Summary of the activities of the Young Pioneers Squadron in Primary School 1 It's another Children's Day. This is the first time that children celebrate this festival as young pioneers. A series of activities have been carried out in the school. Taking this opportunity, I also arranged a series of activities of "I am glorious, I am a young pioneer" in this class. These activities are summarized as follows.
First, make use of squadron activities to let each student know more about the knowledge of the Young Pioneers.
In class team activities, students can know the role, call sign and joining ceremony of young pioneers in colorful activities, know the size, appearance and symbolic significance of the team flag, know the elegant demeanor of young pioneers in more detail, and formulate the team spirit suitable for their squadron through "honesty, courage, unity and liveliness".

Two, combined with the requirements of the school to carry out a variety of practical activities.
Under the guidance of the brigade counselor, our squadron is unwilling to lag behind and responds positively. For example, launch "I am on duty today" to do my part for the class. The activity of "Everyone strives to be a good player" was launched. Many team members compete to donate flowers and books to the school, water the flowers and plants in the small flower beds of the school, and clean the village sanitation.
Third, use the "learning garden" to give full play to the strengths of each team member.
"Learning Garden" is a knowledge camp for students to increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. At the same time, it is also to display their talents in the "garden" to give full play to the players' specialties and hobbies. The players actively participated, and several players were in charge. Some design typesetting, some design pictures, some draw lace, some copy, and produce a good blackboard newspaper with "Young Pioneers' knowledge".
This week's activity is a very meaningful activity before June 1st. We also established the game content and arrangement of the "June 1" garden activities in the dispute. Of course, there is also a lot of time and energy devoted to it.
Summary of the activities of the Young Pioneers Squadron in primary schools II. The work of the Young Pioneers in Zhang Chunmei has ended this semester. Under the correct guidance of the school brigade, our first (1) squadron successfully completed the activity planning task of this semester. In order to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, make the following summary.

Guided by the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Young Pioneers' activities with various forms and interesting contents are carried out with colorful experiential educational activities as the carrier. Such as "Autumn Tour Taibao Park"; Carry out traffic knowledge propaganda and tax law knowledge propaganda; Visit the office of the school team and watch the CD of the Young Pioneers Joining Ceremony.

They cultivate their own sentiment of loving beauty, thus cultivating students' thoughts and feelings of loving the motherland, nature and life. Let them set up lofty ideals, cultivate good quality and make comprehensive preparations for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Summary of the activities of the Young Pioneers Squadron in primary schools 3 To commemorate the establishment of the Chinese Young Pioneers, our school requires all classes to hold squadron activities with the theme of "glorious young pioneers".
The activities of the "Glorious Young Pioneers" squadron in our class began with the loud team songs. The activity is divided into four parts:
The first is to review the glorious team history. Five contestants introduced the origin of Chinese Young Pioneers and the origin of red scarf respectively.
The second is to sing praises to the great motherland players and recite poems-"We love you, China! 》。
The third is the talent show of the Young Pioneers.
The fourth is to do good deeds and dedication.
This activity enhanced students' understanding of the origin of the Chinese Young Pioneers and the red scarf, further strengthened students' patriotism education, and stimulated all the team members' sense of belonging and honor to the Young Pioneers organization through the activity.
The harvest of this activity:
1, the ability of the players has been improved. The squadron leader in the class has good grades, but he is less courageous. I encouraged her and trained her. Students are confident, courageous and perform well in the activities.
Through this activity, the students learned more about the Young Pioneers and gave them a good patriotism education.
3. This activity provided a good platform for students to show their talents, and their talents in recitation, speech, accordion and violin were well displayed. Students show their talents, enhance their self-confidence and improve their influence in the class.

Summary of the activities of the Young Pioneers Squadron in primary schools. The Young Pioneers are a team organization of primary school students. As the first team members, they are excellent students in the class. Joining the team is over. The activities are summarized as follows, which also lays the foundation for the following work:
First, the success of this activity:
1, before the activity, after two drills, students were familiar with the process and the activity went smoothly. Although there are many people involved, the arrangement is more appropriate.
