On the morning of April 18, experts from the Second Alliance of Hai'an Preschool Education walked into Haibei Kindergarten in Hai'an High-tech Zone, Jiangsu Province, focusing on curriculum construction and opening a half-day immersive class guidance.
Immerse yourself in the environment and understand the connotation
The environment is a silent teacher, but also an invisible curriculum, expert teachers from the perspective of children, observe the indoor and outdoor environment of the kindergarten. The Four Seasons Table that speaks natural language, the living wall that serves children, the interactive and fun theme wall and the game wall...... All of them demonstrate the educational concept of "child-oriented", experts and teachers communicate and share, and truly feel that the prepared environment is based on the position of children, and children participate together to meet their full experience of the playground!
Independent play, childlike fun
The happy figures of the children shuttle through every playground, with happy and confident smiles and active dedication, fully showing the sunny demeanor of the cute babies in the north! Look, on the small hillside, the children are busy exploring, weaving, reading, sketching, and building; in the field area, the children create a variety of game contents according to the terrain -- doll's house, field battle, climbing; in the riding area, the children skillfully use resources to create gas stations, car washes, etc.; on the small stage, the children beat gongs and drums, and dance...... Wander in the pristine natural environment and enjoy the infinite joy of the game!
Lesson Sharing Witness growth
Teacher Cheng Tingting shared the class course "The Secret of Leaves", which was triggered by the children's discussion of the topic of "whether the leaves are symmetrical", and carried out a series of exploration activities such as exploring the leaf edge, making leaf specimens, extracting chlorophyll, and looking for insect traces on the leaves. Based on a series of issues such as "how to stimulate children's interest in participating in the physical cycle" and "how to return the right to use site planning and materials to children", Ms. Qian Yujia shared a series of practical activities in the process of carrying out the class physical fitness cycle, so that everyone can see the charm of an excellent teacher who is good at thinking and daring to try.
Research and wisdom collide together
Learning and knowing is insufficient, thinking and knowing backwards. The expert teachers fully affirmed the scientific and reasonable, diverse and diversified use of venues and resources in Haibei Kindergarten, the daily life of the orderly and independent and in-depth, and the teacher's calmness and steadfastness, wisdom and professionalism, and the children's concentration, devotion and happiness...... Director Yu said that the external environment of the North Kindergarten is exquisite, and the connotation development is profound! Freedom, autonomy, pleasure and creativity are fully reflected in every link. Children's activities are practical and orderly, the curriculum is carried out carefully and professionally, the environment is useful and effective, and the teachers are wise and happy in their work.
Through this class guidance activity, Haibei kindergarten teachers and experts had a collision of ideas, narrowed the distance between kindergartens and schools, and also made our kindergarten teachers clear the direction of their efforts, and learned a lot of valuable experience for their own professional growth, which benefited a lot. We will continue to follow children's perspectives, give full play to the interactive role of the environment in children's active learning, and strive to make the limited activity environment a ladder for children's infinite growth.
