education practice of reclaiming mulberry fields and planting mulberry trees. According to the requirements of the school's "Mulberry Planting Activity Plan", the class teacher issued a notice of mulberry picking and mulberry planting knowledge on the official account of WeChat. Parents and children study and visit together, and escort mulberry seedlings and mulberry trees to the school farming experience park for planting. Students and parents jointly pick up hoes and shovels to dig holes, plant mulberry seedlings, backfill and tamp them before watering them. Students talk about the shape characteristics and planting techniques of mulberry while working. Some parents guide their children to use hoes, shovels, scissors and other farm tools correctly; Some children specialize in land leveling technology, reminding their companions to clean up the debris in the pit, and then dig deep for about 30 cm before planting mulberry seedlings; There are also more professional parents who teach their children to identify different varieties such as grass mulberry and fruit mulberry. A parent moved an old mulberry tree from the deep mountain of Wulong, and was immediately surrounded by the teachers and students present. He took out pruning shears and skillfully trimmed them, and then taught the children to wrap the trimmed branches with plastic wrap. He told the children that this is to make the transplanted mulberry slow down the evaporation of water, carry out photosynthesis better, and make its branches grow new buds faster. Children learn with relish, and the more they learn, the more energetic they become. They not only learned how to use farm tools and keep fit in their work, but also gained a lot of knowledge that books can't learn.

Although the short-term mulberry planting activity is over, the children have established deep feelings with the mulberry seedlings they planted, and they are very concerned about the survival of mulberry trees. Therefore, the class teacher set up a study group, and the team leader led the team members to carry out mulberry protection work for half a month. By observing, collecting data and recording problems, we can protect the survival of mulberry trees. In the first week, students record the days of rain, whether the soil is wet and whether there are buds on the trunk. A group found that weeds would affect the growth of mulberry trees by consulting information, so they spontaneously organized a weeding action; Another group found that the soil of a mulberry tree was very fragile after being washed by rain, so they donated a fertile soil at the weekend. In the second week, almost all the mulberry trees survived and germinated, and the upward trend began to sprout small leaves. Children are encouraged to continue to take the initiative to pay attention to how their beloved mulberry trees grow. In the third week, a child found a pile of sawdust beside the roots of mulberry trees. According to the data, it turned out that the roots had moths. The children carefully observed and found the wormhole and actively looked for ways to get rid of it. The teacher soaked cotton with insecticide and stuffed it into the wormhole, but the effect was not good. There are more and more wormholes, and a lot of fresh sawdust falls down every day. When the students were at a loss, they got help from their parents and treated the pests with professional drugs. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, the growth of mulberry has also experienced various twists and turns. In the process of maintaining mulberry trees, children's labor autonomy has been greatly exercised.

Evaluation of labor education is an important way to deepen students' labor effectiveness. The class communicates with each other through the afternoon meeting, displays the data and findings recorded during mulberry planting, and makes collective evaluation; Use the class meeting to carry out the tabloid design exhibition with the theme of "the growth of mulberry seedlings", and use the tabloid as the carrier to describe the happiness of children and parents participating in labor together for collective exchange and display; Use the exercise class to write a diary of mulberry observation, record the small changes of mulberry growth and the children's hard work, read your own exercise manuscript to teachers and classmates' parents, and make corrections after getting feedback. The follow-up of the above evaluation means is a respect for the labor process, so that children can rethink the cultivation and protection of mulberry, fully experience the value and sense of gain of labor, and refine and deepen the labor effect.

This class labor education practice activity is the beginning of the implementation of sericulture labor education curriculum in the school. Students and parents are enthusiastic about participating, but there are also some problems, such as insufficient working time, weak working skills and relative lack of sericulture knowledge, which need to be further improved. With the deepening of the implementation of the sericulture labor course, I believe that students will be able to experience the ups and downs in labor, know the world, find themselves, and grow into useful talents for building the motherland, just like thriving mulberry seedlings.
