2. The thought that from tomorrow on, I can sit at my desk and let the headmaster see the lunch box with the taste of the sea and the taste of the mountain makes Xiao Doudou's heart full of joy. He really wants to scream with joy.

Butterflies are still busy, and birds are singing sweetly from far and near.

Content introduction:

The protagonist Xiao Doudou is a little girl with a unique personality. She is smart, cute, enthusiastic, lively and caring, but naughty and talkative. Because I am too free, I am not bound by the "rules", I can't be accepted by teachers and classmates, and I am dismissed by the school. Later, her mother sent her to the Ba Xue Garden in the tram classroom.

Caring President Kobayashi accepted her, and Xiao Doudou became a member of Ba Xueyuan. Under the enlightenment and correct guidance of President Kobayashi and the care of love, the eccentric little Doudou gradually became easygoing and disciplined. Xiao Doudou's behavior has changed. Mom and dad love her more, adults can accept her, and teachers and classmates like her very much.

In the process of small Doudou growing up, many stories happened around him. She has designed different dreams for herself and experienced many setbacks and failures. However, with a strong personality, she did not give up in the face of repeated failures, and still insisted on going on.

Reading experience:

1、

The little Doudou in the article seems to be very strange and naughty. However, after reading this book, I feel that she is lively and lovely, kind and caring. While playing with my pet "Loki", I was bitten by a mad dog and my ears were bleeding. However, she is kind-hearted and afraid that her parents will blame and punish "Loki". First of all, she didn't care about her pain, but kept saying, "Don't blame Loki! Don't blame Loki! It doesn't hurt at all, don't be angry with Loki, don't be angry! " Xiao Doudou loves his dog "Loki" more than himself. She loves her parents, teachers, classmates, everything around her and everyone with full love.

From many stories in the article, I realized that it is not terrible for a person to have shortcomings. The terrible thing is that he can't get the correct guidance, and he doesn't know where his mistakes are, let alone how to correct them. At the same time, I also realized that people are most afraid of being left out and abandoned in adversity. What they need most is warmth and love, because the power of love is immeasurable.

If, like the first school she attended, she was abandoned by teachers and schools; If my mother hadn't sent her to Ba Xue Garden; If Xiao Doudou didn't meet President Kobayashi who knew her so well, she would have such a caring teacher. Then, the innocent little Doudou will not have a chance to get the correct guidance from Teacher Kobayashi, and her study life will not be so happy. Without the encirclement of love and the promotion of the power of love, the "uniqueness" of Xiao Doudou's personality quirks will not be changed correctly soon, and there will be no future glory for her.

Therefore, after carefully reading the book "Little Doudou by the Window", I deeply understand that the love between people is the most precious.

2、

Two days ago, I saw The Little Peas by the Window by the Japanese writer Liu Zi. It tells the story of a child who was expelled from school in the first grade because he was naughty. After being rejected by many schools, my mother had to send Xiao Doudou to Ba Xueyuan, a school with less than 50 students.

The Ba Xueyuan is only converted from several trams, and the children's classroom is the carriage of the tram. The education mode of Ba Xueyuan is completely different from other schools. Children can learn while playing, but the educated students are all excellent, and Xiao Doudou is no exception. There are more than a dozen students in each class. Children don't have fixed seats, so they can sit anywhere they want. Children decide which class they want to take first every day. In such a learning environment, children are full of freedom and autonomy. In this way, children like learning very much, and it is also convenient for teachers to know more about each student's hobbies. It was during this period in Ba Xueyuan that Xiao Doudou's life foundation was promoted. Finally, when World War II broke out, Baxueyuan was destroyed by American B29 aircraft.

I also yearn for the teaching method like Ba Xueyuan. Unlike our school, teachers often ignore minor courses such as science, ideology and morality in order to improve students' grades. We go out early in the day and come back late, and we have to do a lot of homework when we go home at night. We are so tired that we don't even have time to catch our breath, let alone be happy! Teachers and parents have completely turned us into "machines" that can only read dead books.

