How to carry out ecological environment education in kindergartens

The "New Outline" clearly states: Kindergartens should cultivate children's beautiful emotions of loving animals and plants, caring about the surrounding environment, getting close to nature, cherishing natural resources, and having a preliminary awareness of environmental protection. However, people's lack of understanding of the environment has led to environmental damage, such as global ecological imbalance: extinction of animals, climate warming, increase in natural disasters, loss of resources, etc., which have brought threats to our lives and lives. . Therefore, it is particularly important to carry out ecological and environmental education in early childhood. How to educate young children about ecological environment? Through carrying out activities, I have gained some experience.

1. Create an environment with ecological and environmental characteristics for ecological and environmental education

Our park is located in Caohu Industrial Park, Xiangcheng District, with green water and beautiful scenery. The surrounding environment is beautiful and the air is fresh. Combined with the surrounding environment, our kindergarten creates an environment with the characteristics of "ecology and environmental protection". The entire kindergarten demonstrates the concept of "green ecology". The kindergarten environment design with the theme of "green forest", combined with the main color of light green, the entire kindergarten presents Show full of vitality. The internal environment layout of the kindergarten reflects the use of waste items. The corridor on the first floor is mainly decorated with straw hats, fans and sushi curtains, combined with collected mooncake boxes and paper plates. The second floor is themed "Underwater World" and collects crabs. It is decorated with shells, turtle shells, conch and other materials, so that children can receive a beautiful and harmonious ecological environment education in a subtle way.

In order to let children truly experience what should be done to the ecological environment, it is a very good way to create waste recycling bins in kindergartens. For example: Each of our classes has set up a waste recycling station for "Little Environmental Protection Guards". According to the needs of educational theme activities, teachers ask children to collect some safe and hygienic waste at home and place it in the recycling bin by category. The "waste items" of these families "Some have become the raw materials for our fun homemade sports equipment, and some have become daily necessities for our dolls' houses, etc. We sorted and classified the waste items collected by each class and listed them in the art room, including reed poles, Bottle caps, milk tea cups, instant noodle boxes, branches, etc., children can use these raw materials when doing art activities in the art room. They gradually develop an awareness of environmental protection and have deep feelings for these raw materials. They are willing and active to participate in these activities. We used used bottles and cans collected by young children to conduct small experiments. One experiment required children to learn how to scoop water from a basin into a drink bottle with a very thin neck without leaking any water. After the teacher's patient guidance, the children discovered that when choosing a funnel, the outlet of the funnel must be smaller or the same size as the mouth of the water bottle to achieve success. Therefore, the reuse of waste items not only cultivates children's awareness of conservation, but also develops their ability to think about problems from multiple perspectives. He also told the children about the impact of littering waste paper on the environment. Waste batteries will cause damage to soil and water after being thrown away casually, but they can then become useful resources again after recycling and processing. Through these actions, children gradually realize the importance of environmental protection. Waste reuse and conservation awareness are important aspects of environmental protection.

2. Use nature and local unique educational resources to educate children about ecological environment

Chinese educator Mr. Chen Heqin pointed out: "Children's education should take nature and the larger society as the starting point. Let students learn directly from nature and the big society. "Nature is a living book that can't be read to the end, and a wonderful picture that can't be seen enough. It is the best classroom for children to grow. Walking into nature can help children. Enter life and use your own eyes to discover and understand the world. Through field observations, children can experience the relationship between people's survival and the environment, feel the difference between a good environment and a deteriorated environment on humans, and understand the reasons for pollution and damage to the environment, thus motivating children to care for it from an early age. Environmental awareness.

We use local unique educational resources to take children into nature. First, we take children to observe the small river in Caohu Garden. We find that the river water is black and smells bad, and there are plastic bags and Domestic waste such as fruit shells and peels; then take children to experience the natural beauty of Caohu Wetland Park and Suzhou Botanical Garden, perceive the diversity of life through observation, comparison, and collection, discover changes in life, understand the relationship between the growth of animals and plants and the environment, and inspire children to protect Eco-environmental emotions. Then, through the "Little Environmental Protection Guards"-"You throw it and I pick it up" activity, we let the children do it themselves in Caohu Garden and experience the value of environmental protection through actions, and they also realized that "environmental protection must start with me" , start from the little things around you.”

