September 3, 2018 is the official opening day of Qingdao Experimental School, and the Little Conch Class also welcomes its little master. Although it is still raining outside the school, the classroom is full of laughter and warmth.
I have always liked this photo and cherished it. This is the first day of school, and teachers greet children with distinctive class brands in the North Hall. On the eve of school, they repeatedly looked through the one-inch photos handed in by the children, especially hoping to name them at first sight. This is the first time I have seen a child in Hong En. I recognized him at a glance and said happily, "Hello, Hong En!" He asked in surprise, "Teacher, how do you know my name?" I smiled and said nothing, dear child, I don't know how long it took me to see the photos before I saw you! Thanks to the photography teachers for recording this rare and precious scene. Who would have thought that there would be so many wonderful and touching stories between us in the future, and so many warm families would get together because of this class, leaving such important traces in their respective life trajectories. I still remember that when I first met Xiuqi, he was shy, holding his mother's hand with a shy smile on his face. I still remember the children in Yun Yun looking at me with big talking eyes, motionless. I still remember that little cute Sheng Han eagerly told me that he saw our WeChat avatar and our faces, and his smiling eyes were bent into two cute little crescent moons ... So, from that day on, we entered.
In the first lesson, we explained to you the origin of class names. This is also the first time that teachers and students have read the picture book "The Great Whale and the Little Conch" together. Just like the protagonist in the story, you are full of hope, curiosity, strength and wisdom, and you are about to start a brand-new journey. No matter how thrilling and dangerous the process is, it will be an unforgettable memory as long as we trust each other, accompany each other attentively and show the courage and strength to meet the challenge.
Create a classroom that is not afraid of making mistakes
We marched triumphantly all the way, and the road was tortuous. Facing the rough sea and crocodile with sneering fangs, the little hero still sits firmly on the whale's tail and bravely faces all kinds of sudden difficulties. Looking back on the past year, we all encountered various problems and challenges. Children have just entered the school, facing strange environment, strange teachers and classmates, all kinds of problems broke out in the first semester of grade one, and various small contradictions among children could not adapt to the class time, and children could not control their emotions well when facing difficulties. At that time, the running-in between teachers and students was slow but impressive. In the face of children's temporary minor problems, as teachers, we should also take immediate action to solve the problems, whether it is consulting relevant educational books or consulting more experienced senior teachers, or communicating with parents. We just want to do our best to help children. It is in this seemingly "painful" time that we gradually determined our own classroom culture. We hope to create a relaxed but orderly classroom environment for children and create a "classroom that is not afraid of mistakes". Freedom and rules are never antagonistic. Teacher Gao has always stressed to us that we should treat children with a "gentle and firm" attitude and combine kindness and firmness on the basis of mutual respect and cooperation. If this is the cornerstone, children will play their different characteristics and personalities on the basis of self-control and management.
Good habits are more important.
Learning has never been so easy. In primary school, especially in grade one or two, it is particularly important to develop good study and living habits. In order to make children feel the power of persistence, we have carried out two reading and punching activities this school year. It was called "the voice of spring" for the first time. We have prepared 30 children's songs, including animal children's songs, ancient prose of the Republic of China, traditional festivals and so on. And ask the children to read and punch in every day. After uploading audio, the works on children's audio home page are more and more abundant. After a period of time, especially in the reading and questioning sessions in class, it is suddenly found that some children's literacy has suddenly improved, and they can successfully and fluently complete the reading task unconsciously. After that, we held a small award ceremony to honor the best children who persisted in the class. I still remember one morning, Chen Yu excitedly came to tell me that his audio had accumulated to 80 songs. Looking at his smile, my heart is full of joy, and the children have been able to get a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from it, and smile at each other with Mr. Wu. Everything is worth it. Later, my parents sent a message, and my parents also felt it in their daily persistence. So, following the footsteps of summer, we have started a new round of "Summer Ancient Rhyme". Until today, there are children in the class who insist on punching as many as 190 cards every day. I think children will feel very proud and satisfied when they see the numbers they have created!