So I think our school should also learn the teaching methods of Ba Xue Yuan. Take more practical classes to cultivate students' practical ability and let students learn knowledge in play, so that children will learn easily and happily; Give students more time and space, let them read more extracurricular books and expand their knowledge.

After reading this book, I understand that learning to be happy is also a way!

"Little Doudou by the Window" tells a true story of the author Tetsuko Kuroyanagi (Little Doudou) in elementary school. In the first grade, she was expelled from her old school for being naughty, and then she came to Ba Xueyuan. Under the care and guidance of President Kobayashi, Xiao Doudou, who is "weird" in the eyes of ordinary people, has gradually become an acceptable child, laying the foundation for her life.

To tell you the truth, I am a little envious of Xiao Doudou. Because she met a great principal? Mr Sousaku Kobayashi. Mr Sousaku Kobayashi has a unique view on education. He listened to Xiao Doudou for four hours without yawning; I thought of converting the abandoned tram into a classroom; Respect Xiao Doudou's imaginative ideas and so on. These things seem incredible to teachers who only know how to teach according to the rules. However, it is this "incredible" way of education that is very suitable for children's growth. Understanding children's inner world is the starting point of educating children.

Xiao Doudou is very lucky. Because she has such a mother. When she learned that Xiao Doudou was dropped out of school, she didn't say angrily to Xiao Doudou, "What's the matter? You really want to drop out of school! " Instead, he silently looked for a new school and said to Xiao Doudou, "Let's go to the new school and have a look. I heard that it is very good there! " Let Xiao Doudou walk into the new school without inferiority. When Xiao Doudou was drilling barbed wire to break clothes, he lied to his mother and said, "When I was walking on the road just now, other children threw knives at my back, so it became like this." Although I didn't believe that the knife cut my clothes, I just said, "Oh, really? This is too scary. " Because my mother thinks that even Xiao Doudou has to make excuses, it can be seen that she is unwilling to break this dress because she cares. This is the mother who really understands the child!

In fact, we might as well think about the characteristics of small Doudou: vigorous, naive, very polite, etc., which are basically ours. We are all "little peas", but we have never met such an understanding and good headmaster as Mr. Sousaku Kobayashi. And such a good mother.

Only the harmonious development of family, school and society can bring up an excellent child. We have no way to evaluate the social background of Xiao Doudou. Fortunately, she really has these two perfect powers, which are enough to achieve her outstanding life in the future. As an educator, maybe we don't have the strength to make the children around us lucky to have a perfect family, and we can't change our social environment. But we should try our best to bring children good luck in another field. Treat every child with tolerance and believe that when God closes one door for one person, he will also open another door for him. Treat every child with heart and build a Ba Xue Garden for children with love.

I finished reading the book "Little Peas by the Window" in one breath. Close your eyes, and a fairy-tale world emerges in your mind. Here, Xiao Doudou learned to love learning and care for others; Here, there is no discrimination and ridicule, only equality and love, tolerance and sincerity; Here, you will also experience fear, helplessness and sadness. All these make Xiao Doudou grow into an emotional, kind, simple and happy child, just as Mr. Kobayashi, the principal, often said, "You are a good boy!" " .

The book Little Doudou by the Window was written by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, a famous Japanese writer and TV presenter. This book tells a true story of the author in primary school. The story took place in Tokyo before the end of World War II. Xiao Doudou was expelled from the original primary school for being naughty, and a brand-new school "Ba Xueyuan" accepted her. "Ba Xueyuan" is a unique school. The classrooms in the "Ba Xue Yuan" are all abandoned trams, and there are no more than ten students in each class. The children's seats in each classroom of "Ba Xue Yuan" are not fixed, and children can sit wherever they want. Principal Kobayashi of "Ba Xue Yuan" is an educator who cares about children and really cares for them. When the headmaster first met Xiao Doudou, he smiled and listened to Xiao Doudou for four hours without any impatience or boredom. "Ba Xue Yuan" lunch: At the beginning of lunch, President Kobayashi will ask everyone, "Have you all brought the taste of the sea and the taste of the mountains?" It turned out that the headmaster didn't want the children to be partial to food, and let them eat vegetables, meat and fish. The education mode of "Ba Xue Yuan" is that children start learning from their favorite courses every day, and the courses are never fixed. In the afternoon, children usually go out for a walk under the guidance of their teachers, experience nature, and unconsciously learn about geography and nature. The sports meeting of "Ba Xueyuan" is to let the children plan their own strange projects and let each child play his own specialties ... In short, all the fresh and moving scenes of "Ba Xueyuan" are so enviable.