3. Use one-day activities under normal conditions to carry out ecological environment education

One-day activities in kindergartens are rich and diverse, including teaching activities, games, labor, life activities, etc. Among these activities We consciously carry out environmental education. For example: let children learn relevant poems and stories, carry out conversation activities, and initially understand the impact of the environment on human beings. Use the process of children to wash their hands to carry out water conservation education. First of all, children are taught how to wash hands correctly and save water, and develop the habit of tightening the faucet after using water. Then they conduct discussions such as "What would happen without water" to let children know that if there is no water on the earth, people, animals, and plants will not be able to survive. Educate young children to develop good habits of saving water from an early age. Use walking time to consciously guide them to observe trees, grass, and flowers, feel the beautiful scenery, develop an emotional tendency towards a beautiful environment, and educate young children to care for the plants and trees around them. We also require young children to collect leftover waste paper from paintings, origami, paper-cutting, etc., because they can be recycled and reused, which not only saves energy but also reduces pollution. During meals, educate children not to be picky eaters, not to drop rice grains, and to cherish the fruits of farmer uncles' labor, thereby establishing children's ecological ethics of caring for natural resources.

"Games" are children's privileges. In games, children are more likely to accept and master environmental protection knowledge through playing, talking and doing. For example: in the structure game, collect various paper boxes, yogurt cups, toothpaste boxes, etc. to build them. Young children know the impact of waste on the environment. When we collect waste, every piece of waste will become a useful toy in our hands. The different shapes and sizes of these items leave a lot of room for children's imagination. In the game, children will use milk cartons to build various houses, use yogurt cups to form railings... Advertising paper, straws, etc. are all made by our teachers An essential material for making auxiliary products.

In short, children are paying more and more attention to the life around them, discovering beautiful things emotionally, and learning to appreciate and care for them. We will continue to explore the value of natural ecological education and promote children's The comprehensive and harmonious development of body and mind.

Talk about the matching of children's clothing

People are born to love beauty, whether they are adults or children. In the past few days, I discovered a strange phenomenon. Sun Hongying in my class wears Particularly strange: wearing a long-sleeved shirt, a summer sleeveless skirt, loose trousers, and sneakers. I originally thought that the children would not care much about the clothes of their companions, but something unexpected happened. Ren Haiping quietly told me: Sun Hongying was dressed so funny. I asked her why she said that, and she said: This skirt is for summer. Regardless of their young age, the children also have their own unique opinions on matching clothes. Sun Hongying must be dressed like this because of her own "careful design"! At noon, after dinner, Sun Hongying’s mother called and vomited out the confusion in her tutoring: She usually encourages Sun Hongying to do her own things, but her ability has been strengthened and she makes the decision on everything, randomly matching clothes and not listening. The parents' advice gave my mother a headache, and I hope the teacher will think of a solution. After hanging up the phone, I fell into deep thought again: It is right to encourage children to do more hands-on operations and have their own opinions, but it is normal for children to have "unconventional" combinations due to their lack of basic knowledge about clothing matching. Teachers should protect them On the basis of children's self-esteem, enrich children's knowledge of clothing matching. The next day, I brought a lot of my baby's clothes, socks and shoes from home, and gave the children a vivid common sense lesson. First, I asked the children to arrange the baby's clothes according to the season, such as: Spring: Sweaters, jackets, trousers, leather shoes, sneakers, etc. Summer: short sleeves, shorts, dresses, sandals, etc. Autumn: long sleeves, trousers, sweaters, leather shoes, sneakers, etc. Winter: cotton coats, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, gloves , scarves, etc. Then, ask the children to discuss how to match clothes in different seasons: For example: It is autumn now: long sleeves and a jacket with trousers and sneakers; a sweater with a thick skirt (half body or suspenders), pantyhose, leather shoes, etc. Such clothing is all It is very reasonable and beautiful. Of course, clothing is not static, it is ever-changing, so no matter how you match your clothes, as long as they meet the criteria of being reasonable, beautiful, and generous. There is also the matching of clothing colors, which is relatively complicated. Children can only understand it slowly as they grow older, so I won’t go into details here. The day after class, I saw Sun Hongying wearing long sleeves, a vest, trousers, and leather shoes when she came to the kindergarten. She was very beautiful!

