Today I'm going to talk to you about two of the last little things.
During the Christmas holidays, Mr. S and I both fell ill, so the sisters and brothers were basically in a state of full free range. No one cared about it, and the two of them had a lot of time to love what to do.
I remember that after untying the gifts on Christmas morning, my sister ran over with an A4 piece of paper and said to us excitedly: I wrote a story about Christmas, and I also had an illustration, do you want to listen?
After I listened to her and read her original story with emotion, I was really surprised, she wrote not at all what I imagined as "flowing account composition", nor any "routine story" that I could guess the end after listening to the beginning, the whole story was very novel, attracting me to seriously hear from the beginning to the end (but this word is really a little bumpy).
I recounted the contents of the story in Chinese.
Once upon a time there was a Christmas tree whose name was Penny.
Penny was scared because it was almost Christmas.
You may wonder why Penny is afraid of Christmas?
Because if there is no Christmas tree, how can everyone spend Christmas? Penny feared she would be cut down and taken home.
At this time, a family came to find the Christmas tree, and If Penny wanted to escape the disaster, she had to do something quickly!
So Penny gathered some material from the surroundings, just in case.
Later she noticed some wrapping paper not far away, and she tried to move herself to reach the wrapping paper, but she was stuck on the ground and couldn't move!
Penny kept stretching her body, again and again, and finally she finally reached the wrapping paper!
She wrapped herself in wrapping paper, hoping not to be seen by the family.
Watching the family walk toward her, at first they thought it was just a pile of paper, but it wasn't long before they discovered it was a tree.
They ripped off the wrappers on the tree, cut it down, and brought it home.
Penny didn't like to be in the house, and she knew she had to act right away to save herself.
Then she remembered the materials she had collected in the wild, which were still in bags.
Penny found some dirt from inside, and she poured it on herself.
When the family saw Penny, they thought the tree was too dirty and sent Penny back.
Overall, I think this story is still very exciting, a few comments.
1. The storyline is complete. Questions are used at the beginning to lead to the topic, the development in the middle is twisty and turning, and the ending is unexpected.
2, the story logic and details are generally reasonable, of course, some places can also be deliberated, such as there is dirt in the wild is very right, there is wrapping paper seems to be a bit far-fetched? However, it is not bad to be able to do the plot ups and downs.
3, the ambush pen is very good. As mentioned earlier, Penny collected some things in the wild, but did not say what it was, and did not mention it later, I thought it was a random stroke, but I did not expect that the protagonist finally escaped by relying on this!
4, the language is infectious, so that people can't help but follow the protagonist's mood ups and downs.
In fact, usually my sister will bring back some small compositions in the classroom from school, which are basically simple opinion statements or narratives, and they are written according to the template given by the teacher, so I usually look at it and put it aside.
Reading her original story this time will inevitably be a bit of a surprise.
Let's talk about my brother.
Last weekend it was quite cold, we didn't go out, and the kids were at home having fun on their own. I saw my brother take some cardboard, blue tape and scissors, and cut the clips where he was, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Because he was right in the middle of the road, I drove him aside with great disgust. It didn't take long for the meal to be served, and I asked him to quickly pack up the stall and come over to eat, and although he was very unhappy, he carefully put everything together.
In the afternoon, he ran to me with a proud face and said: Mom, look at what I have done!
And then I saw this, a shield and a sword, and it looked pretty decent.
The back of the shield is also very thoughtfully designed.
It turned out that he was busy working on this for half a day, and I asked him if he had seen a video on YouTube and learned to do it? He said no, he saw cardboard and wanted to make a shield himself.
I was still wasting tape, and I almost stopped it, it seems that the children's desire to create is really easy for us to kill in the cradle.
Maybe you have to ask, after talking so much, why haven't you buckled the subject! What is the thing that most nourishes children's creativity?
It's a time of doing nothing.
The sister's little story was written when she was bored during the Christmas holidays, and the younger brother's little crafts were also made during the weekend when he was idle.
This reminds me of a saying that used to hang on my lips: children need a lot of time to "play freely" and "at their disposal", and do what they want to do according to their own hearts and preferences.
I think that for lower grade children like the sisters and brothers, this kind of time should be more time than the time spent back home from school and the weekends to write homework, read, and practice interest classes.
So really don't arrange the child's time to be full, so that you are tired, the child is tired, and the things that nourish the child's creativity are also deprived, and the gains are not worth the loss.
After talking about the children, let's talk about ourselves.
To say that my creativity in addition to playing, the rest of the estimates are used in wear, and later articles may share some #OOTD (outfit of the day) from time to time.
A while ago I found a discounted knitted vest on the Saks off 5th website, and I felt particularly satisfied after getting it, fashionable and warm, even if it was just a little bit exposed, it was very colorful, right? The weather of zero degrees Celsius a few days ago (no snow), it is not cold at all when wearing out, and fashionable girls can consider a small vest in winter
But it snowed heavily here these two days, so big that it was difficult to get up after falling in the snow, so everyone had to obediently put on their down jackets and go out.
It's New Year's In 2 weeks, is it snowing there? Is there an atmosphere of the New Year?
