Why do kindergartens need small papers on local resources?
"Kindergarten Plan" requires us to comprehensively develop and utilize rich educational resources, create good conditions and promote children's all-round development. Excavating and utilizing localized educational resources and letting children "have a close dialogue with resources" is a major measure to implement "inquiry learning" in our park. These resources have become living teaching materials for children's life and study in our garden, which has promoted their all-round development. Our garden is located in the mountainous area of western Fujian, and its economy is relatively backward. Compared with developed areas, the foundation of science and technology development and utilization is poor, and the materials that can be directly provided to children are limited. However, we find that mountainous areas also have unique conditions and inexhaustible vast natural resources, and we deeply appreciate the value of rich and colorful educational resources contained in nature. But how to turn the local resources of these hometowns into resources suitable for children to learn and explore? How to organically integrate local resources and promote children's development? Under the guidance of the spirit of the outline, as kindergarten teachers, we should base ourselves on Sanming, adjust measures to local conditions, make full use of local resources, organically integrate local resources, creatively carry out a series of exploration activities, form a curriculum system with local characteristics, cultivate children's local awareness, let children fully feel the changes and development of their hometown, sprout children's feelings of loving their hometown, and stimulate children's strong interest in learning.

First, use the local culture of hometown to enrich the content of educational activities.

Children's life is rooted in the cultural soil in which they live, and daily life is the emergence of culture. Every culture has its own value and connotation, and it is a rare educational resource. Obtaining educational resources in the local characteristic culture that children are familiar with is conducive to expanding children's experience and vision, and is conducive to children's active construction of new experiences in the autonomous state. However, the content of our teaching activities has been limited to the selection of teaching materials in the province, which leads to children's lack of local feelings. As a result, some local resources that children are most familiar with and most likely interested in have not been fully utilized, and the educational concept of "being close to children's lives" advocated in the outline can not be well practiced. Therefore, we make full use of the educational resources with educational value hidden in Sanming's magical landscapes, rich specialties, delicious snacks and other local resources, carefully choose and design the theme education activity "Lovely Hometown" according to the age characteristics of children, and build a theme network from clues such as places of interest, hometown specialties and special snacks.

1. Carry out teaching activities in combination with hometown tourist attractions.

Sanming has beautiful mountains and rivers, unique scenery and rich tourism resources. The main scenic spots are Taining Jinhu, Yong 'an Taoyuan Cave and Sanming Castanopsis kawakamii Nature Reserve, among which Taining Geopark is a world geopark, and Taining Jinhu, Yong 'an Shilin-Taoyuan Cave and Jiangle Yuhua Cave are national scenic spots. In view of the above understanding, according to the actual situation of the garden, after following the spirit of letting children experience the inquiry process and determining the educational objectives, we used these advantages to carry out the sub-project of "Hometown Attractions": First, we mobilized parents to take their children to the surrounding tourist attractions during the golden weeks such as weekends, May Day and National Day. Then arrange the tourist attractions in my hometown in the class, and paste the pictures and photos collected by the children on the wall of the activity room, and paste the names and cards of the attractions. Then invite some children who have traveled as "tour guides" to introduce the spectacular buildings, some allusions and legends of various scenic spots, and I will ask questions or make supplements as a "tourist". Or organize children to learn about Sanming's places of interest by watching VCD, guide them to discover what the Stone Story is, and tell them the moving stories of each stone scene, so that children can appreciate the natural scenery and marvel at the wonders of nature. And provide plastic products, building blocks or waste materials in the activities of the art district, carry out structural games, guide children to build famous scenic spots and magnificent buildings in their hometown, and draw historical sites in their hometown.

2. Carry out teaching activities in combination with the characteristics of many famous specialties in my hometown.

The people in my hometown are hardworking and brave. The land in my hometown is fertile and rich in products. The people in my hometown have created many special products and famous products with their wisdom and hands. Such as: lotus seeds in Jianning, kiwi fruit, dried mice in Ninghua, dried meat in Mingxi, dried salted duck in Shaxian, etc. With the convenient development of transportation, more and more hometown specialties flow to the society and become household names. In order to let children know the specialties of their hometown, know the specialties made by the people in their hometown, and close the distance with the working people, we specially designed a sub-topic-"Native products of their hometown". We mobilize parents to collect the local products in their hometown, introduce the VCD of local products, observe and understand the production process and eating characteristics of local products, and make handicrafts so that children can have a more comprehensive understanding of local products.

3. Understand the food culture and stimulate active inquiry.

Sanming is a new immigrant city. From east to west and from north to south, its food enjoys a high reputation. Such as: Shaxian mixed noodles, wonton, Xiamao taro buns, Ninghua steamed dumplings, sashimi, Yongan fruit strips, jiaozi and so on. In order to fully display Sanming's unique "gourmet culture", we start with its origin, production materials, technology and other clues. For example, the subtitle "delicious snacks" was introduced. This activity was designed according to the local special food and the favorable educational resources in the community environment. At the beginning of the activity, the children showed great interest. Activities are not only close to children's life, but also expand children's living and learning space, which embodies that life is education and conforms to children's age characteristics. Before operating the exploration activities, I arranged the tasks and business environment for them, so that parents could take their children to the "Yuanjia Snacks" and "Yong 'an Snacks" in the community to learn about the local snacks, and set up theme exhibition areas such as the work area and the exhibition of local snacks, so as to give full play to the children's main role, let them actively participate in the collection of snacks, and let the children have a kind of familiar emotion on this theme. During the activity, children can try, explore and experience various senses through talking, operating and communicating, and know the types, characteristics and making methods of snacks. In the process of children's exploration, we should be their collaborators, supporters and guides, and let them fully feel the fun of activities with a cordial, enthusiastic and friendly attitude. These food cultures not only expanded the content of the theme, but also integrated various disciplines, which stimulated children's active exploration and promoted their development.

Second, the use of local natural resources to expand educational content

Let education return to real life and children return to the natural environment, which is a new concept in the outline. Nature is a true and rich encyclopedia, which contains great educational wealth and provides a natural place for children to gain perceptual knowledge of the world. Using natural resources to create a good educational environment has a good positive effect on children's growth. It not only cultivates children's spontaneous spirit of exploration, initial consciousness of innovation and practical ability, but also enhances self-awareness, cultivates children's sentiment of loving nature, and germinates children's feelings of loving their hometown and motherland.
