The children at Waldorf Astoria Kindergarten in Oak Bay are undoubtedly so happy. Although they live in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, they have a winter solstice that combines the customs of the north and the south.
June 65438+February 65438+early morning of February 2020, Xiaozhuangzhuang got up early! The reason is that today is the winter solstice in kindergarten. After a quick wash and breakfast, we both went to kindergarten with ingredients. Routine epidemic detection will be carried out as soon as you enter the park. As soon as I looked up, I saw the words "winter solstice" written on the wall carefully arranged by the kindergarten teacher, and the breath of winter solstice came to my face. There is a sign at the door. As soon as I entered the door, a red sign-in book was prepared on the table. Zhuang Zhuang and I signed the autograph together, and the photography teacher captured our figure on the side.
Xiaozhuangzhuang can't wait to go to the classroom. There are already many parents and children in the classroom. Parents are chatting easily and children are playing happily. The atmosphere is warm and peaceful. Many children are wearing traditional clothes, especially Hanfu and Xiaoya Xiaojing, which are worn by several girls. They are as beautiful as a fairy, and my mother and I are envious. The two teachers, Xiaoya Xiaojing, probably came early, and the dough and jiaozi are all ready. When all the children and parents arrive, we will pack jiaozi together. Take medicine, roll dumpling wrappers, wrap jiaozi ... Everyone starts to laugh and laugh. Many parents in the south are wrapping jiaozi for the first time, and many steps are not very good. So they learn how to wrap dumpling wrappers and wrap jiaozi with parents who can wrap jiaozi, and study hard. Children are more willing to participate and study, and as a result, the clothes are covered with flour, and the wrapped jiaozi is more like a ball, and the stuffing is still exposed. But what does it matter? Everyone's face is full of bright smiles, really happy!
Jiaozi's bag will be finished soon. Under the guidance of the teacher, everyone went to the performance hall, watched the wonderful performances prepared by the members of the family Committee, and then went outside the kindergarten.
Outdoor activities are mainly two parts: making rice cakes and baking sweet potatoes. Stepping into the outdoor activity venue, a warm atmosphere came to my face. Here, I can't tell which is the parents and which is the child. There is a long queue at the place where rice cakes are made. Parents are more excited than their children. They actively participate in the activities of making rice cakes by themselves or with their children. On the site of baking sweet potatoes, the kindergarten has surrounded two stoves with red bricks and lit a bonfire. The wood was picked up by the children when they went hiking on weekdays and has been air-dried for a long time. By each stove, a parent is adding firewood to the stove from time to time. The top of the stove is baking rock sugar oranges, and the stove is stewing sweet potatoes. The hot air is everywhere, and there is a faint sweetness of oranges in the air. It is said that this kind of baked orange will produce saliva and moisten the throat, which has a very good effect on treating cough. Parents who have no turn are watching, discussing enthusiastically and chatting happily. Before long, the rice cake was made, the oranges were cooked and the sweet potatoes were baked black. Parents are excited to taste and recall their childhood. The children are running around the yard, playing, making noise and eating, their faces and hands are dark, so happy.
Before long, the children robbed the rice cakes, baked oranges and baked sweet potatoes. Everyone seems to be not full, and they want to eat more, and even feel more hungry because of the amount of activity. It doesn't matter, the teachers have already prepared the jiaozi that everyone just wrapped in the classroom, and the dishes brought by parents have been warmed up in the kindergarten canteen. Once again, we went back to the classroom for jiaozi and a banquet. Taste the special dishes brought by each family and eat the steaming jiaozi. The atmosphere is warm and the children are very happy.
Happy time is always so short, we are all full, and the children are going to go home with daffodil seeds sent by Santa Claus. When I walked to the door of the kindergarten, I saw many words "Fu" on the ground. The handwriting on them is wet and smells of ink. It turned out that director Chen invited the respected teacher Wei Qiqi to write the word [Fu] for everyone. Mr. Wei used to be the dean of Huainan National College of Chinese Xiaoyuan, and now he is the founder of Dukou College, leading the volunteer team to spread the wisdom of Chinese studies and filial piety culture all the year round. The teacher is 65 years old and still tough and smart! Every blessing is full of energy. Every blessing is full of energy. Every child and parent left the kindergarten with a word "Fu" from Mr. Wei, and also brought "Fu" back to their respective homes.
The first thing to do when you go home is to wash your hands and open the note in the narcissus seed bag sent by Santa Claus. Zhuang Zhuang and I finished reading the contents of the note, and then washed the daffodil seeds according to the contents of the note. Zhuang Zhuang put them in the pot of daffodils he just raised at home a few days ago, expecting them to grow and bloom.
Thank you, director Chen and the teachers of Waldorf Kindergarten for their careful preparation and arrangement, and thank the members of the family Committee for their hard work. Let our friends, big or small, have a very meaningful winter solstice. I believe that such traditional festival activities will nourish children's young hearts, give them nutrients for growth, and let them grow up healthily and happily.
