3.15 Class Culture Our Dream Boat

Our class has an amazing magician, the family committee father, who always turns my fantastic ideas about class culture into reality. Over the weekend, he worked with me again to perform one last magic trick on the dream boat.

? The idea of ??a bulletin board area came up when I was competing. When preparing for the competition and answering questions, I found that there are many things that can be done with the help of class culture. Class culture should not be for others to see, but should truly play an educational role and serve as a spiritual guide to gather the centripetal force of the class. In contrast, our class bulletin board area at that time existed mostly just to cope with subject inspections. So, in the last semester, what can our class culture do to make it play a role in stimulating children's inner drive? I sorted it out carefully during the winter vacation.

1. Display a culture

In the last semester of sixth grade, I displayed the class culture design accumulated and passed down over the past six years in the class.

? Our class is called Dream Boat. I particularly like the image of a boat. In the West, sailing is an adventurous thing. Every crew member on the ship must not only unite and cooperate, but also have their own unique and special place and play their own role, so as to ensure a smooth sailing. In China, "boat" has many beautiful meanings, such as economic cooperation, sharing the same boat through thick and thin, and hundreds of teams competing... It not only emphasizes unity and mutual assistance, but also encourages healthy competition. This is so much like my ideal class! My educational ideal is to hope that every child can become a unique self, and at the same time always have others in mind and have the ability to cooperate. So, I shared my thoughts with the children, and when we were in first grade, we decided to name the class "Dream Boat" together. This time, we also built a boat in the class board area.

? The number of words in the class style of our class is relatively large. This is not a random decision by me, but a summary and condensation by the children in the first semester of the sixth grade. At that time, I entered the closed training for the district class teacher skills competition and was not in class for a full week. This week, the class routine is completely maintained by the operation of the class cadre automated management system. When I came back, I held a story meeting with the theme "The Week Without Teacher Wang". During the storytelling session, I heard many stories that brought tears to my eyes. Some children talked about the monitor in their eyes, who came early, left late, was responsible and worthy of everyone's learning; some talked about how they overcame difficulties on their own when the teacher was away and rehearsed together to complete a stage play at that time. tasks; some shared how they maintained self-discipline when the teacher was away; others shared the good people and good deeds in the class... After listening to their stories, I guided the children to condense some words that could represent the class atmosphere. Core words, and ask the class committee to draw posters and paste them on the bulletin board. Our class style is a quality that we are truly proud of and should continue to be inherited.

? There are also class mottos, messages from the class teacher, class songs...everything has its own story. When these cultural symbols are displayed in the class, and when children are immersed in these cultural elements every day when they go to school, I think not only will the children gain some kind of spiritual strength, but the collective cohesion will also be enhanced.

2. Create a harbor

1. Mascot

? The mascot of our class is the big cat from Hayao Miyazaki’s animation world , the children loved this animation as soon as they saw it in first grade. As the guardian of the forest, it also protects every child in Dream Boat.

When I was in second grade, I bought a big Totoro doll and put it in my class. Since then, children have loved lining up to talk to Totoro during recess. If you are unhappy, you will hug Totoro; if you get good grades, you will be the first to tell Totoro; if you have a quarrel with your friends, you will make an appointment to go to Totoro and have a good talk to solve the problem...

Later, a child with special needs was transferred to the class, and the teachers in the whole grade could not do anything about him, so I asked Big Totoro to be his deskmate.

Unexpectedly, the child who shouted and killed at every turn, armed himself with indifference, and was full of hostility towards others, would become best friends with Totoro. In the company of the big chinchilla, he gradually softened and learned about love and sharing.

? Even in the sixth grade, Big Totoro still has its own place in the class. Totoro makes the dream boat feel like home.

2. Totoro Mailbox

The role of the big chinchilla is not only to provide comfort. When encountering problems, the teacher said that he always felt like he was being preached from above, but My Neighbor Totoro said, who could hate it? After all, the big chinchilla is so plump and cute, what bad intentions can it have?

