But my son lost his only winter school uniform jacket. Recently, an orange friend posted on the Orange Persimmon interactive app, complaining that his son was skipping rope in the playground and lost the school uniform when he came back, so he had to tearfully order a new school uniform, hoping to catch up with this wave of cooling.
During this time, the weather in Hangzhou repeatedly jumps between autumn and winter, many schools have also started winter long-distance running, various clothes have begun to "grow" on the playground, and the school's lost and found office has also been busy.
A long run down
More than a dozen school uniforms were forgotten in the playground
At noon this Monday, the Orange Persimmon Interactive reporter came to the Wenyi Campus of Wenyi Street Primary School in Hangzhou, and from 12:20 to 12:40 noon every day, it is the opening time of the school's lost and found.
The school's Lost and Found Office is located on the first floor of the South Building of the Academic Building. There is an umbrella stand at the door, on which are scattered three sweaters and coats, waiting for the owner to claim them. These three pieces of clothing were just lost by the students, two of them were jackets and one was a sweater. The reporter picked up these clothes and looked at them, the sizes were 130 and 140, which should be from the middle and low grades.
Teacher Zheng Jiacheng, a Young Pioneers counselor at the school, said that the clothes placed on the umbrella stand are usually picked up by teachers or students on the playground and just delivered. Recently, the school has just started winter long-distance running, and sometimes after the long-distance run, a dozen forgotten coats can be left on the playground. Uniforms with names and classes can be sent directly to the class, and those without a name will be sent here. If no one claims it after a day, the garments will be officially added to the "Lost and Found". The longer they stay here, the slimmer the chances of "going home".
Opening the door to the lost and found, a forgotten space emerges. Inside, there are scattered clothes, red scarves, drinking glasses, skipping ropes, glasses and other items, some of which have been stored for many years. Usually the children stay after going to the playground to exercise and activities.
Teacher Zheng said: "A year ago, we cleaned up this place as usual, and I found a total of 1 or 200 left red scarves, most of which are new, but many of the owners of the red scarves are estimated to have graduated, and no one has claimed them at all, which has become a problem left over from history." ”
In order to improve this tricky situation, since this semester, the school has vigorously launched a series of rectification measures, and issued a unified label to all students in the school, so that everyone can paste their own information on the school uniforms, skipping ropes, and water cups that are easy to lose, so as to easily find out the owner. As a result, fewer and fewer clothes were sent from the school's lost and found office, and the rest were basically some personal clothes that were not tagged.
Name stickers on the student's uniform
"We also asked everyone to take off their red scarves and put them in the classroom before physical education classes and long-distance runs, so that the problem of large number of red scarves being lost has also been improved a lot. "
Next, the school also plans to put a red scarf storage basket at the door of the lost and found, and place the one or two hundred red scarves accumulated before in batches.
There is a first-grader
Lost 300 pencils in one semester
In addition to school uniforms, coats, drinking glasses and other large items, a large number of unclaimed stories of stationery are also staged in the "lost and found" of each class all year round.
Teacher Chen Danwen, the second-grade homeroom teacher of Xiasha No. 2 Primary School, has been fighting wits with the bad Xi of throwing stationery at random with students in her class for more than a year.
In September last year, Ms. Chen took over a first-grade class, and from the first week of school, there were all sorts of unclaimed pencils and erasers in the classroom. As soon as the little master claimed a few, new stationery came one after another.
Over the course of a semester, nearly 100 pencils and erasers had accumulated on the podium. Teacher Chen organized several classes of lost and found, inviting students and parents to claim their stationery, some children obviously lost their pens, went on stage to look around, stunned that they could not recognize their pens, and went down empty-handed. There are also children who claim several at once.
In the class group, there are often parents asking for help: "Who saw my pencil?" There are also parents who come home and see strange new friends in their children's pencil cases, take photos and send them to the parent group for everyone to claim.
Teacher Chen said, "One day after school, I was talking to a parent about their child's use of stationery. Because I noticed that this child usually has a Xi of playing with pens in class, and the loss of pencils is also serious. As a result, the parent nodded and said that in the first semester of the first grade alone, the child had lost more than 300 pencils! This should be the highest loss in the class, and I was shocked. ”
Teacher Chen paid attention to the fact that in class, students also had many ways to play with pencils, such as biting the tip of the pen like a cannonball, and some pencils were cut off at the waist and took out the refill, which was extremely "cruel" on the spot. Many children have no concept of the value of stationery such as pencils, and feel that if they lose it, they will lose it, and their parents will buy it again.
Teacher Chen believes that the main reason why children lose a lot of stationery is that they don't cherish it enough. In order to make the students cherish the stationery, Mr. Chen took great pains to organize many related activities for the students, such as learning about the life of pencils, making a "stationery orphanage", storing stationery, and "collecting small pencil heads" DIY pen caps.
Among them, "collecting small pencil heads" is the most effective and favorite way for children. "My own daughter is also in primary school, and I found that she often uses pencils very short until she can't write, so I ask her to find a pen cap and put it on the tip of the pen to continue writing, so as to make the best use of it," said Ms. Chen. Inspired by this, I also started to solicit small pencil heads from everyone in the class to encourage the children to make good use of each pencil. When they have hopes and goals, they cherish pencils even more. ”
Over the course of a year, the concept of "making the best use of things" slowly penetrated into the children's hearts, and the class also accumulated a lot of pencil heads.
Recently, Mr. Chen, together with the parent committee and art teachers, took the children to start a number of DIY activities using these small pencil heads, and the children used light clay, cream glue, and various decorations to add interesting pen caps, Christmas trees, and small hairpins to the small pencil heads......
After the completion of the work, the children started a new round of small pencil head storage plan.
1st Grade Class
80% of children have lost their stationery
Chen Jingjing, a teacher from Yuqiao Primary School, is a first-grade student this year, and she also has a deep understanding of the problem of lost stationery. Mr. Chen also summed up a set of interesting rules:
In some cases, there are five identical pencils on Monday, and on Tuesday, the number of pencils begins to decrease, after Wednesday, the number of pencils in the pencil case begins to increase, but all the pencils are added by other people, and on Friday, all of these pencils disappear inexplicably, and on the weekend, parents will help their children replenish their "ammunition" and start a new week.
In the classroom led by Mr. Chen, there were also a lot of unclaimed pencils, erasers, rulers and other stationery on the podium.
"Children have a very interesting phenomenon that they know their pens when they put them in the pencil case, and they don't know them when they leave the pencil case. Sometimes I pick up my own pencil and ask others: Is this your pencil?"
Ms. Chen believes that this phenomenon is indeed a common problem in the lower grades, and about 80% of the students in her class have lost stationery. "The best way to solve this problem is to deal with the root cause and cultivate a good habit Xi as early as possible. For example, the stationery should be marked or labeled, so that even if it is lost, it can be quickly returned to its original owner. ”
According to Mr. Chen's observations, the ability to organize personal belongings is also related to the ability to learn Xi. "If you often have to spend time looking for stationery during class, you will have less time to listen effectively and will interrupt your concentration in class. It is recommended that parents can encourage their children to tidy up and sort themselves at home to improve efficiency. ”
