Kindergarten planting tips

1. Where are the planting areas in kindergartens generally used?

The planting areas in kindergartens generally use empty land in the garden. Some flower pots can also be placed on the cement ground. It is best not to be outside the garden. By opening up, the park can give children a guarantee.

"Kindergarten planting area" refers to providing a "planting area" for young children in the kindergarten. In the planting field of our garden, children can understand the growth patterns of plants and the phenomena of nature through activities such as sowing, observing, caring for, and harvesting.

In the kindergarten planting garden, I found that it can improve children's hands-on ability. At the beginning of planting, the enthusiasm of the children was not very high, but as the seeds sprouted little by little, the children's curiosity was revealed. After coming to the garden every morning, the first thing they did was to eagerly observe the plants they planted... … Educator Chen Heqin once said: “Take nature and the big society as the starting point, and let students learn directly from nature and the big society.”

That is to say, "nature and society are living teaching materials" and "nature and society are the main sources of knowledge." However, children usually are ignorant and aimless when they come into contact with nature. However, after teachers carefully design teaching goals, they take children to play in a planned and purposeful manner. They understand and explore nature during play, and the effect is completely different.

The "World Declaration on Comprehensive Education" states: "Teachers must realize that their traditional knowledge and local cultural heritage have fixed value and effectiveness and can promote development." Let education return to real life , allowing children to return to the natural environment, this is the new concept contained in the "Kindergarten Education Outline".

Our garden is located under Bailuyuan and beside the Bahe River. There are very rich natural resources around us. How to make good use of these resources is a theme we have been exploring. Plantation land is also an example of the natural environment, and "plantation land" refers to a place where seeds and seedlings are buried or planted in the soil to allow them to grow.

"Kindergarten planting garden" refers to providing a "planting area" for children in kindergarten. Teachers purposefully create a communicative and exploratory planting environment for children, put in appropriate planting materials and planting tools, and use Group or collective activities allow independent operation to discover and explore the secret garden of plants. In the process of activities, teachers are guides, supporters and collaborators.

Our kindergarten has opened a planting garden. Through activities such as sowing, observing, caring for and harvesting, children can understand the growth patterns of plants and the phenomena of nature. During the whole process, the children experienced the joy of sowing, careful care and the joy of harvest.

In the plantation field, children gain some planting experience, understand the relationship between plants, human life and the natural environment, cultivate their love for nature, and then experience the hard work of labor, appreciate the hard-won fruits of labor, and interact with them. This generates positive emotions of respecting and cherishing the fruits of labor. Therefore, in the kindergarten plantation, our children have achieved the following development: 1. Expanded children's cognition.

Babies who are only children don’t know the difference between grains and grains, and they don’t even know many vegetables that they eat every day. Through the activities in the plantation, every time the children in my class walked into the plantation, they all jumped for joy, pointing with their little fingers, talking all over the place, asking what is this and what is that? Soon I could clearly identify the vegetables in the planting field------wheat, leeks, lettuce, garlic sprouts, broad beans, green vegetables, etc.

2. Improve children’s hands-on ability. Mr. Zhang Jialin, a famous preschool educator, once said: "You must educate a child to be able to do things with his hands."

This means that we must cultivate the ability of children to do things with their hands from an early age. Professor Yang Zhenning also pointed out that "Chinese children are obviously not as good as children in European countries and the United States in terms of interest and ability in hands-on work, mainly because they have no hands-on opportunities."

Therefore, in the plantation field, I found that we can improve Children's hands-on ability.

At the beginning of planting, the enthusiasm of the children was not very high, but as the seeds sprouted little by little, the children's curiosity was revealed. After coming to the garden every morning, the first thing they did was to eagerly observe the plants they planted. Then I excitedly watered the plants, pulled weeds, and recorded the new discoveries I observed through paintings.