2. The host is very resourceful. Here, we should do a good job of training the host in advance, especially if the microphone is not easy to use, so we must give the host a hint in advance.

For the admission ceremony, students should not be seated, but should queue up.
3. The host should train himself in advance;
4. The flag bearers and flag bearers of the brigade should also do more training in advance.

Summary of the activities of the Young Pioneers Squadron in primary schools 5 Today's children, as masters of the 2 1 century, will shoulder the heavy responsibility of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which requires them not only to have scientific and cultural knowledge, but also to have good quality. In other words, as the new owner of 2 1 century, it should be all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor. In view of this, over the past year, our squadron has carried out various activities in order to let the squadron of Class 5, Class 5, Five go up a storey still higher, which are summarized as follows:
First, use squadron activities to carry out ideological and moral education for each team member.
For a long time, I have attached great importance to carrying out various squadron activities in combination with children's characteristics and interests, and carrying out ideological and moral education for each team member. For example, in order to cultivate students' good behavior habits, I launched a series of squadron activities with the theme of "being a good image" in combination with the column of China Youth Daily. Such as "knocking etiquette", "how to get along with people", "how to make phone calls" and "how to receive guests" and so on. Through these activities, students can understand the importance of image and what is beauty in language, behavior and mind. Another example is to cultivate students' collective spirit, tell students the truth that "everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high", and make use of the sports meeting held by our school last semester; Our squadron carries out the activity of "Everyone strives to contribute to the class", and all the players who don't participate in the competition strive to do a good job in logistics for the players, such as buying mineral water, taking clothes and shoes and so on. Therefore, in this school sports meeting, our class won the second place in the team competition.
Two, combined with the requirements of the school, to carry out a variety of squadron activities.
School leaders attach great importance to the work of Young Pioneers. Under the guidance of the brigade counselor, the work of the Young Pioneers in our school has been carried out vigorously, and our squadron of Class 5 in five years is not willing to lag behind and responds positively. For example, in order to cultivate the artistic sentiment of the team members, I organized the whole class to dance and sing collective songs; In order to improve the team members' idea of serving the public, I held a squadron theme meeting with Comrade Lei Feng as a shining example, which inspired everyone. In order to encourage the team members to actively participate in the audition of the announcer required by the school, I launched a "text reading contest" and a "story telling contest"; In order to cultivate the team members' self-motivation, I also launched the activity of "Everyone strives to be a good team member". All the students strive to do good things for the school, such as watering the flowers and plants in the small garden, donating books to the book corner in the class, and making up lessons for the students.
Third, use the "learning garden" to give full play to the strengths of each team member.
"Learning Garden" is a knowledge camp for students to increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. At the same time, it is also to show off their talents in the "garden" to give full play to the players' specialties and hobbies. Our squadron carried out the activity of taking turns to publish blackboard newspapers. There are monthly editions, and several team members are responsible for each edition. Since the launch of this activity, team members have actively participated, some designing typesetting, some designing pictures, some drawing lace, and some copying.
In short, since a semester, our squadron has made certain achievements in all aspects, and was rated as "excellent squadron" by the school, and I was rated as "excellent squadron counselor", but there are also many shortcomings. However, with the strong support of the school leaders and the guidance of the brigade counselors, all the members of our Class Five (5) will achieve better results in the future.
Summary of the activities of the Young Pioneers Squadron in primary schools: There are 49 students in class 62 (3), and a well-organized squadron committee has been set up, which is divided into four teams. Under the guidance of the squadron counselor, implement measures, carry out various activities as planned, and integrate education into the activities. The quality of the players has been greatly improved, and good behavior habits have been gradually developed. Strive to cultivate cross-century talents.
First, abide by the norms and strive to be young pioneers.