In the "Ba Xue Yuan", all the teachers are trying to find the progress of children bit by bit and treat them equally. There is no distinction between teachers and students. Teachers, students and even principals are all good friends, and they have completely lost the restraint of students in front of teachers. Xiao Doudou lives and studies freely and happily in the "Ba Xue Yuan". All children (including Xiao Doudou) would rather go to school than go home, because school life is so interesting.

1945, the "Ba Xueyuan" was burned down in the air raid in Tokyo, and the children were forced to transfer to other schools, but President Kobayashi's love for the children and enthusiasm for education will never go out. In the postscript of this book, the author writes that many children in the "Ba Xue Yuan" have made some achievements when they grow up.

The author of this book does not use the language of rational words at all, but uses simple and straightforward language to express childlike simplicity between the lines. It is precisely because of this that 1984, after reading the English version of Little Doudou by the Window, UN officials thought that "this person knows children's psychology so well that there is no more suitable candidate", so they appointed her as UNICEF, following the internationally famous movie star Audrey? The seventh goodwill ambassador after Hepburn and the first goodwill ambassador in Asian history.

Perhaps, many people will think that this kind of education in the book is whimsical, and its requirements for love, patience and imagination far exceed those for knowledge. But I think this is the voice of many children. If schools, teachers, parents and even our society work hard for it, I believe that this kind of education will last forever.

After reading Little Doudou by the Window, I was moved by the innocent, kind, innocent and natural behavior and language of the protagonist, and was fascinated by the kind and easy-going teaching method in the "Ba Xue Yuan" described in the book.

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, the author of this book, is the hero of this book. He has been a headache for school teachers since he was a child. Later, he transferred to a new school: Ba Xueyuan. The headmaster is a researcher who has devoted his life to educational methods. He said: No matter which child is born, he has excellent qualities. In the process of his growth, he will be influenced by many factors, both from the surrounding environment and from adults, and these excellent qualities may be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to find these "excellent qualities" as early as possible and let them develop, so as to cultivate children into individuals. In the process of reading, I am often amused by Xiao Doudou's lovely and brave adventure behavior. For example, when Xiao Doudou's wallet fell into the toilet, she fished out everything in the cesspit and piled it up into a "hill". Principal Kobayashi only said "put it back when you're done"; For example, Xiao Doudou and his puppy Loki hit each other and hurt their ears; For example, one day, Xiao Doudou was hanging from a tree with one arm, and the principal came over and asked her what she was doing. Xiao Doudou said that she saw beef hanging like this all day and wanted to make beef today ... Interesting things are really endless, which makes people laugh.

Ba Xueyuan is a school full of infinite happiness and freedom. I really envy you. I envy naughty little Doudou for meeting President Kobayashi who cares about his students. Envy her to enter such a unique and desirable school; I envy her for meeting so many lovely and interesting things in Baxueyuan! If only we could study in such a school!

In this winter vacation, I read a book called Little Doudou by the Window, which was written by Japanese Tetsuko Kuroyanagi.

When I first saw the little peas by the window, I fell in love with them inexplicably, just like being caught inside. A few days later, I became good friends with Doudou, the little hero in the book.

Today, I open it again, to appreciate, to dig and to find its essence.