Everything is done in a decent manner, seriously, and there is no need for the teacher to remind you at all. When I sometimes want to help, they will confidently say: Teacher, I will do it myself! "After a period of time, children are happy to participate in planting activities and experience the joy of the plant germination process, which not only improves children's hands-on ability but also stimulates children's desire to explore.

3. Cultivate children's observation skills . The children are particularly concerned about the growth and changes of the vegetables grown by teachers and students in the plantation.

Whenever the children enter the plantation, some use shovels to loosen the soil, and some use their hands to pull out weeds. . In the process of cultivating children to use their hands and brains, when I found that some vegetables were dried up in the sun, I took the opportunity to let the children find the reason, guide the children to observe the dryness and wetness of the soil, and let the children know that people need to drink water every day, and plants also need to drink water. No exception, let the children know that the reason for the dryness of the vegetables is lack of water, and they should water the vegetables in time.

Don’t suppress the children’s curiosity about things when the beans they plant sprout. The children carefully observed the differences in the leaves. At first, the children did not notice because the leaves were smaller. When the leaves became slightly larger, the children were surprised to tell me that the beans were different and the leaves had different shapes. Some were heart-shaped. , some are long, and some are round.

In such activities, children's continuous observation ability is cultivated.

Plants. The growth is inseparable from careful care. Under the care of the children, the baby seeds are growing day by day. When autumn comes, some unwelcome little guests "grasshoppers" come to the plantation. , Grasshoppers only eat baby vegetables, which makes our children very anxious. Grasshoppers are pests and we need to get rid of them.

The children were bending down and looking for them in the plantation. It didn’t take long for Li Siyuan to appear. He said: "When I was in the countryside, I saw grasshoppers on green vegetable leaves. Go and have a look on the green vegetable leaves! "Sure enough, Li Siyuan caught one beside the vegetables. He picked up the grasshopper and shouted loudly: "I caught one." At this time, the children became excited. They all bent down together and carefully searched for the grasshoppers beside the vegetables, and found two grasshoppers. Suddenly, several grasshoppers were caught in the plantation, and the children happily raised the grasshoppers in their hands.

Later, the children came to plant them several times.

2. In the kindergarten. Class health lesson plan: small planting corner

Kindergarten health lesson plan: planting corner

Teacher: Teacher Qu

Activity goals:

1. Experience the fun of planting in practice.

2. Master simple planting skills

Activity focus:

Let children have fun in doing it themselves. .

Activity difficulty:

Observe the relationship between plants and water.

Material preparation:

Planting horn plants, string, and flowers. Water containers, small shovels and other planting tools.

Design ideas:

We are currently carrying out the theme of spring, so the children's observation of plants has increased. The horned plants did not arouse much interest among the children when they were first planted. After the first stage, when the seedlings grew, the children became more and more interested in watering them every morning, but they always failed to do so. Appropriate. One day, two children had an argument about watering. One said watering more and the other said watering less. I wanted to use this activity to further improve the children's planting experience.

Activity process:

1. Watering Children observe the plants when they come every day, try watering the seeds, and see how much water is needed every day. If not, What happens to water?

2. Observe whether the seeds germinate. Divide into planting groups, observe the growth of the plants, and make records. At the same time, we should also observe the growth of plants in other groups. Look at the difference. If not, ask what the difference is.

3. Discussion: Why do seeds need to be watered every day? After observation, organize the children to discuss why the seeds need to be watered every day.

(More lesson plans are available at: Teacher Qu’s lesson plan website)

3. What activities can be carried out in the breeding and planting kindergarten

It is the flower blooming season, in order to let Children can get closer to nature and care for the environment. Recently, the city's No. 2 Kindergarten organized all children to carry out planting and breeding activities.

With the assistance of parents and teachers, the children made simple tools using cans, instant noodle boxes, etc., and opened a breeding area and planting garden in the courtyard. In the plantation field, the children planted cucumbers, beans, eggplants and other crops; in the breeding area, the children carefully raised fish, turtles and other small animals. At the same time, small observers were also divided into groups to regularly observe the growth of animals and plants, and explain and report to the children.