At the beginning of school, make full use of the class meeting, conscientiously implement the "Code of Daily Behavior for Primary School Students" and encourage students to develop good behavior habits from an early age. Then through telling stories, playing games and performing, let students correctly understand how to abide by classroom discipline. How to abide by the routine of school life and do a good job on duty; Educate them to love their parents, teachers, classmates, the collective, the motherland and the people, and learn to use polite expressions; Learn to care for schools and daily necessities, care for public property ... and then guide students to take the content of primary school students' daily behavior norms as the basis of their behavior. Finally, students are strictly required to carry out training to strengthen the code of conduct. Teachers regularly check and supervise according to the "regular system" formulated by the school. Praise students' good performance and educate them about bad phenomena. In order to further restrain students' bad behavior, our class also carries out the appraisal activities of "civilized collective" and "civilized individual", and everyone strives to be a young pioneer. Through activities, "civilized groups" and "civilized individuals" have emerged constantly, forming a situation of "obeying the rules and everyone striving to be an excellent player". Students consciously abide by discipline and live and study orderly in the class group.
Second, carefully train team cadres to serve the Young Pioneers.
In the work of Young Pioneers, I pay more attention to the training of team cadres. On the basis of last semester, we will continue to pay close attention to management by objectives and cultivate cadres' self-management and organizational ability. First of all, I will show you around the exhibition hall of the school and learn about the history of the school. The list of winners of teachers and students introduces the growth process of alumni to the team members and encourages them to study hard. Learn the primary code again, and then put forward the squadron management goal. In the way of selecting cadres, we should introduce competitive mechanism, consciously create a dynamic competitive environment, stimulate the competitive psychology of team members, and guide them to get exercise in the competition with correct methods. Since the establishment of the Young Pioneers, all cadres in the squadron have been competing for posts for a term of two months. Call on all members of the squadron to participate in the election. Each member should make a speech and say which position you want to be. Can you do it? Enhance the sense of participation, and then discuss at the squadron meeting, * * * cooperate with the selection, and then divide the work according to personal specialties, and finally issue letters of appointment. The cadres selected in this way have a strong sense of responsibility, can work hard to complete their jobs, have pioneering and innovative spirit, are not afraid of difficulties, and have the courage to explore experience in practice. It is also necessary to conduct regular team training to improve the team's business knowledge. Cultivate their ability to work independently, let them go to work, and often adopt the method of giving tasks and pressing burdens to encourage them to practice boldly. For example, let the team members try to be "little teachers" and learn how to manage the afternoon reading and health work of a class; Assist teachers to carry out literacy competitions, calligraphy competitions and theme class meetings to enrich life content; Through these activities, the squadron's work has been carried out vividly, and at the same time, their organizational management ability has been cultivated.
Three, to carry out a variety of young pioneers activities, education in the activities.
The basic point of the Young Pioneers' work is to carry out colorful team activities and integrate education into the activities. Therefore, I make full use of the educational position of Young Pioneers, combine class meetings with team activities, and carry out targeted, thoughtful and interesting team activities according to the educational requirements of the current situation and the central task of school work.
Summary of the activities of the Young Pioneers Squadron in the seventh grade of primary school This semester, our second and first squadrons actively carried out various activities under the leadership of the brigade department and the moral education department, and achieved good results. Now it is briefly described as follows:
First, the selection of outstanding players.
Everyone, whether students or teachers, likes to praise. It will be a great pleasure if some of my efforts can be recognized by everyone. I hope every student has the opportunity to show himself, get praise and have a very healthy and confident attitude. I want to affirm the efforts and improvement of every student. Therefore, with the goal of establishing a democratic, harmonious and United class group, establishing a good learning and working environment for students, and with the aim of promoting students' all-round development and cultivating their various skills, I have formulated a set of more effective evaluation system, and agreed with students on a series of implementation rules, that is, the column "I have made progress again", in which the name of each student is displayed and the progress of each student is marked with a small red flag. All aspects have been divided in detail, and the necessary evaluation criteria have been established to reward students with smiling faces. Every 10 smiling face can be replaced by a small red flag and posted in the column "I have made progress again".