In the quiet classroom, all the children are doing their homework. Doudou suddenly stood up and ran to the window to talk to the swallow. The whole class burst into laughter. This has happened many times. I opened the drawer lid, slammed it shut, drew pictures on the table with crayons, and asked some strange questions, which made the teacher very headache. Finally, the school decided to let her transfer. At first, I always giggled when I saw these. Then, when I first went to school, wasn't I just like her? A smart, lively and naive girl jumped from the page. "What a vivid image!" I always praise a few words.

Doudou came to the "Ba Xue Yuan". This special school is unbelievable. Only 50 students in the school use trams as classrooms, but the teaching methods are ingenious. In class, let students choose their own subjects and study which subjects they like; Walking, let students go to the wild, virtually increased their knowledge; Competition, training students to be bold and careful; Activities to cultivate students' mutual help and friendship. Xiao Doudou grew up here, and I was attracted by it. That wonderful story, that fluent language, drives me crazy.

The little Doudou by the window told a true story of the author in elementary school. Xiao Doudou was dropped out of school and accepted by a brand-new school "Ba Xueyuan". "Ba Xue Yuan" is a different place. "Ba Xue Yuan" has a unique school gate, which consists of two dwarf trees with green leaves. In the words of Xiao Doudou, it is "the school gate that grows out of the ground". "Ba Xueyuan" has a characteristic classroom. They are abandoned trams, and they are the tram classrooms of Xiao Doudou. "Ba Xueyuan" has a unique principal. When I first met Xiao Doudou, the headmaster listened to Xiao Doudou for four hours with a smile. During this period, the principal just smiled and asked a few words: "What happened later?" Or: "So that's it!" No impatience, no boredom. "Ba Xue Yuan" has a unique lunch. At the beginning of lunch, the headmaster will ask, "Did everyone bring the smell of the sea and the smell of the mountains?" "The Taste of the Sea" and "The Taste of the Mountain" turned out that the headmaster didn't want the children to be partial to food, so he had to eat vegetables, meat and fish. "Ba Xue Yuan" has a unique educational method. In the first class every day, the teacher writes down the lessons to be attended that day and the key points of each class on the blackboard, and then says, "Let's start the class, starting with the class you like." So the children started from their favorite class. Some people write compositions, some do physics experiments and some do math problems. Slowly, the teacher will know what each student is interested in, the way he is interested in, and the way he thinks about problems, so that teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the most effective education method.

The happy childhood in Ba Xue Yuan influenced Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's life. This book has not only brought countless smiles and touches to tens of millions of readers around the world, but also injected new vitality into the development of modern education. In this book, you can find your sunny childhood.

"Little Doudou by the Window" This is the true story of the author Tetsuko Kuroyanagi (Little Doudou) in primary school. When Xiao Doudou's mother met the teacher, the teacher said that Xiao Doudou was not attentive in class, either pulling the drawer constantly, or greeting the swallow under the eaves, or standing up to greet the propagandist outside the window, and then letting them perform. . Many examples, my mother also felt really embarrassed to bother her classmates and teachers again. Finally, my mother led Doudou to the "Ba Xue Yuan". Mom didn't tell Xiao Doudou that she was expelled from school because she was afraid of hurting her self-esteem and self-confidence. "Ba Xueyuan" accepted her. "Ba Xueyuan" is a unique school. Classrooms in "Ba Xue Yuan": abandoned trams. Principal of "Ba Xue Yuan": When I first met Xiao Doudou, I listened to Xiao Doudou for four hours with a smile, without any impatience or boredom.

At the beginning of lunch in the "Ba Xueyuan", the principal will ask, "Do you have the taste of the sea and the taste of the mountains?" "The taste of the sea" and "the taste of the mountain" were originally special names given by the headmaster because he didn't want the children to be partial to food. The educational method of "Ba Xue Yuan": I will learn from my favorite courses. "Ba Xue Yuan" Sports Meeting: Be able to plan strange projects by yourself, so that every child can give full play to his special skills. Activities of "Ba Xue Yuan": In the morning, if all the courses are finished, everyone will go out for a walk to learn geography and nature in the afternoon; Set up a tent in the auditorium at night to "camp" and listen to the principal's travel story ... How enviable all the fresh and moving scenes in the "Eight Snow Gardens" are.

