1. Create an environment with eco-environmental characteristics for eco-environmental education? My garden is located in Caohu Industrial Park in Xiangcheng District, with green water and green hills, beautiful environment and fresh air. Combined with the surrounding environment, our garden has created an environment with the characteristics of "ecological environment protection", and the whole kindergarten embodies the concept of "green ecology". The kindergarten environment design with the theme of "green forest" combined with light green main color shows great vitality. The layout of the kindergarten's internal environment reflects the utilization of waste materials. The corridor on the first floor is mainly composed of straw hats, fans and sushi curtains, decorated with collected moon cake boxes and paper plates. The second floor, with the theme of "Underwater World", is decorated with materials such as crab shells, tortoise shells and conch shells, so that children can receive a beautiful and harmonious ecological environment education in a subtle way.
In order to let children really experience what should be done to the ecological environment, it is a very good way to create waste recycling bins in kindergartens. For example, each of our classes has set up a "little environmental guardian" waste recycling station. According to the needs of educational theme activities, teachers ask children to collect some safe and hygienic household garbage and put it in the recycling bin. Some of these "waste items" have become raw materials for our fun homemade sports equipment, and some have become daily necessities for our dolls. We sort out the waste materials collected by each class and list them in the art room. There are reed stalks, bottle caps, milk tea cups, instant noodle boxes, branches and so on. Children can make use of these raw materials when performing art activities in the art room. They gradually developed a sense of environmental protection, had a deep affection for these raw materials, and were willing and active in these activities. We conducted a small experiment with the waste bottles and cans collected by children. One experiment is to let the children learn to scoop the water from the basin into a bottle with a small bottleneck. After the teacher's patient guidance, the children found that when choosing a funnel, the outlet of the funnel should be smaller than the bottle mouth, or the same size, in order to succeed. Therefore, the reuse of waste materials not only cultivates children's awareness of saving, but also cultivates children's ability to think from multiple angles. And tell the children about the impact of littering on the environment. After being thrown away casually, waste batteries will cause damage to soil and water, and after being recycled, they can become useful resources again. Through these actions, children gradually realize the importance of environmental protection. Waste reuse and conservation awareness are important contents of environmental protection.
Second, use natural and local unique educational resources to educate children about the ecological environment? Mr. Chen Heqin, an educator in China, pointed out: "Children's education should take nature and society as the starting point, so that students can learn directly from nature and society." Nature is a living book that can't be read, and a wonderful picture scroll that can't be read enough is the best classroom for children to grow up. Walking into nature can let children walk into life and discover and know the world with their own eyes. Through on-the-spot observation, let children experience the relationship between human existence and the environment, feel the difference between a good environment and a deteriorating environment, and understand the causes of environmental pollution and destruction, so as to stimulate children's awareness of caring for the environment from an early age.
We use the unique local educational resources to take children into nature. First, I took my children to observe the small river in Caohu Garden, and found that the river was black and smelly, and domestic garbage such as plastic bags and shells floated on the river. Then take the children to feel the natural beauty of Caohu Wetland Park and Suzhou Botanical Garden. Through observation, comparison and collection, we can perceive the diversity of life, discover the changes of life, understand the relationship between the growth of animals and plants and the environment, and stimulate children's feelings of protecting the ecological environment. Then, through the activity of "Little Guardian of Environmental Protection"-"You Throw Me and Pick Me Up", let the children do it themselves, experience the value of environmental protection through actions in Caohu Garden, and realize that "environmental protection should start from me and start from the little things around us".
Third, use a normal day's activities to educate the ecological environment? Kindergarten activities are colorful, including teaching activities, games, labor and life activities, in which we consciously carry out environmental education. For example, let children learn poems and stories, carry out conversation activities, and initially understand the influence of the environment on people. Use the link of children's hand washing to carry out water-saving education. First, teach children how to wash their hands correctly and save water, cultivate the habit of tightening the faucet after using water, and then hold a "What if there is no water?" Let children know that people, animals and plants can't survive without water on the earth, and educate them to cultivate good habits of saving water from an early age. Use the time of walking to consciously guide them to observe trees, grass and flowers, feel the beautiful scenery, have an emotional tendency to the beautiful environment, and educate children to care for the surrounding plants and trees. We also ask children to collect the remaining waste paper such as paintings, origami and paper cutting, because they can be recycled, which not only saves energy, but also reduces pollution. When eating, educate children not to be picky about food, not to drop rice grains, and cherish the fruits of farmers' uncles' labor, thus establishing children's ecological morality of caring for natural resources.
"Game" is the privilege of children. In the game, children are more receptive and can master environmental protection knowledge in playing, speaking and doing. For example, in the structural game, collect all kinds of cartons, yogurt cups, toothpaste boxes and so on to build. Children know the impact of waste on the environment. We collect rubbish, and every rubbish will become a useful toy in our hands. These items come in different shapes and sizes, leaving a lot of imagination for children. In the game, children will build various houses with milk boxes and decorate railings with yogurt cups ... advertising paper, straws and so on. They are all necessary materials for our teachers to make auxiliary supplies.
In short, children pay more and more attention to the life around them, find beautiful things emotionally, and learn to appreciate and care. Continue to tap the value of natural ecological education and promote the all-round and harmonious development of children's body and mind.
