There is a cylinder in the kindergarten classroom. How to create an environment?

Someone once asked a Nobel Prize winner: "Which university and which laboratory did you learn what you think is the most important thing?" The Nobel Prize winner replied: "In kindergarten. "What did you learn in kindergarten?" He replied: "Give half of your things to your friends. Don't take things that are not yours; put things neatly; wash your hands before eating; apologize if you do something wrong; be careful Observe the nature around you. Basically, this is what I learned." This scholar's words illustrate a truth: good living habits need to be developed from an early age, and good habits will affect a person's life. Therefore, starting from small classes, we focus on creating a good living environment and promoting the development of good living habits in children.

1. Provide children with a safe and warm living environment

Children in small classes are young, and the corresponding environment must be safe and meet their own needs. Therefore, we create the corresponding physical environment. For example, we have posted safety signs next to all power sockets in the class to remind children to pay attention to safety at all times. We have divided waiting areas in drinking water and washing areas and equipped them with corresponding signs. Place large and small signs on the floor of the bathroom to remind children to line up in order when using the toilet and washing hands to avoid crowding.

Children in small classes are young and relatively attached to their families and parents. Taking into account the psychological needs of young children, we should try our best to create a warm and home-like living environment for them. For example, in the nap environment, we pasted cartoon patterns of stars and moons on the curtains around the classroom. During nap time, the curtains were slowly lowered and soft and soothing lullabies were played. The music gradually becomes softer and the children gradually fall asleep. In this way, it not only gives the child a warm and comfortable environment, but also gives the child a visual and auditory reminder, letting the child know that he should move gently during nap, get into bed before the music ends, etc.

2. Create a clever living environment for children

The environment is a talking teacher. Preschool teachers should make clever use of educational elements in the environment to promote the cultivation of children's living habits. For example, post a set of hand-washing pictures on the small mirror in the bathroom. When washing hands, children will naturally look at the pictures and follow the steps on the pictures.

The eating habits of small class children are very important. How to cleverly use the environment to promote children's eating habits has become the focus of our thinking this semester.

(1) Encourage young children to develop good dining habits

We pasted a set of pictures of good dining habits "Have you done it?" beside the restaurant. Young children like the little people in the pictures very much, and often recite the matching children's songs and imitate the actions in the pictures. Slowly, young children learn how to use tableware correctly.

We focus on encouragement and set up an encouragement wall with the words "I have made progress". Each petal on the wall has a photo of a child, as well as signs such as "Clean" and "Quiet". , children can choose corresponding stickers based on their meal performance.

(2) Pay attention to the cultivation of details of living habits

From the beginning of the small class, we pay attention to the cultivation of details of children's behavior. After children have a meal, we usually make such requests: please gently send the bowl and spoon back; please bend down to rinse your mouth; wipe your little face; remember to put the used towels neatly and send them home. That’s why we created the “Charm in the Details” wall. Use photos of young children’s companions to give them the best image examples. Every time they see the photos, children will think about whether they noticed these details. Children in small classes are young and their movements are not yet fully developed. They often cannot wipe their faces cleanly when wiping their faces. We use "look in the small mirror" to cleverly remind children to see if they have wiped their faces clean after wiping them. Driven by the environment and peers, children's living habits are getting better and better.

(3) Pay attention to the individual differences of children

After a period of observation, I found that many children in the class have the habit of picky eating and partial eclipse, especially they do not like to eat green vegetables. . Therefore, I made a big-mouthed smiling doll who "loves to eat everything" and a big-mouthed crying doll, and posted daily recipes in the big mouth of the smiling doll. Those picky eaters really hope that their photos can "fly" to smiling faces and join the ranks of their peers. Big-mouthed smiling dolls have become the best way to motivate.

Children in small classes have shorter attention spans. During meals, some children often leave their seats.

For this reason, I put a sign of love on their seats and told them to be good friends with the little chair, otherwise the love will not be good friends with them. After a period of practice, we found that the little love chair really motivated some children, prompting them to sit in their own little chairs and finish their meals.

3. Create a good environment for young children in daily activities

For young children, the cultivation of living habits should permeate every aspect of daily activities. We cleverly took advantage of the time difference between children finishing their meals during lunch and put in some game materials that are helpful for self-care ability. For example, feeding the doll, clipping clips, buttoning, etc. This not only ensures safety and orderliness after meals, but also develops children's hands-on ability.

In kindergarten, the most frequent interaction is with peers. Therefore, in daily life, we guide children with weak hygiene habits to play games with children with better hygiene habits, and use the mutual influence of peers to gradually develop good hygiene habits. For children who have made progress, we give rewards, such as kissing their little faces, giving red five stars, and allowing more children who have made progress to be helpers.

In addition to creating a physical environment, teachers can also skillfully use language, actions and other methods to create a good psychological environment to promote the development of good habits in children. For example, when cultivating children's hand-washing habit, we participate in the process of washing children's hands and wash their hands while chanting children's songs: "Rub the palms of your hands, rub the backs of your hands, rub the gaps between your fingers, one, two, three, shake your little hands dry." "Finally, ask the children to find a small hand towel to dry their hands. Through figurative language and actions, young children quickly master the method of washing hands.

In short, we strive to put protecting the lives of children and promoting their health at the top of our work, respecting the personality of children in education, respecting the wishes and needs of children, and respecting the dominant position of children in activities. , create a warm, safe and interactive living environment for them.