The little peas in Ba Xueyuan are free and unrestrained. There is no distinction between teachers and students. Teachers, students and even principals are all good friends, and they have completely lost the restraint of students in front of teachers. Perhaps, many people will think that this kind of education is whimsical, and the requirements for love, patience and imagination far exceed the requirements for knowledge. But I think this is the voice of many children. I hope we can grow up healthily and happily like the little peas in Eight Snow Gardens.

I bought this book "Little Peas by the Window" and read it. While reading carefully, I found my sunny childhood from this book.

This book mainly tells a real and touching story that the author experienced personally when he was in primary school. After the author Xiao Doudou was expelled from the original school for being naughty, he went to visit Ba Xueyuan with his mother. I fell in love with the headmaster the first time I met him and thought he was very amiable. The headmaster also thinks Xiao Doudou is very cute. Under the care and guidance of President Kobayashi, in the end, President Kobayashi cultivated Xiao Doudou into a lovely and well-educated child. Xiao Doudou is a kind-hearted and helpful boy. How rare it is! I like President Kobayashi's educational methods very much. He is always thinking about his children. When he grew up, Xiao Doudou became a famous Japanese writer, TV presenter and UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

What interests me most is: Xiao Doudou's kind and naive behavior! Once, Xiao Doudou wore a very beautiful bow, and Meidai liked it very much. In order not to pester the headmaster to buy it every day, Meidai took off this proud bow. What I admire most is that Xiao Doudou can consider other people's feelings while being happy. What a good boy!

From this, I realized a truth: no matter what you do, you should think about what others will think and know how to care about others. Before this, a similar thing happened: a classmate had difficulty in doing his homework and asked another classmate, but the other classmate not only didn't tell him, but also laughed at him for being stupid. At that time, the boy heard the tears and ran down. From this little thing, you can reflect a person's quality. I think if it is Xiao Doudou, she will try her best to help others enthusiastically, which is a sharp contrast. Tell me another classmate. How would he feel if he was the classmate who didn't understand and wanted advice but was laughed at by others? So use your own feelings to infer others' feelings and put yourself in others' shoes.

Xiao Doudou's cute, childish and strange thoughts and behaviors make people laugh. Make this book a classic bestseller and worth reading!

Childhood, in everyone's eyes, should be beautiful. It represents innocence, fun and carefree enjoyment of endless happiness.

Childhood, there can be countless naughty, never tired of playing, you can not think about future happiness and troubles, you can say whatever you want and do whatever you want.

I believe that no child who has read the book "Little Doudou by the Window" does not envy Xiao Doudou's childhood, and so do we adults. Looking back at our children now, their childhood has changed. They have a plenty of childhood surrounded by books and immersed in the ocean of problems, but their childhood has lacked sunshine and childlike interest.

Xiao Doudou can learn from his favorite subjects every day. As long as he has mastered all the knowledge he needs all day, the teacher will lead them to take a walk outside the school, which is the happiest thing for the children. What the children see during the walk, the teacher will infiltrate the relevant knowledge accordingly. In such close and harmonious contact with nature, children's thoughts are exiled, their hearts are liberated, and laughter is everywhere, which will never be learned in school.

The most unexpected thing is that once the principal invited a farmer to give a class to the children, and the place was next to the pool of Jiupin Buddha outside the school. The farmer's teacher told the children how to grow crops, while demonstrating on the ground, from weeding to ploughing, from ridging to sowing radish seeds and fertilizing. One by one, I told you other knowledge about insects, birds, butterflies, weather and so on. Finally, everyone finished the sowing work together, and the children were very happy, and they all became masters of sowing. In the days to come, children are most concerned about their crops, and they always get together to talk about their crops. What a wonderful lesson this is! I believe that children will never forget it.