Today I am a "mummy"

During game time, Huhu jumped to the "museum", and Maomao assigned him a role.

The game started. Maomao found some chairs and put them together and let Huhu sleep on them. He kept telling Huhu: "Don't get up! Don't move!" After a while, he heard Maomao shouted: "The museum is open! The museum is open!" The mother of the doll family came to the "museum" with her child in her arms. When she saw Huhu lying motionless on the chair, she was puzzled and asked: "Why is he lying here? Ah? Why is there someone sleeping in the museum?" Maomao pulled the mother of the doll family and said seriously: "I will tell you later, now you should follow me to visit! I am the tour guide!"

< p> Then, Maomao pointed to the "exhibits" on the table with a small stick and introduced them to the doll's mother: "These are clothes from ancient times, chopsticks from ancient times, and scissors from ancient times. ..." Huhu lay there, listening to Maomao's introduction with his ears raised. Occasionally, he would half-open his eyes and turn his head to look at the "exhibits."

Finally, Maomao brought the mother of the doll family to Huhu, pointed at Huhu lying on the chair and said: "Dear tourists, this is a mummy!" It turned out that the role Maomao assigned to Huhu was Mummy in the museum!

The mother of the doll family burst out laughing when she heard the word "mummy". Her laughter made Huhu, who was lying down, a little uncomfortable. She even reached out to touch Huhu's face. Tiger couldn't help but opened his eyes. At this time, Maomao was so anxious that he shouted: "Close your eyes, close your eyes!"

Huhu had no choice but to close his eyes, and Maomao started his introduction: "This is our museum. The biggest treasure. We dug it out of the ground! It’s an old man from hundreds of years ago..." As soon as he said this, Huhu became anxious and corrected loudly: "I am not a grandfather, I am a child!"

"Shut up, shut up! How can a mummy talk?" Maomao hurriedly stopped Huhu. Huhu fell silent, realizing that he had forgotten about playing the mummy.

At this time, the mother of the doll family suddenly covered her head with both hands and made a fearful gesture. She shouted "The mummy is alive! The mummy is alive" and rushed out of the museum.

Suddenly, many people gathered at the entrance of the museum. "Okay, okay, the museum is closed, come back tomorrow." Maomao said to the onlookers. While turning around, he told Huhu seriously: "You must not talk when you play mummy tomorrow. You have to lie there like a piece of wood."

I don’t know if Huhu has listened to the rules Maomao made. He only listens to him. Nagging to himself: "I am a child, I am not a grandfather!" Maomao was extremely helpless and shouted to Huhu: "Ah! You are a mummy playing the role of a grandfather! Do you understand?" At this time, Huhu He seemed to suddenly become enlightened, nodding and smiling.

I was amazed at the children’s game creativity, and even more surprised at Huhu’s willingness to cooperate in pretending to be a mummy in the game! Were the children happy during the game? Afterwards, I consciously came to the two boys and asked them about their Game feeling. "Maomao, why did you think of mummies?" "Because there are mummies in the museum, I've seen them!" "Why are people pretending to be mummies?" "It's convenient!" Three words clearly expressed his planning intention. Clearly. I asked Huhu again: "Are you feeling uncomfortable lying there?" Huhu shook his head desperately. "Will you fall asleep lying there?" I asked. "I didn't fall asleep when I was lying there. I was listening to Maomao's explanation and whether he was right. I would also look at where they were explaining..." Huhu recounted in detail what he had done when he was pretending to be a mummy. Think and do.

I sincerely appreciate the charm of the game. Lying down and unable to move for the entire game is a torturous process for any child, especially boys. However, because of the role awareness of playing a mummy and the role awareness that "mummies cannot move", Huhu did it. He worked hard to restrain himself, challenge himself, and experience the joy of the game. For this reason, we should support more such independent games so that children can experience happiness and develop in games.
