More than 1300 shapes, 12 colors... The endless variety of shape buildings and the diversified expansion of creative gameplay give simple building blocks a different kind of appeal. Just by stitching together two lifeless bricks, you can open up a three-dimensional world full of infinite possibilities.
1 Lego, a systematic carrier of education
Through LEGO, children learn to measure, compare, classify, explore and apply, and acquire, deepen and apply new knowledge and skills by building creative works through structural association, imitation and self-reliance.
Lego curriculum, one of the STEAM education projects in our kindergarten, follows the children's interest points, takes the interesting picture book story and situation simulation as a bridge, gives the initiative of learning to the children, and integrates the guidance of creative thinking into the process of gamification construction to stimulate the children's enthusiasm for inquiry.
The "4Cs" system, the basic theoretical framework of LEGO education, is connect, construct, contemplate and continue.
When theoretical systems are closely linked to educational practice, new classroom contexts emerge.
Contact: By playing audio-visual materials, asking questions, and guiding children to make associations;
Construction: Let children choose their own parts and build their own creative works;
Reflection: Prompt and guide children to decorate and process the works;
Continuation: Ask your child to explain the area they have built and the function of the internal facilities.
02 Breathing natural enlightenment education
Mathematical enlightenment, silent penetration. Through the classification of building blocks and the operation of the diagram, children know the color, shape, number, and find the corresponding number of building blocks by counting the number of points that have been built. In addition, LEGO Enlightenment also lays the foundation for the study of number axes, addition and subtraction, measurement, and comparison.
Creativity, silently inspired. A single block is not special, and the most special thing about it is that it creates an open and inspiring system. Whether it's making a spinning flying chair or a stretch car, consider how to add variables such as "speed, time" to the scratch to control their walking path. Children continue to propose, think and solve problems in the process of exploration, so that they can have the ability to think in all aspects and learn from each other.
Concentration, silent test. When increasing the frequency of movement of the hands, the nerve cells on the fingers transmit information to the brain at any time, just as building Lego is one of the important ways to develop the potential functions of the brain of preschoolers. Whether it is the splicing of large and small particles, or the connection of pins and beams, it puts forward higher requirements for patience, observation and concentration.
The ability to resist setbacks, silent cultivation. Children's lego building process is not always smooth, and the whole learning is accompanied by occasional setbacks and frustrations. After the guidance of the teacher, the child overcomes the difficulties step by step, and the strong will and lasting self-confidence are formed imperceptibly.
Logical thinking, silent exercise. In the process of building, the teacher will teach the children to first learn to analyze the structure of the work, clarify the various components and working principles, and the children will gradually master the construction methods and skills, and learn the structure and machinery-related knowledge.
03 Through creativity, see the shining point
The building themes in our final presentation will be more open and will apply all the building skills learned throughout the semester. In order to let the children better play their creativity, the teacher provided a lot of parts and gave the children more time to complete the construction of the work.
In the past, when the LEGO final report was reported, the large group would set up a group division of labor. In this year's curriculum report, children of all ages no longer build independently, but work together in groups at a table. The process of learning interaction between children helps to strengthen children's observation and analysis, communication skills, and sense of teamwork.
When building hands-on building, these children who are active during lectures become serious, dedicated engineers in an instant. Small blocks are quickly reorganized and renewed under the child's skillful hands.
Lego building is not just about putting one block on top of another. The works of children can reflect their inner world to a certain extent.
As a park builder and amusement park builder, what do you build? Animals and plants, amusement facilities, characters, buildings and other elements have built a rich park, amusement park scene, and transportation mobilization.
In the construction process, the children learned the principle of levers, the stability of triangles, learned to build interlocks, stairs, car bodies, humanoid structures and plug devices, and also consolidated the building of composite structures by making wheels and small trains.
As soon as they saw their friends and teachers watching, the children began to introduce their own works, without hiding their pride and joy.
Write at the end
The children have the courage to explore, and in the building and learning of works on different themes, the desire to explore has been greatly satisfied, and they are familiar with lego parts and materials and names.
The children grow up quickly, the fingertips are flexible, and the use of hand strength is fully exercised, and they can better transform ideas into expressive works.
Each child is a unique individual, and no matter how simple the work, it is also the expression of their creativity and heart. We never skimp on every compliment, and we also give each child the opportunity to show themselves, let's play together in the new semester lego classroom.