Breaking the news of the Summer Games
One day in May, the first grade fun sports meeting kicked off. 26 children stood neatly on the playground, ready to meet a big physical challenge. Whether it's a single jump or a double jump, the children are sincere, try their best and sweat. Our cheerleaders are noisy, too. The children clenched their fists and shouted the names of the participating students. They are flushed and even more nervous than when they take part in the competition. The competition on the 50-meter runway over there is more intense. We sent a small whirlwind to repair the team. As soon as the starting gun rang, they rushed out like an arrow and finally achieved the second good result in the group. In the final team competition, the ball was passed on the mat, and 26 children sat straight in a row, focusing on the same goal. The whole playground surged with basketball like a wheat wave, and the time spent in the end was much shorter than that in practice. The cheers of the children also pushed the atmosphere of the sports meeting to a climax. However, what I remember vividly about the whole sports meeting is that I have to mention our tug-of-war competition. Although the result was not so satisfactory, we lost the game, but at the end of that moment, I watched the children flushed and sweat seeped from their foreheads. Some children's eyes are full of tears, their hearts are tight and their eyes are red. Since they became teachers, they obviously feel that their tears are getting lower and lower, looking at the children's uncomfortable faces and lost eyes. After returning to the classroom, Yu Tong and Sheng Han cried, and the air pressure in the classroom was very low. At this time, Mr. Wu walked in the middle of the classroom and told the children with confidence that no matter what the result was, we persisted in the end, and even if every child was exhausted later, we didn't give up. This is the greatest victory. The children in the classroom gradually calmed down. We all accept the facts of failure, frustration and imperfection, and then we are ready to go back on the road. I know that after the tug-of-war incident, my children and I took another step forward, and they grew up unconsciously!
Imperfect but exhausted classroom performance
Many years later, children may forget some daily things that happened in class, but I believe every child will never forget the self who stood in the center of the stage and finished the class performance on May 24th. This is the charm of the stage, this is the magic of the celebration. In order to be a better self on the stage. "Three Sentences and a Half" brought by Schengen, Yibo, Le Jia and Hong En is humorous. I watched the children's performance in the first rehearsal and marveled at how they recited so many sentences. The four young gentlemen on the stage wore suits and ties, and their gestures were natural and generous. Rhythmic sentences make the audience bow and scrape. Feng Yu and Chen Yu incarnate in a tacit combination, bringing Li Yugang's classic song "Just to Meet You", a steady catwalk and a loud and beautiful singing voice, and instantly turning into a campus singer. Rhyme, music, rain and rhyme, the four little swans in our class brought the traditional classic song and dance "Saint Amethyst". Looking at the children's uniform movements, they must have made a lot of efforts at ordinary times. The cute song "Youth Practice Manual" hold the audience, and it is handy to sing, dance, perform and host. Mozi, Yuya, Yutong and Zitong bring the dynamic dance "Mimeow", and every class celebration is bound to bring surprises to the four young ladies. Cinderella, the annual drama of the class, is also the most painstaking program. All the members participated in it, and four scenes were rehearsed repeatedly. Every little actor's lines have been carefully polished and seamlessly connected with narration, PPT and music. Although there were still various minor problems in the end, each of us tried our best to have no regrets. Yumo brought the solo "Once in a Thousand Years", all the girls brought the dance "The Most Beautiful Light", and the boys sang "Against the War". Everyone is radiant. When the spotlight hit you, we stood on the stage and were filled with emotion. All the previous efforts were worthwhile. Every performance of the children has witnessed their growth, and I believe they will be braver and go further in the future.
Parents' classroom
This semester, Little Conch invited Hong En's father, Zixuan's mother and Yibo's father to give you a wonderful and unforgettable course experience.
Hong En's father gave the children a wonderful piano lesson. In the class, the children got to know the staff, learned to sing beautiful children's songs "Insect Flying" and "Little Star", and specially brought their own electronic organ. Melodious music flowed from his fingertips, and beautiful melodies surrounded the whole classroom. Happy music lessons let children feel the beauty of music wholeheartedly and sow the seeds of beauty in young hearts.
As a nutritionist, Zi Xuan's mother brought us a course on "Nutrition and Health". At the beginning of the course, she explained the meaning of smiling life to the children, told the growing students to get enough sleep every day, and carefully listed many things that children should or should not eat less.
Yibo's father wore a handsome captain's uniform and "four bars" epaulettes, and carefully prepared an aviation knowledge class for the little conchs. Yibo's father introduced the evolution and classification of aircraft, and also showed the children the engine room of the aircraft he was flying. When he saw the photo, the children were surprised and laughed again and again.
Let parents with different occupations and experiences give full play to their professional advantages and hobbies, enter the campus, enter the classroom and approach students, which enriches students' extracurricular knowledge, narrows the distance between home and school, and plays a positive role in promoting students' healthy growth.
Study tour in zoo
After hearing that the zoo trip with the theme of "interesting animal world" will be held, the little conchs have been in a state of excitement, because this is the first time for most of them to travel alone without their parents. For this trip, the children are full of yearning and have made full preparations for this trip.
