Mr. Chen Heqin mentioned that “the study of local folk customs and natural scenery is an indispensable and important material in teaching.”
Kindergartens should make full use of the surrounding local resources, carry out localized themed educational activities, move the surrounding natural resources and humanistic resources with a strong local flavor into the classroom, and integrate them into the nostalgic themed educational activities, in order to maximize the potential of children.
It allows them to learn in happiness, and also makes a positive contribution to optimizing the nostalgia-themed education in kindergarten and promoting the construction of kindergarten-based curriculum.
How to rely on local resources to effectively carry out love-hometown education for children?
Based on the physical and mental characteristics of the children, I established themes such as "Hometown Products", "Hometown Customs", "Traditional Games", and "Hometown Culture", and carried out a series of effective activities.
1. Collect local resources and engage in nostalgic activities. The mountains, rivers, vegetation, products and other resources in your hometown are excellent educational media.
I organize children to collect various local natural materials inside and outside the kindergarten, and use them to create an activity environment. I display the pictures, photos, paintings, tickets, attraction brochures, maps and other materials collected by the children in the form of theme walls to meet the needs of children.
, fully embodies the child-centered education concept, allows children to dialogue with local resources, and carries out related theme education.
For example: (1) Hometown scenery.
Carry out theme activities such as "Binhai-Yucang Mountain" around the relevant pictures and VCRs collected by children, so that children can know that Cangnan's "Binhai-Yucang Mountain" is a provincial-level scenic spot, divided into two parts: Binhai and Yucang Mountain.
It consists of five scenic spots including Yuliao, Yanting, Yulong Lake, Yucang Mountain, Juxi and Weibutou. There are also Shijutang Municipal Scenic Area and two county-level scenic spots, Yancangdong and Jingtou.
Through the language activity "Talk about Yucang Mountain", I cooperated with playing a relevant VCR for the children to enjoy, and let the children describe the beautiful scenery of Yucang Mountain in their own words.
These unique scenery inspire the children's inner feelings of beauty, and the children's language is very vivid and rich.
I also used art activities to draw "Beautiful Yulia Beach", allowing children to use the brush in their hands to depict the flat beach, soft sand, wide sea, gentle waves and clear water on the basis of full experience.
Happy and playful scene.
Nature not only broadens children's horizons, but also broadens their minds and hearts. While they understand and adapt to nature, it also cultivates their sentiments, cultivates their sense of beauty, enriches their imagination, and enables them to develop a love for nature and life.
of love.
(2) Hometown products.
Cangnan's geographical environment is very unique, with both mountains and the sea, so it is extremely rich in products, including countless delicacies and a wide variety of vegetables and fruits.
Based on the relevant materials collected by the children, I raised various marine animals in the animal corner for young children to observe, and carefully designed various scientific exploration activities, such as "Understanding the fish in my hometown", "Understanding the conches", "Hermit crabs and the tides"
"Crab", etc.; learn about kelp, seaweed, hijiki and other algae and marine plants, so that children can actively acquire relevant knowledge about various seafood through raising and exploring.
Carry out "Food Festival activities" to learn about hometown specialty snacks. Children can appreciate the infinite charm of rural food by looking, smelling and tasting it, and taste the strong "local flavor".
Through the "One-Day Picking Tour" activity, children can learn about various fruits in their hometown by looking at, picking, eating, and talking about them, and they can also appreciate the richness of their hometown's products.
The children completed a preliminary understanding of their hometown during the process of collecting information and participating in activities, and interacted, communicated and displayed during the process of environmental creation and theme activities, which enhanced their self-confidence, satisfied their curiosity, stimulated their awareness of participation, and also
Greatly stimulates the desire to explore.
In short, collecting local natural resources plays an irreplaceable role in improving the effectiveness of nostalgia theme activities.
2. Excavate local cultural resources and enrich the connotation of nostalgia-themed education. The content of nostalgia education is rich and colorful, and the humanistic style has special significance in the growth of children, especially in their spiritual growth.
Making full use of the natural and cultural landscapes rich in cultural heritage and educational significance in the hometown environment to carry out activities will enrich and deepen the educational content.
After repeated research, I divided the nostalgia education content into three major themes and implemented them step by step in a planned manner.
(1) Hometown customs.
Make full use of relevant information to introduce local customs and temple fair activities in Cangnan to children, so that children can understand the customs and habits of the coastal city.
For example, introduce to children the five-night watch on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in Pucheng, the customary duet singing of the She people, the lion dance performance on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, etc., so that the children can understand the spirit contained in the customs and activities: diligence, kindness, bravery, wisdom, and unity.
Upward wishes and good wishes for life, etc.
(2) Hometown celebrities.
By watching the video feature film "Anti-Japanese Stories", you can learn about the Ming Dynasty anti-Japanese relics, the national first-level cultural relics protection unit-Puzhuangsuo City, the Ming Dynasty anti-Japanese important town-Jinxiang Acropolis, and understand the city protection (barn city) and battlements,
Learn about the enemy tower, nest shop, Nanbao beacon pier and other buildings, and learn the relevant celebrity legends.
By organizing activities for children to visit the families of martyrs, heroes, border guards and martyrs' cemeteries, they can learn about how Cangnan was liberated and the deeds of some heroes, stimulate children's strong emotions towards them, and let children understand that today's happy life is based on their ancestors.
In exchange for their lives and blood, educate children to cherish everything they have now.