Our evaluation system has brought great impetus to students, and their enthusiasm and enthusiasm have been obviously improved. Of course, I also adjusted the students' thoughts in time: our study is not to win these red flags. Smiling faces and red flags are signs of our progress, but they are not our goals. Our goal is to do everything well and use every knowledge well, so we must be good students with all-round development.
Second, take care of our learning environment and take the initiative to pick up a piece of paper.
Everyone loves cleanliness and will not allow anyone to get his face dirty. I think our healthy job is to maintain our face. Our classroom and health area are the faces of Grade 2 1 class, and students will never tolerate it being dirty all day. This semester, I made a detailed health work plan, and the responsibility was assigned to everyone. Gradually, even if the teacher is no longer present, the students can supervise each other and finish the cleaning work in time. At the same time, I launched an activity of "actively picking up a piece of waste paper" in my class. Some students have the problem of littering waste paper. This behavior not only destroys the hygiene of the class, but also is very impolite. To this end, we specially held a class meeting to study the solution. Give praise and encouragement to students who can pick up a piece of waste paper at will, and call on students to learn from these little guardians who care for the environment. Since the launch of this activity, our class hygiene and school hygiene have been greatly improved. The students gradually developed good hygiene habits.
Third, do things efficiently and have love for people.
At present, the family prefers the' only child' and lives a carefree life. Many students have the habit of procrastination and laziness. This semester, I gave students the ideological education of "doing things efficiently" and got in touch with their parents. The two sides cooperated and took some measures according to the situation of each student. What you have to do today will never be put off until tomorrow, and the effect is still good. For example, when some students go home, they only like playing and watching TV, but don't like reading books, so they are guided to tell stories to their parents and classmates. He can't tell a good story without reading, which makes him gradually develop the habit of reading every day. Some students lie in bed in the morning to delay time. Sometimes parents arrange everything as soon as they are in a hurry. I made an agreement with my parents that he must finish everything by himself. If he is late, he will be late. Whenever, he must finish everything before going to school. If he is late, the teacher will naturally ask why. After one time, he was no longer embarrassed to delay.
In addition, in daily management, I also pay attention to educating students to have love for others. Students help each other, be humble and care for each other. In this year's "Hand in Hand Giving Love" activity, each student took out his own pocket money and donated more than 200 yuan and 70 clothes to the children in the mountainous area. In this activity, the students received a good education. Some students took out their pocket money and donated more than 50 yuan. Others took out new cotton-padded clothes and gave them to friends in the mountains.
Summary of the activities of the Young Pioneers Squadron in primary schools: the squadron in the year of 8 x (1) is a relatively United and progressive team; This is a dynamic squadron. Over the past year, our squadron has actively carried out various squadron activities under the strong support and correct leadership of superior leaders. Through activities and the implementation of quality education, students' thoughts are more active, their actions are more active, their studies are more serious, and their forms are diverse and their contents are rich.
First, do a good job in students' ideological work.
Since I took over this squadron, I have conducted an in-depth and detailed investigation of the players. According to the ideological and moral situation and academic performance, I divided the students into three categories: top students, average students and underachievers, and determined the specific goals of each team member. In particular, explain the purpose of underachievers, often talk with them, get to know them, coach them, let them eliminate their worries, actively cooperate, and strive to catch up with advanced students as soon as possible. All along, I have kept close contact with my parents, making constant telephone contact and home visits to promote the formation of students' good behavior. Home visits are also conducted to let parents know about their children.
Second, give full play to the backbone role of the class team.
