First, tap the local characteristics and enrich the course content.
Yongchun County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province is rich in local resources and local culture, which provides conditions for the implementation of kindergarten theme activities research. Yongchun lacquer basket is a traditional bamboo lacquer handicraft of Han nationality in Fujian. The raw material is bamboo. Bamboo can be sliced or cut into thin strips, which can be used as handles and woven into baskets with thin strips, and is favored by consumers. In the activity, we let the children perceive the external characteristics of bamboo and baskets by looking, touching, peeling and weaving. The teacher also showed various handicrafts to help children observe and understand their internal characteristics, such as flat baskets, plaid baskets, baskets, boxes, plates, bamboo poles, bamboo baskets, bamboo plaques and chopsticks. You can also introduce information and pictures about bamboo and bamboo shoots so that everyone can enjoy a rich experience. At the same time, teaching will be integrated into the natural society classroom, and children will be taken to see bamboo forests, dig bamboo shoots, take photos, cook bamboo shoots, and make various regional activities materials with bamboo. At the same time, it also guides children to discover the growth law of plants, understand the relationship between natural environment and human life, and trigger children to explore nature and experience the fun of discovery. The development and application of these curriculum resources not only enrich the teaching content, but also make our teaching full of vitality. In the theme activity of "Beautiful Hometown", we invited knitting artists to the kindergarten to give knitting demonstrations and teach children simple knitting. Through the on-site demonstration teaching of knitting artists, we can integrate and refine children's existing experience, develop children's practical ability and carry forward excellent traditional culture.
In the theme activity of "Hometown Special Snacks", we organized children to learn how to make various local snacks. If you wrap spring rolls, ask the teacher to show the making process of spring rolls first. Spring rolls are made by kneading white flour with a little water and salt, spreading it into a round skin in a pot, and spreading the prepared stuffing (minced meat, bean paste, vegetables, sugar, etc.). ) put it on the skin, fold both ends in half and roll it into a roll. The children were both novel and excited. After that, let the children try to make spring rolls, let them taste them, let the children feel the food culture in their hometown, and cultivate their feelings of loving their hometown.
Second, tap local game materials to stimulate children's enthusiasm.
Suhomlinski once said: "If students have no interest and desire, then all our ideas and plans will be reduced to ashes." How to stimulate children's interest in games? In the choice of game materials, we should not only consider its safety and practicality, but also pay attention to children's interests. For example, our garden makes full use of Xiushan ancient residential village resources in Yongchun County, deeply excavates localized regional activities, makes full use of community resources, and creates a farmhouse theme area with local characteristics. The laundry garden, small sand pool, peasant kitchen, living room and bedroom with rich peasant characteristics are integrated with regional materials such as children's self-care ability, handicrafts, puzzles and architecture, so that children can bathe in local culture in the interaction with environmental materials and develop independently and happily in the relaxed and free activity area. In addition, with the legend of Yongchun bergamot tea as the main content, a picture book story "bergamot tea" suitable for children was created. By reading and watching courseware, let children know the origin and tea-making process of Yongchun bergamot tea. On the basis of this understanding, it is integrated into performance games, so that children can perform in Minnan language, directly perceive and actually operate, and experience the charm of picture books.
Third, pay attention to the accumulation and innovation of course content.
In the folklore course, we pay attention to the accumulation of materials, and record the presupposition, objectives and environment creation of each theme activity one by one, and accumulate them as first-hand information for future activities. Therefore, we especially support and encourage teachers to innovate on the basis of the original curriculum resources according to the development characteristics of children in this class, so as to enrich its content, expand educational channels and diversify the forms of grade 9.
Traditional forms of education are often limited to classroom teaching. The infiltration of local culture requires children to feel the history and culture of their hometown and experience the local customs. This requires us not to confine education to the classroom, but to expand educational channels. For example, in the form of parent-child activities, parents are invited to take their children to visit Yongchun paper-woven paintings to learn about the production process and artistic value of paper-woven paintings. During the activity, the teacher's clever question design stimulated the children's active thinking and gained rich perceptual knowledge through personal experience. In addition to moving the class out of school and into the community, we also invited artists into the kindergarten to teach the children to weave pictures, weave baskets and sing songs in Minnan ... Seeing groups of little guys weaving baskets around the grandfather and singing songs in Minnan, the teachers felt more carefree and comfortable. We know that only by expanding educational channels and letting children gain perceptual knowledge and emotional experience can we pass on local culture to children.
Therefore, let local cultural resources be integrated into children's daily life, broaden children's horizons, enrich children's experience, make up for the shortage of kindergarten education resources, expand the content of kindergarten curriculum, and let children care about society, understand their hometown and pay attention to their development. In the process of understanding social life, they will naturally and easily integrate into society, from which they will experience a feeling of being accepted and valued by society and form a beautiful feeling for their hometown.
