February 10, 2022 Thursday of the first month of the lunar calendar Sunny
"Happy New Year and welcome home!" Early in the morning, my two partners and I waited at the entrance of the kindergarten, hugged each teacher warmly, and opened our collective training before the start of winter vacation.
On the first day of the gathering, the main purpose is to collect hearts and read books. After a warm New Year's eve interaction, we watched the documentary film "Little People's Country", which recorded the life of a group of 2- to 6-year-old children in Beijing's Li Yue'erba Academy. Choosing this movie to watch together, my idea is to trigger teachers to think through the film, how to stick to the original intention, how to establish a correct view of children. At the end of the movie, in the children's picture book museum, the teachers sat together in pairs and began to share their reading experience and movie viewing feelings during the holiday.
Before the winter vacation begins, each teacher chooses a professional book as a reading list for the holiday. Teacher Min Min read Li Yue'er's book "Who Took the Happiness of children", she said: There is no teacher who does not love children, there is no parent who does not love children, but children are not a pet or plant, we are not the dominators of children, and to dominate children at will is to regard themselves as the god of children, and giving children the love of God is a self-righteous behavior of adults, not what children really need. As a teacher, there must be culture and wisdom in the element of love.
Ms. Jia Hui read a book about autonomous play, and she realized that waiting is a strategy. When observing children's games and finding problems, teachers should not rush to "intervene" in children's games from an adult's point of view, interrupt the game process, should first observe, then guide, wait for the appropriate time to intervene, and wait patiently for the smooth progress of children's games.
Teacher Xiaohui shared the case in "How to Say That Children Will Listen, How to Listen to Children Will Say", and reflected on: When children are sad, we say, "It seems like you are sad." "It would be very helpful for the kids. Children are more likely to communicate with an adult who accepts their feelings than to force them to explain.
Teacher Damei said: The teacher gives the child is not a "love" word can be interpreted, from "The Little Man's Country" I saw the teacher's respect for the child. When all the parents are reflecting on Chi Yiyang's problems, Mr. Da Li finds the shining point of the child: the manhood in him gives other children an example. So our education must be squatted down, and there must be children in the eyes.
Teacher Wen Jing shared her understanding of "children are feet, education is shoes": no matter how beautiful the educational concept you use, if the children do not adapt to the methods you use, it is an empty word, or even a nonsense that hinders their development. For children's education, it is necessary to teach according to their aptitudes, and specific problems should be analyzed.
In the positive and enthusiastic speeches of the teachers, I can feel that everyone is reading with their own thoughts, some confusion at work is suddenly enlightened in reading, some inappropriate behaviors are realized in reading, and some plans at work are born in reading. I think this is the growth that reading brings to teachers.
As I felt this holiday after reading the book "The Philosophy of Education for Preschool Teachers: The Way to Happiness in Education", "A hundred teachers have a hundred kinds of educational wisdom". As long as you read more books, learn more, and pursue educational wisdom in practice, and explore the sense of meaning of life behind education in reflection and dialogue, every teacher may become an "educator".
In the afternoon, we came to Xinhua Bookstore to participate in the "Meet Bookstore" activity of the primary 2nd class winter vacation. This activity is an innovative activity carried out by us to promote parent-child reading and home co-parenting in the context of epidemic prevention and control, using the rich book atmosphere of the bookstore to guide parents to parent-child reading through group activities.
The picture book that Damei teacher and the children read together is "Square Grid Tiger", the tiger is an animal that the children are familiar with and like, and this year is the Year of the Tiger, so the children's experience is very rich, and the observation and narration are very positive. After telling the story, the teacher designed the parent-child production link, and the children and their parents jointly made the tiger by tearing up the stickers and adding pictures, which can be described as different forms and tigers.
After the event, we exchanged with parents about the situation of parent-child reading during the winter vacation, and parents said that reading with their children not only cultivated their children's interest in reading, but also enhanced their parent-child feelings. Due to the time constraints, the parents shared in detail in the class group in the evening.
Ziyi's mother said: Four-year-old Xiaoyi began to pay attention to his appearance and care about his tall, fat and thin. Occasionally, she would secretly apply my lipstick in front of the mirror before going out. Sometimes, I'm anxious to ask, "When will I be able to go out in sandals?" "When I read the books "Exploding Head Mira", "Bigfoot Dancing Ballet" and "Babe Bear" with my children, I found that the things in my child's mind were not as simple as stinky beauty. It's a big deal for a four-year-old girl, as serious as how much we pay a month. Reading picture books with children can slowly enter the child's heart, read the child's joys and sorrows, and retrieve the childhood we have forgotten and lost.
Kai Zheng's mother said: A lamp, a few books, a pair of mother and son snuggled together, this is the warm scene of our family before going to sleep every night. Since the kindergarten launched the Little Seed Reading Festival, the child has been eager to pick up a good book every night and wait for me to read with him. Children's language expression ability, logical thinking ability, independent thinking ability has been greatly improved, many times can fully express their own views, we have also obtained a more harmonious parent-child relationship.
Xiangyi's mother said: Parent-child reading brings me a "quiet" state of mind outside of work. After a busy day, spending reading time with the child before going to bed every night is another way to relax the tired body and mind, not only to let her feel the warmth and love of her mother, but also to build a bridge of parent-child communication between me and my child.
Jia Ning's mother said: The biggest benefit of reading with children is to correct the bad habit of watching mobile phones and watching TV, and increase the feelings between parents and children.
The feedback from parents made me feel a lot of emotions, in the new kindergarten of the fourth kindergarten, which has been open for half a year, reading is a distinct theme, and it has begun on the first day before the opening of the kindergarten. The first book I read with the teachers was "The Little Bean by the Window", and the first book that I shared with the parents at the new student parent-teacher conference was "The Seeds of Ann". In November last year, we launched the first "Little Seed Reading Festival", hoping that through reading, teachers and parents can better understand children and enter children; we hope that through parent-child reading, we can plant a seed of reading in children's young minds and wait for a happy flower to blossom.
This winter vacation, I felt the power of reading. For teachers, they can better understand children's psychology and better understand the meaning of education; for parents, it is the harmony of parent-child relationship and the watchfulness of children's hearts; for children, it is the cultivation of reading habits and the development of ability. It is a pleasure to have such a group of people together, and the future will definitely be better!