When the big chinchilla doll came to our class in the second grade, it could talk. I set up a Totoro mailbox, and the children all like to write letters to the Totoro and listen to what the Totoro has to say.

In the letter, I chatted with the children in the tone of a big cat and made up some random stories about the big forest; I cared about the children's lives and chatted with them about their concerns; or reminded the children of what they could do. Come on, make progress. I also went to Taobao and bought a pack of acorns, which are the favorite food of Totoro in the animation. I often put acorns into letters to increase the authenticity of Totoro's replies. Every time a child gets an acorn, he or she will be pleasantly surprised.

? In the sixth grade, a new transfer student came to our class. This time, I began to organize the students to take turns writing letters to new classmates in the tone of Totoro. The children had a great time playing this literary game. They are happy that they have the ability to give warmth to others like a giant chinchilla.

Although I have more homework and fewer letters, as long as I receive a letter, I will still respond in the name of My Neighbor Totoro. Even in the sixth grade, even though the children already knew that the big cat was me, everyone was still happy. Why? I think it’s because My Neighbor Totoro represents a child’s stance.

? My Neighbor Totoro, take me to understand children and get into their hearts.

3. Dream Garden

Shusheng Wei said that the class must have "eight things", one of which is flowers. At the beginning of last semester, I took my children to plant flowers together. In addition to playing a role in labor education and aesthetic education, planting flowers also brings some unexpected gains. The little Transparent who is silent on weekdays has become closer to me because she planted flowers with me; the children who need attention have found their own sense of value because the flower seeds they planted have sprouted; and even more Many children have even gained some wisdom and enlightenment from the matter of planting flowers: behind a flower blooming, it takes a long time to slowly brew, wait, receive the shining of light, and receive the moisture of water. Various nutrients are obtained in the soil, and finally a flower blooms on the high branches, telling everyone that my life is complete. So no matter what we do, don’t rush to repay. The waiting time between sowing and harvesting is essential. We call it persistence.

3. Light up a dream

1. Look up at the stars

In the latest and final version of class culture, dreams and stars have become well-deserved keywords . "Keep your feet on the ground and look up at the stars." This is the message from my class teacher that I have been telling my children for six years. By looking up at the stars, Thales helped sailors determine their sailing position and gradually discovered the world. I also hope that by looking up at the stars, children can find their own position in the world and become their own unique selves.

Therefore, in the sixth grade class culture, I designed the dream starry sky element. Through supporting dream-themed classes, children can sort out and evaluate their dreams, and also encourage themselves. Finally, we write our dreams on the stars and stick them on the top of the dream boat with our own hands. When they graduate, ask the children to take their stars with them. I tell the children, I hope you can realize your dreams after graduation. If such a day comes, remember to bring the stars to your teacher.

? I hope this star, which can be seen when you raise your head, can inspire the inner drive of every child in this classroom.

2. Keep your feet on the ground

With the dream of looking up at the stars, down-to-earth efforts are naturally indispensable. At the end of last semester, I found that a study plan consisting of goals, specific implementation strategies or steps, and words of encouragement for myself was particularly effective. Therefore, this semester, in the class cultural wall area, I have left enough space for the children to write their own recent study plans. I think whether the plan can be realized is only one of the evaluation dimensions. More importantly, in this process, children can learn to evaluate their own problems and think about strategies to solve them. At the same time, they can always remember: "If you don't take small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles." , If you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t become a river.”

Written at the end:

Regarding our class culture, this is just a framework, and I will continue to do so this semester. Keep updating details and maybe some new ideas.

? It’s great that I have a class! After six years of growth, the little baby who entered school with his fingerprints has become a young boy who has his own dreams and is willing to work hard to put them into practice. Life is really a wonderful journey. Their growth is the highest honor a teacher can receive. I came with a heart in my hand, how could I not bring half a straw with me? These 43 children gathered together to light up my dreams and make me a better version of myself. I have gained so much from this class.
