In June graduation season, the teachers will say goodbye to a group of children who are with them day and night. To commemorate this special occasion, teachers and students will perform a ceremonial graduation ceremony. Today, let's take a look at what the graduation ceremonies of other countries in the world are like.
Venue: Solemn and solemn
Teachers and parents alike attach great importance to the first graduation of their children in their lives. The national flag and kindergarten flag are hoisted directly in front of the auditorium, and the chairs below are neatly arranged, as solemn as a university graduation ceremony.
Admission: Formal and orderly
The venue was properly arranged and participants entered one after another. For the sake of attention, everyone should wear formal clothes, or traditional kimonos, and must not destroy the seriousness of the ceremony. The graduates wear corsages, accompanied by music, and enter the auditorium under the guidance of teachers. After the class is fully admitted, they will be seated in a unified manner.
Formal process: serious and warm
There are 5 steps in the formal process:
The first item: the head of the kindergarten awards a graduation certificate
In order of class, the graduating child respectfully receives his or her first graduation certificate from the head of the kindergarten. During the whole process, the head of the kindergarten personally bowed and shook hands with each child, and this action may be repeated hundreds of times. If a child forgets to shake hands, the head of the kindergarten will kindly remind: "We haven't shaken hands yet." "They pay attention to every detail, so that children feel respected from the heart and feel the sacredness of graduation."
After receiving the certificate, the graduate bowed deeply to the head of the kindergarten. And share your graduation impressions with everyone. Children do not have to prepare the content of the speech in advance, they can speak freely. During this process, the other children sat upright on stools. The whole hall is quiet, only the music teacher plays the graduation song affectionately, such a solemn moment, people are all moved.
It is precisely because of this sense of ceremony that children take seriously the first graduation in their lives, and every graduation and separation in the future.
Item 2: Speech by the Director
The principal congratulated the graduates and parents and summarized their achievements and gains in the park. And wish the children to become excellent primary school students.
Item 3: Parent representatives and other guests delivered speeches and thanked the park
Parents review their children's growth and progress in the kindergarten and sincerely express their gratitude to the teachers for their efforts.
Fourth item: The younger siblings of the primary and middle classes wish the graduates well and wish the older brothers and sisters a happy study and life after entering primary school
This not only makes the children in the graduating class feel that the kindergarten attaches importance to their graduation ceremony, but also allows other children to feel the atmosphere of the graduation ceremony in advance.
Fifth item: Graduates sing graduation songs and take graduation photos
The graduates sang the graduation song "Goodbye, Our Kindergarten" and took group photos of the graduation.
After the solemn ceremony, the children said goodbye to each other with their teachers and classmates and finished school for the last time in kindergarten.
After watching the whole process of the Japanese kindergarten graduation ceremony, it was really touching. The strong graduation ceremony atmosphere made the children gradually understand that if they want to grow up to become first-grade brothers and sisters, they must say goodbye to the kindergarten time. Even if there is reluctance, at the moment of completion of the ceremony, the encouragement of the teacher, the applause of the classmates, and the certificate in his hand give the children unlimited strength and expectations for the new starting point.
One of the greatest meanings of ritual is that children can learn to grow rapidly after stepping into a new stage. This positive self-suggestion brought about by the sense of ritual can allow children to ride the wind and waves with a serious, optimistic and courageous attitude in the face of various challenges and difficulties in the process of growing up, and set sail on the long road of life.
Each country has its own cultural characteristics, and while we absorb good experience, we must also hold a unique graduation ceremony for children in combination with the actual situation of the kindergarten.
Xiaobian recommends trying to avoid these misunderstandings:
Myth 1: Treat the graduation ceremony as a "program performance"
Kindergartens' excessive attention to the "performance" link in the graduation ceremony is bound to dilute its educational theme and affect the role of education. Some kindergarten graduation ceremonies have gorgeous stages and wonderful performances, but they do not pay attention to etiquette education and ritual sense, thus losing the opportunity to carry out gratitude education.
Other kindergartens hold graduation ceremonies together with other literary and artistic activities, resulting in the solemnity of their ceremonies being weakened and the transitional function being limited.
Myth 2: Spend a lot of time rehearsing the show
The graduation ceremony is a ceremony to announce the end of kindergarten life for kindergarten children, which is one of the important links in the kindergarten life of kindergarten children, but the kindergarten for various considerations, stops daily education and teaching activities, simply rehearses performance programs, and even sees the scene of children sleeping during performances on the Internet, which makes people laugh. This blindly increases the burden of a lot of practice for children, and wastes a lot of their time for happy learning and playing, which is not worth the loss for children.
Myth three: Children's emotional experiences are not valued
The graduation ceremony is not a report to the results of parents, nor is it a pure appreciation and entertainment program, only when the children really have emotions such as touching, gratitude, and recognition in the activities, the educational significance of the ceremony can be truly exerted. Kindergarten ritual education should be based on young children and carried out for young children, and respect for children's life growth and emotional experience should be taken as the starting point and foothold.