Through such planting and breeding activities, children can develop qualities such as loving labor and cooperating with peers, and inspire children to care for nature and respect life. It not only cultivates children's interest in exploring science, but also enriches children's practical experience that they cannot learn from pictures, and promotes children's all-round development

4. Reflection on small science plantations for kindergarten classes

(Reference sample)

Provide observation records for children to guide them to pay attention to the growth and changes of vegetables, and develop an interest in caring for and observing the growth process of vegetables. (Commentary: This link mainly starts from the children's curiosity, using the problems they encountered during the planting process as a "lead" to fully mobilize the children's desire to continue exploring, so that the children can carry out in-depth exploration and explore in their own exploration activities. , accept scientific knowledge, enrich children's planting experience, and enable children to develop their thinking, cognition, and scientific interests.) Activity reflection: Planting activities are an extremely interesting exploration activity that is not limited by time. Being able to use local materials and get out of the dilemma of "poor conditions and no materials for scientific activities" is very suitable for rural kindergartens and is also beneficial to changing the single, closed classroom education form. When organizing educational activities, I mainly adopt a layer-by-layer approach. After the children have a certain experience in planting activities during the spring outing, I will promote it and give the children a certain amount of space and opportunities, so that the children can Discover problems during the exploration and experience process, look for educational wisdom, and help children gain certain experience and problem-solving abilities.

Therefore, it seems to be one activity, but it is indeed connected with content in other fields. For example: children's cognition, emotion, science and other fields are all infiltrated in the activity. After this activity, the children generated several hot spots: For example: Child A: The vegetable seedlings fell over as soon as they were watered. Later, we replanted them and dug the pits larger and deeper. (The vegetable seedlings were planted too shallowly) Child B: Someone stepped on the vegetable seedlings we planted, so we asked him to be careful. (Points to note when caring for vegetable seedlings) Child C: I had a dispute with child XX. I said: The roots should be buried in the soil, but he said I planted them wrong.

(How to grow radish), therefore, under the question, we will generate some follow-up activities, such as how to let children take care of and observe the planting corner; taste the vegetables grown by themselves, etc. The entire activity lasted for a month. We received guidance from farmers with rich planting experience and cooperation from parents. We deeply realized that as a preschool teacher, especially a rural preschool teacher, we need to continue to learn and update educational concepts. , Improving educational skills can better guide children to observe and explore nature and feel the beauty of the countryside.

5. How to cultivate children’s observation ability in planting activities

Observation is an important ability for children to understand the world and acquire knowledge. All cognitive processes start from the specific observation of various objects and phenomena. Children's understanding of the world begins with specific perceptual activities. They observe the characteristics and changes of things and distinguish them, thereby discovering simple and obvious connections between things. Observation is an ability developed by young children based on the development of feeling and perception. Children can arouse their thirst for knowledge, curiosity, and actively acquire knowledge through observation.

How to improve children’s observation ability during planting activities? It has always been a headache for me, and I have benefited a lot from studying this article:

First of all, create an environment and atmosphere that children like to observe. We often say that the environment makes people, although this sentence cannot It's absolutely true, but the environment plays an important role in young children's learning and development. In scientific education, using observation as the basic means and creating a good observation environment for children is the main guarantee for cultivating children's observation ability. For example, in the activity of observing seed germination in the "Planting Garden", children were guided to plant soybeans in different environments with sufficient sunshine and shade at the same time. Through observation, the children discovered that although they were watered at the same time, in sunny places, soybean seedlings They grow very luxuriantly, but the soybean seedlings always fail to grow in places where there is no sunlight. From this, the children know that the growth of plants is inseparable from water, and it is also inseparable from sunlight. The environment and atmosphere of these observations are loved by young children, thereby developing their most basic scientific qualities.

