"Xie Jinxuan, today my mother wrote you a letter of praise with a happy mood, because you are indeed a good child worthy of praise. After returning home from school, you insist on completing your daily homework and practicing calligraphy, although your fingers are not strong enough in the first grade, you still hold the pen strongly, posture is correct, and try your best to write each Chinese character one stroke at a time. Come on kids, I wish you better and better. ”......
Snow-white A4 paper, exquisite small cards, and sincere words such as the above will be passed to the hands of Mr. Ma, the first grade 15 class teacher of Jinan Oriental Bilingual Experimental Primary School, every day. Every now and then, the children always show excitement and expectation, "Teacher Ma, this is my mother's letter of praise to me!" "Teacher Ma, Dad praised me yesterday, you can see!" "Teacher Ma, this is my letter of commendation!" "Teacher Ma, this is mine!" It is also at this time that Teacher Ma always shows a smile of praise, and follows the rhythm of the children, responding one by one: Wow, awesome! Wow, yours is great too! Wow, congratulations! Wow, keep up the good work!
This is the theme activity of "I am also great at home" carried out by the 15th class of the first grade of Jinan Oriental Bilingual Experimental Primary School!" Since the release of the "double reduction policy", many parents have developed anxiety, do not know where to add, where to reduce, especially as parents of children who have just entered primary school, such anxiety has increased the adaptation to the upgrading of children's identity and the understanding of learning tasks that have just begun.
As the most experienced homeroom teacher of Jinan Oriental Bilingual Experimental Primary School, Teacher Ma looks at the children's behavior and parents' emotions in his eyes and remembers them. As a veteran teacher with decades of experience in primary school education, Mr. Ma has his own concept of education: teaching focuses on educating people, educating people starts from habits, and the method of developing good habits should be praised, and the environment should be combined with home and school!
Based on this consideration, a week ago, Teacher Ma issued a call in the parent group: to carry out the theme activity of "I am also great at home", ask parents and comrades to pay attention to the positive progress of children at home, and submit them to the class in the form of praise letters, including but not limited to study, life, etiquette, hygiene, eating, reading and other aspects.
For this activity, Teacher Ma asked that the letter of commendation must be handwritten or printed by the parents themselves, and then let the child personally hand it over to the teacher's hands, so as to ensure the ritual sense of the activity. In addition, we must seize the children's shining point, praise and praise is the driving force for children's progress, the form is secondary, the content is first! Nurture hope in simplicity and cultivate sparkle from details!
After the activity began, it stimulated the children's strong interest, the children's serious eyes, reading, practicing calligraphy, completing homework, meticulous. A pair of young hands, cleaning, cleaning the table, tidying up the bag, rolling out the dumpling skin, fully engaged.
Children are engaged, parents are also serious, praise letters are more and more specific, more and more timely, more and more sincere. Learning and being able to use is true learning, and knowing and being able to act is true knowledge. Watching the growth of children, parents have gradually put down their anxiety and gradually begun to adapt to the rhythm of behavior of parents of primary school students!
Every child is a star. Every habit is formed by repetition. Jinan Dongfang Bilingual Experimental Primary School Grade 15 Class 15 "I am also great at home" activity is still in progress, tomorrow's praise letter will be sent to Mr. Ma through the children's small hands. But this is only a letter of praise, but also a bellwether for the growth of children and timely charging! (Courtesy of Jinan Municipal Education Bureau)
