How to educate students about gratitude?
Gratitude is a fine traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. We believe that gratitude is a kind of cognition, emotion and behavior that recognizes the goodwill and convenience of others, society and nature and wants to give back. Today, when the material life has reached a higher level, students have a weak sense of gratitude, do not know how to be grateful, and often refuse to be grateful, which directly affects the quality of education and teaching. Therefore, gratitude education has become the most urgent task of current school moral education. The author thinks that schools, especially primary schools, should strengthen gratitude education while strengthening moral education. So, in the specific educational practice? First, the campus environment, the gratitude atmosphere environment has a great influence on a person. The school always regards creating a good educational atmosphere as an important educational resource and way, emphasizing that students are edified and inspired in the process of jointly creating this cultural atmosphere, thus providing a good environment. In order to create a good educational atmosphere, from the layout of the campus, from the slogans and pictures of the teaching building to the display boards posted in the publicity window, all are carefully designed around the theme of "gratitude", so that "every corner of the campus tells the topic of gratitude"; Through the blackboard newspaper and classroom arrangement competition in the class, "let every class in the school be full of gratitude"; Encourage students to design a series of activities such as "Thanksgiving Painting, Thanksgiving Card, Thanksgiving Poetry, Thanksgiving Newspaper", so that every activity in the school is full of gratitude and vitality. Second, the teaching of various subjects and the infiltration of gratitude education classrooms are the main battlefields for our teachers to educate students. Teachers can fully tap the factors of gratitude education in various subjects and consciously infiltrate gratitude education in classroom teaching. For example, in Chinese teaching, students should be guided to think deeply about the text that expresses the meaning of things, deeply understand the meaning of things in thinking, and experience the depth and breadth of kindness. For example, there is only one earth, so students should be guided to understand the significance of the earth to human beings and realize that the earth is irreplaceable for human beings. Music class can teach singing "Only Mom is Good", "Mom's Kiss", "Mom and Dad" and "Grateful Heart", so that grateful songs can ring in students' hearts and warm children's hearts. Mathematics class can organize students to carry out family education questionnaire survey and make statistical analysis by mathematical methods; Comprehensive practice class can organize students to make "love cards" for parents, teachers and so on. So in this way, we first create a harmonious environment for gratitude education, which can make the mutual penetration between discipline and moral education more effective. Third, class meeting activities, highlighting the theme of gratitude class meeting activities is an educational form of independent activities of teachers and students in the class, and it is also an important position for students to carry out self-ideological and moral education, enhance understanding and friendship between classmates, carry forward personality quality and stimulate innovative thinking. In order to cultivate students' ability, encourage students to learn to communicate, learn to be a man, and form good habits and character. You can carry out activities of "gratitude in your heart and gratitude in your behavior". The class meeting closely revolves around "gratitude", from thanking parents to thanking teachers, friends and all those who give us help and care. Students share their feelings in the process of growing up, prove their gratitude behavior with their own practical actions, write a grateful letter, make a grateful greeting card, do a grateful reading activity, and thank classmates, parents, teachers, life and society with practical actions. The whole activity is rich and colorful, and students' true feelings are surging, which further sublimates their understanding that gratitude is a sense of responsibility and a pursuit of spiritual realm. Fourth, special festivals, organizing gratitude activities With the acceleration of the pace of modern life, many festivals that were not emphasized in the past have gradually become more important after media publicity. In fact, the tradition of China people makes us more restrained when expressing our feelings, and seldom talk about loving our parents. Then, the festival is actually a good opportunity. For example, Women's Day on March 8th and Mother's Day can let students express their love for their mothers in their favorite way. The Double Ninth Festival organizes students to carry out some activities to respect and love the elderly. Teachers' Day allows students to carry out activities to thank their teachers. You can also use the birthdays of teachers, peers and parents to guide students to make some birthday cards for teachers and peers to express their gratitude. As a class teacher, when these festivals come, I will publicize and remind the students through the channel of class diary, or during the afternoon class at school. In this way, students can make full use of festivals and express their gratitude to their parents. V. Contact between home and school to realize gratitude education Many children in mountain schools need our care and love, and more often, they need us to guide their emotions. Therefore, as parents, we should not only give our children love, role models and opportunities, but also learn to cherish, appreciate and affirm the way their children express love and gratitude, so that our children will not only have a sense of love, but also have those grateful behaviors. They should also participate in students' moral education, and teachers should take advantage of home visits or parents' coming to school to discuss good strategies for moral education with parents. For example, make a thank-you card, wash parents' feet once, follow their parents' work all day, care about the small mailbox, give their parents a surprise, celebrate their birthdays, make small gifts by hand, say "I love you" to their parents, and so on, so that children can enjoy the joy of loving and being loved in the experience and gratitude. Educate students to be grateful, learn to be grateful, love their parents, teachers, peers and people around them, and even develop to love nature and the motherland. 6. Go to the society and experience gratitude. Today's students are the main force in the future society. Therefore, to let them know as much as possible about the adult world and lead them to experience it in social practice as much as possible, the children in our mountain campus can give them gratitude homework and let them go back to the village for activities. For example, "send a thank-you letter to those who have helped you around", "set up a small green guardian to give the village a harmonious environment" and "send warmth and care to the lonely old people" … guide students into society, get in touch with workers from all walks of life, and understand their significance and value in social life. Enhance students' sense of social responsibility and know how to care for and repay society. Gratitude is a fine tradition of human beings and a beacon in children's hearts. Thanksgiving education requires teachers to select students through appropriate methods, cultivate students' gratitude consciousness, let them know how to repay their gratitude, and never forget the kindness of their parents, teachers and society. And through a series of gratitude education activities, let students understand the truth that "only gratitude can nourish life".