It can be seen from these that President Kobayashi's Ba Xue Garden is rich and colorful, and his school fully embodies the concept of "life education". Children can fully enjoy a happy childhood, but they are also constantly enriching their knowledge in all aspects. At this point, children nowadays are missing a lot. Nowadays, children are confined in reinforced concrete and lack many opportunities to get close to nature, so that they can't master the knowledge they should master in life. They only know the knowledge in books, but they don't know the real things in nature.

Xiao Doudou is a problem student. She dropped out of school But her mother, like all mothers, is worried about her daughter. She didn't tell Doudou about dropping out of school this time, for fear of leaving inferiority in Doudou's heart. On the contrary, she said, shall we go to a new school? I heard it's very nice there! Doudou's confidence in the new school is also because of her mother. When Doudou had dinner for the first time, she took out "The Taste of the Sea, the Taste of the Mountain", which can be said to be a sensation in the whole school, because her lunch box was colorful and looked as beautiful as a flower bed. Teacher Xiaolin gave us a vivid lesson with her "fish floss"

Her mother raised her hand in favor of the "adventure" activities organized by the school, such as catching ghosts, watching the sea and having a picnic. She always looks at President Kobayashi's works with appreciation. The harmony of home-school education is what our teachers want most.

Mom is also a good friend of Doudou and promised to buy a chicken. When Doudou let the dog bite his ear, his mother kept her promise and didn't punish the dog afterwards. "Jumping on the beach and going into the cesspit" is intolerable in the eyes of ordinary parents, but her mother didn't blame her, just reminded her to pay attention to safety.

After being dropped out of school, Xiao Doudou, like other children, spent his childhood happily and without stress. That's because Doudou's mother didn't tell her, let alone blame her. What about children now? Don't say you were expelled from school. As long as the parents are invited by the class teacher to talk, the children will be frightened. Their childhood lived in a stressful environment. How can childhood be happy and carefree in such an environment?

After reading the book "Little Doudou by the Window", I think it is a book that both parents and teachers should read. From this book, we can understand their feelings from the perspective of children, and also let us know how to educate children and how to make them have a happy childhood. I don't think I have done well enough in this respect, but I will move towards this goal in this way.

Today, I was reading a book called Little Doudou by the window. The protagonist of this book is the author of this book. This book is the best-selling book in Japan's history, published in 33 languages around the world, and has tens of millions of readers. The author of this book is the most famous writer and TV presenter in the world because of her experience in the book. She is Xiao Doudou-Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, a child who was expelled from school for being naughty in the first grade.

As soon as I picked up the book, I couldn't put it down and read it all at once. This book mainly tells the story of Mr. Kobayashi's founding of a distinctive school-Ba Xueyuan. The Ba Academy specially accepts some naughty and whimsical children who are not welcomed by other school teachers, but Mr. Kobayashi carefully designs educational methods according to each child's ideas, and they all grow up to become talents under the training of Mr. Kobayashi.

After reading this book, I like Ba Xue Yuan very much. Ba Xueyuan is very distinctive. Mr Kobayashi knows children very well. He teaches students in accordance with their aptitude and uses different teaching methods to let these children study freely, such as tram classroom, walking, going wherever they want, and singing before eating ... Ba Academy is 1937- 1945. I can't help crying when I read this. I feel sorry that such a good school has been destroyed. I think: if there were no war, how many talents Mr. Kobayashi would cultivate!

Xiao Doudou's fame is also related to her mother's education. When Xiao Doudou was dropped out of school in the first grade, her mother didn't feel discouraged and blamed Xiao Doudou, but tried her best to find a suitable school for Xiao Doudou. Finally, Xiao Doudou became a writer under the education of Xiao Lin.

If today's parents and teachers can run more schools like Ba Xueyuan like the parents and teachers in the book, there will be no more children who are tired of learning! I think: this is probably the reason why this book sells well all over the world!