At the beginning of the semester, I made corresponding adjustments to the original class cadres, encouraged students to work boldly, asked the class cadres to divide their work carefully and cooperate closely, and boldly employed some naughty but diligent boys as general managers of cleaning or other labor, such as Deng, Fu Haitao and Wu Weizhong, which made these players proud. On the other hand, let the class cadres do it and cultivate their working ability. In study, they also trained a group of outstanding student cadres, such as Zhou Peiying, Xue Jing, Zhou Yonglong, Zeng Pengcheng and Liu Sihao. In this way, after a period of hard work, the working ability and prestige of class cadres have been improved, and the students' consciousness has also been improved.
Third, actively participate in various activities.
Activities are the most effective carrier to cultivate students' quality and enhance class cohesion, and the best soil to cultivate excellent seeds. Therefore, our squadron is encouraged to actively participate in various activities organized by the school.
1, make full use of the class meeting, solve various problems in the class, and let the students speak freely. Moreover, I implement clear rewards and punishments. I will praise and insist on the good ones, and I will propose corrections for the bad ones, so that students can correct them slowly.
2. Actively participate in the gratitude education advocated by the school. "Gratitude education" has become the theme of the squadron's activities this semester. Our squadron also launched a grateful activity for parents and learned to sing a grateful song-"Grateful Heart". We integrate gratitude education into our daily teaching activities, so that young pioneers can understand that a grateful teacher should carefully write every assignment and listen attentively to the students' speeches. Grateful to the society is to be a civilized and polite person who abides by social morality. Thanksgiving school makes every corner of the campus cleaner and more beautiful. Be grateful to your parents and don't let them worry about your study. In a series of gratitude activities, children learned that to learn to be grateful, they should use practical actions to be grateful. Grateful action is to start from every little thing around us and cherish everything that life has given us.
3. Advocate active participation in various activities organized by the school. This semester has given students a good opportunity to exercise, not only exercising but also showing their talents. Such as: speaking under the national flag, let students exercise their courage and cultivate their oral expression ability; Safety knowledge contest to let students know more about safety issues; Bookmark design contest about saving food, let students spread their imagination wings and learn that every grain is hard; Fun sports meeting, let students enhance team consciousness and so on. Although my squadron failed to achieve ideal results in these activities (this has something to do with my management! ), I will find out the shortcomings, correct the bad ones, and strive for better results in the next project.
Fourth, always plan and summarize. In the past semester, in addition to the semester planning and summary, I also made a weekly plan, and each activity has an activity plan and an activity summary. Establish the goals of each stage, analyze the situation in time and sum up experience.
Through the above work, I know there are still many shortcomings in my work experience, but I will correct them in practice. In the following time, I will no longer make excuses for being a novice, but undertake these tasks with enthusiasm and enthusiasm, reflect on my work and strive for greater progress.

The current work is summarized as follows:
First, give full play to the backbone role of the class team.
At the beginning of the semester, under the arrangement of squadron instructors and teachers, we formulated the Detailed Rules of The monitor on duty and the task schedule of squadron members. In addition, the class and team are required to have a fine division of labor and cooperate closely. Through the rational use of class cadres, our squadron's sense of collective honor has been greatly enhanced, and all the team members have the same goal, and they have expressed their desire to win glory for the class. In addition, through the training of class teams, a number of outstanding student cadres have also been trained.
2. Carry out various activities.
Activities are the most effective carrier to cultivate students' quality and enhance class cohesion, and the best soil to cultivate excellent seeds.

Organize team members to seriously study the primary code, primary school students' daily code of conduct and team rules, use them to restrain young pioneers, cultivate their excellent style of honesty, courage, liveliness and unity, and establish a sense of obeying the rules and laws.
Third, the bridge between home and school.
Family education and school education complement each other and promote each other. There are various reasons for students' problems. In order to educate students well, we must communicate with parents well. As long as students have some serious problems and bad ideas, we will communicate with parents in various ways. We have conducted telephone visits, visits and home visits with some parents of students for many times.
Through this work, our xx(7) squadron has achieved good results in all aspects of its work, and its members have been exercised to varying degrees. But these achievements are not enough. We will definitely work harder and strive for greater achievements.