Secondly, cultivate children’s interest in observation. Interest is the driving force for children’s learning. In early childhood education, it is crucial to grasp the age characteristics of children and maintain their interest in activities. First, choose appropriate plants that are easy to survive. Plants with a short growth period are easy for children to observe. Plants that bloom and bear fruit can make children feel the joy of harvest. During the observation and perception process, the children spoke freely and described the shapes, colors, sizes, etc. of the plants and flowers. The children's emotions were high during the activity. In searching, children transfer their experiences. Second, give a positive influence. Children’s interests need to be stimulated by teachers. Therefore, in plantations, teachers should show special concern and strong interest in the plantations, promptly answer various questions raised by children, and stimulate children to explore. Plant secrets.

Finally, 1. Teach children the correct observation methods, such as: sequential method, comparative observation method, observation recording method, tracking observation method, multi-sensory observation method (when observing, you can use your eyes to see , touch it with your hands, smell it with your nose, and taste it with your tongue, which will help you have a comprehensive understanding of things, train the comprehensiveness of observation, and at the same time, deepen the impression of the thing in your mind.)

2. Organize various forms of observation activities to allow children to contact various things and observe various phenomena in practice, which is very necessary to cultivate children's observation ability. .

1. Combine regular planting activities with irregular activities. We often take the children to observe the plantations during walks and outdoor activity breaks.

2. Extend the planting activities to the natural corners of the class to facilitate children’s exploration and observation.

3. Introducing parent volunteers into planting activities makes full use of parent resources, closes family relationships, and stimulates children's enthusiasm to participate in activities and the effectiveness of observation.

4. Use multimedia technology to enrich teaching content, allowing children to experience the mysteries of science and the wonders of nature while viewing vivid pictures.

5. Observe organically in various activities. In the planting activity, teachers provide materials for children, allowing them to observe and think in a sequence based on planting experience. This not only enriches the planting experience, but also develops the ability to observe.

Through practice, we have found that it is easiest to capture children's interests in a free and relaxed atmosphere such as outdoor activities, games, walks, etc. Therefore, in daily activities, we must know how to protect and utilize children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and stimulate their interest in observation, so that we can better cultivate children's observation ability.

6. What are the benefits of carrying out planting activities in kindergartens to the development of children’s observation ability?

1. Stimulate children’s interest in sowing.

Interest is the driving force for learning. Only with interest can children actively participate in all planting activities. How to arouse children's interest in planting? Teachers use sowing as an entry point to stimulate children's interest in planting.

First, the teacher came to the planting field with the children, observed it on the spot, and asked the children to discuss: What should we plant on it? Then give the children a certain amount of time to think about it and collect relevant information in this regard. We will discuss it together in a few days. The discussion after a few days was very lively. The children collected a lot of information through different methods and decided to plant immediately.

The children excitedly brought many seeds, including garlic, broad beans, rapeseeds, etc. They discussed how to plant these seeds according to their own ideas. Under the guidance of the teacher, the children were busy Some loosened the soil and sent the soil, some dug holes, and some children picked out the pebbles in the soil. The children carefully inserted the garlic into the small holes, and when planting wheat and vegetable seeds, the children The children sprinkled these seeds into the soil with their little hands. Look at their concentration. They all seemed to be experts in planting. Finally, the children poured water on the baby seeds. During the sowing process, the children discovered that different seeds are planted in different ways, and there are many little secrets hidden in them.

"When will the baby seeds grow?" "Which side should the garlic face up?". From discussing the plants to grow to collecting seeds to planting, the children are not directly told, or the teacher decides what to plant.

Instead, the problem is raised, and then the children find ways to solve the problem and make full use of parents' resources. This is also the development of children's abilities. Finally, through life-student interaction, the experience of peers is used to influence young children. Transform individual experience into collective experience. After sowing, the children became very interested in the sown seeds, and they had the interest and desire to further plant and explore.