In spring and March, the wind is warm and the rain is warm. The little conchs started their first learning trip in primary school with expectation and excitement. After an hour and a half's drive, the children finally arrived at the long-awaited Qingdao Forest Wildlife Park. Under the guidance of the tour guide, the children passed the parrot paradise, the Africa Pavilion and the beast-crossing area, and saw dozens of animals such as sika deer, camels, elephants, lions and tigers. Get to know these animals when you visit them. Combined with the previously learned English picture book "Monkey" in the car, children can excitedly shout out their English names when they see these animals. During the whole study tour, the children raised many questions, and the tour guide answered them patiently. ?
In this study tour, the children learned how to plan activities in advance, learn knowledge outside the classroom, and share food with friends at lunch, which is full of harvest.
English: Let Chinese characters come alive.
? In the next semester, the Ministry will further strengthen the teaching of literacy and writing. Compared with the first volume of senior one, it puts forward higher requirements in gradient and level. The number of Sihui characters has changed from 100 to 200, and the literacy has also greatly increased. In this case, this semester we should not only improve children's learning efficiency and ensure the quality of writing, but also improve their interest in learning Chinese characters so as not to get tired of writing.
From the first semester, our literacy and writing teaching contents mainly include the following ways:
1, focus on literacy. There is a special writing class every week.
2. Read after the text. Children's songs in the topic, picture books, texts and poems in teaching materials will enable children to learn Chinese characters in specific and rich contexts.
3. Word formation is regular. Starting with the structure of Chinese characters, such as pictophonetic characters, knowing characters, etc., it is more common to add and subtract one in learning Chinese characters this semester. These methods are designed to fully tap the charm of Chinese characters and stimulate children's interest.
4. Learn to read. For example, words in Yun Ge, Song of Surnames and The Beginning of Life are catchy to read, which is also a good opportunity to concentrate on learning Chinese characters.
5. Quality of life. We stick the corresponding Chinese characters on the objects in the classroom, break through the literacy of the teaching materials, and encourage children to find and find Chinese characters from their lives.
6. Fun literacy. Riddles, crossword puzzles, game reading interests.
The school has always encouraged us to have our own classrooms, create our own classrooms, innovate, question and take risks. Let's start with writing, create fairy tales, make the classroom cool horizontally and vertically, put pen to paper bit by bit, and let the laughter last forever.
Mathematics: diversified teaching
According to the characteristics of children's age, the lower grades of primary school pursue the fun of the classroom. In order to attract children's attention, we try to add math picture books, math stories, game activities, cute homework and other ways in daily teaching, so that children can play in school and middle school, and let them understand that there is math everywhere in life.
1, read the picture book together
In class, we read the math picture book Classified Diseases together to learn classification knowledge, learn orientation through the picture book Happy Days of a Hammer and an Egg, let children learn how to compare length, height, weight and quantity, and let children better understand the meaning of addition through the picture book A Pig and a Pig.
2. play math games.
In the first semester of senior one, we played "Little Frog Jumping Grid" in class and got to know the number axis. Play "addition and subtraction game" and practice oral calculation of addition and subtraction within 10; Play "modeling", learn three-dimensional graphics and cultivate a sense of three-dimensional space. In the first semester of high school, the little conchs "made a height wall" and "measured our classroom", which deepened their understanding of centimeters and meters.
3. Interesting math story
Little Conch especially likes to ask Mr. Wu to tell stories. By making up mathematical stories such as "Little monkey eats peaches", "Little farmer works" and "Little bear steals honey", or extracting available mathematical stories from a series of mathematical stories, children can think about mathematical problems in interesting or thrilling stories.
Step 4 assign lovely homework
Making digital books, making clocks and watches, telling stories with formulas, shopping in supermarkets and drawing "My Zoo" with graphics can all improve children's enthusiasm for learning mathematics by letting them finish "lovely homework".
Learning can't be boring and there is no entertainment. Only when junior students study in activities they are interested in can they be better and more acceptable, and they can learn and understand knowledge more easily. Adopting diversified teaching methods can keep small shells happy in school life.
During the voyage of the small sea snail, we saw endless scenery and encountered grounding events. In times of crisis, we need to try our best to save ourselves, and at the same time we have the help of a pair of warm big hands to help us get out of danger safely.
Thanks to the powerful school for providing us with various resources, let us complete our own ideas;
Thank you for your guidance and help in class management, education and teaching, and for helping us solve problems again and again when we are at a loss.
Thanks to the colleagues who fought side by side in the first grade for their help in the course and life;
Thanks to the parents of Little Conch Class for their understanding and support of the class work.
The first grade has quietly come to an end, and the second grade is about to start a new journey. After a summer's rest, the little conch will sit on the tip of the big whale's tail and sing in unison to sail again!