2. Promote children’s exploration through observation. The growth of plants requires a long process. During this process, children observe, care for, and record the growth of plants. In these activities, there are many development opportunities. It allows children to develop various abilities, gain more knowledge and experience, and experience the emotions of success. Young children are very interested in changing things in their daily lives, and the growth of plants is a process of change that is easy to see clearly.

The planting in our garden has greatly broadened the children's horizons. In different seasons, children can learn about different varieties of vegetables.

The garden is a place where children like to do activities every day. First of all: it expands children’s cognition.

Babies who are only children don’t know much about grains, and they don’t even know many vegetables that they eat every day. Through scientific activities in the plantation, every time the children in my class walked into the plantation, they all jumped for joy, pointed with their little fingers, and talked all over the place, asking what is this and what is that? I quickly recognized more than ten kinds of vegetables in the garden.

Secondly: Cultivate children's observation ability. One of the main purposes of taking my children to the plantation is to cultivate their observation skills.

I first start by increasing the children's interest in observation. Under my guidance, I gradually improve the children's awareness of observing things. The children are particularly concerned about their growth and changes in the vegetables grown by teachers and students in the plantations.

Whenever children walk into the plantation, some use shovels to loosen the soil, and some start pulling out weeds. In the process of cultivating children to use their hands and brains, when I found that some vegetables were dried up in the sun, I took the opportunity to let the children find the reason, guide the children to observe the dryness and wetness of the soil, and let the children know that people need to drink water every day, and plants do not Exceptionally, let the children know that the reason why the vegetables are dry is lack of water, and they should water the vegetables in time.

Do not discourage children’s curiosity about things.

For example: whether the broad beans have grown, so they will dig up the soil to see; some children want to see how the plants drink water, so they pull out the roots to observe; some children water the plants too much because they want them to The seedlings drank more water, and some picked broad bean flowers to see if they looked like butterfly flowers. Behaviors such as this are not easy to understand from an adult perspective, but this is where children are curious. I actively guide and participate in these. They work together to research and find answers.

Children often encounter some "profound" problems during their exploration activities. These "esoteric" questions, on the one hand, greatly increase the opportunities for children to solve problems on their own, making them more challenging than previous activities, and children are more happy with them. They also promote exploratory activities to a certain extent. unfold in depth.

At the same time, after children discover problems, they will collect information and solve problems through different channels and methods. The value of our activities is not only to enhance children's knowledge and skills, but to set up an environment full of excitement to allow children to explore on their own and learn actively.

Let children think and discover independently, and create opportunities to find solutions to problems through discussions or arguments with peers. Children experience happiness in labor by participating in labor themselves.

Develop children's various abilities during operations. Research has proven that children's operational inquiry behavior can enable them to better understand things and their relationships, and promote the development of children's various abilities.

The process of children discovering, asking, and solving problems on their own is also the process of forming their thinking, expression, personality, and learning methods, which is of great value to children's future development. With the advent of autumn, our garden-wide natural corner planting activities have begun in full swing.

This activity is not only consistent with the topic, but also can improve children's observation ability. The topic of planting is life-oriented, allowing children to touch and experience, and is close to the children's life experiments. , it is by no means a single content, but integrates multiple educational factors. The famous Italian educator Montessori once summarized the status of observation in educational activities as bold letting go, careful observation, patient waiting, and timely guidance.

Observation is not just looking around casually, but a purposeful and planned way to reveal the inner laws of the object of observation through such an intellectual activity. Observation is the ability that people develop through observation practice or related practice.

Therefore, observation ability requires our conscious cultivation.

7. How to embody interest in kindergarten planting activities

Planting in the garden is steady and orderly.

Relying on the large plantations in the park, each age group carries out corresponding planting activities according to their own characteristics, such as comparative planting of radish for the small class, lettuce for the middle class, and cauliflower for the upper class. Children take the initiative and participate in the whole process from sowing to management. Active participation not only deepened the understanding of vegetables during the planting process, but also promoted children's hands-on practical ability. Class planting and innovation.

Taking classes as a unit, each class focuses on opening up a class planting area, including vegetables, garlic, chrysanthemums... all kinds of vegetables. At the same time, this semester has also added the planting of Chinese herbal medicine to the class, expanding the types of planting and enriching the content of planting.

The planting environment has its own characteristics. While carrying out planting activities, the garden has enriched the characteristic planting environment. There is a simple planting atmosphere everywhere indoors and outdoors. Whether it is the tile walls or indoor planting areas, every corner allows children, teachers and parents to feel the joy of planting activities. Effectiveness.

As the key feature of Yaozhuang Kindergarten, "Happy Plantation" has achieved good results in several years of development. In the future, our park will add more innovations on the original basis to make the special activities achieve greater results.

8. How to cultivate the observation ability of small class children in planting activities

Child psychology research shows that observation is a purposeful, conscious and relatively long-lasting perceptual activity, which requires Children use their sense organs to directly perceive the appearance characteristics of objects, or to analyze and compare two or more things, and to observe and compare the development and changes of things before and after, thereby gaining rich impressions and new insights, and ultimately forming a certain level of concepts. There are many ways to cultivate children's observation ability. After nearly a year of scientific research activities in our kindergarten, "carrying out planting activities to cultivate children's practical ability", we found that the effect of cultivating children's observation ability by using planting activities that children love very much is quite obvious.

1. Questions should be used to guide the observation, so that the children's observation can be purposeful, detailed and make discoveries. 1. Questions should be inspiring. Generally, questions can be asked first to guide overall observation and characteristic observation. For example, "What kind of flower is this?" "How do you know it is a butterfly flower at a glance?" "What kind of seed is this?" "How do you know it is a broad bean at a glance?"... Inspire children to work hard to find the most obvious features, Then ask questions in order to help children observe and describe the characteristics of each part, such as "The shape of a pansy flower is like a butterfly" to guide children to observe sequentially and carefully. For example, "The winter jasmine flowers are light yellow, some have five flower divisions, and some have six flower divisions", "What will be the result if the cactus can be grown in water?" etc. Let children think and record when observing, so as to master some systematic knowledge. 2. Ask questions to all children, and then ask individual children to answer. In this way, all children can quietly listen to the questions and observe, and seek answers, so that the discoveries and answers of individual children become collective discoveries, so that all children are in an active state, not just the task of the person being asked. For example, if a child discovers that a peach blossom has five petals, then all the children will hold the peach blossom and count the petals. Of course, children of different levels should have different difficulty requirements for their questions. For children with weak abilities, you can ask them simple questions such as observation and description. For example, Chen Guanghai, a child in our class, is a transfer student. During the seed classification game, let him pick out broad beans, red beans, etc. and put them into their respective marked pots. Then ask him to name the seeds, so that he can quickly Learned about common seeds. 3. After the question is raised, children should be allowed time to observe and think, so that the question can truly guide the observation, instead of asking the child to answer immediately after raising the question.

2. During planting activities, cultivate children’s ability to observe and compare.

The growth and development of the same plant will be different under different conditions. In planting activities, if teachers can pay attention to the use of language prompts that are directly related to the results of planting activities, it will be very helpful for children to connect all aspects of things and examine them, and then gradually discover the connections between various things or components of things. relation. For example, we organize children to sow vegetable seeds. The teacher leads a group of children to sow seeds in a plantation, and then leads another group of children to sow seeds in pots. The pots are placed indoors, and the children in the two groups are allowed to observe and compare the vegetables they have sown. During the observation and comparison of seed germination and growth, children learned the importance of sunshine, rain and dew on plant growth. These activities greatly cultivated children's ability to observe and compare.

In short, during planting activities, children should be provided with opportunities to observe, so that they can learn to observe during the activities, so that they can develop the habit of observing things carefully from an early age, develop their observation skills, and thereby improve children's intelligence. and ability.
