the importance of creating a kindergarten class environment

The environment is an important educational resource, just like a teacher who can't speak. As a kind of "hidden curriculum", the creation of class environment in kindergarten has an educational function that cannot be underestimated in developing children's intelligence and promoting their personality development. Let's look at several key words: class environment creation, importance, developing intelligence, environmental awareness, and exploring interest.

Kindergarten environment refers to the sum of all the material and spiritual conditions that children in kindergartens must have for their physical and mental development. Children's growth can not be separated from the environment, and the influence of the environment on children's development is extremely far-reaching. There was an incisive exposition on this in ancient China. For example, "Those who are near Zhu Zhechi and Mexico are black" emphasizes the infectious effect of the environment on people. Another example is the story of "Meng Mu's Three Movements", which shows that we should pay attention to the choice of environment when cultivating talents. Yan Zhitui, an ancient educator, believed that the environment had a profound and lasting influence on children through subtle ways. Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, believes that human potential behavior is adaptability, and environment is one of the most important factors for children's development. Therefore, the environment plays an important and irreplaceable role in the development of children. Environment is not only the third teacher for children, but also an indispensable part of our teaching process. In the creation of class environment, we have the creation of theme environment and game area environment. The "Guidelines for Kindergarten Education" clearly requires that "kindergartens should provide healthy and rich living and activity environments for young children, meet their diverse development needs, and enable them to gain experiences beneficial to their physical and mental development in their happy childhood". It can be seen that in kindergarten, the environment is an important educational resource, and good environment creation and utilization can enable children to develop their abilities in all aspects in the interaction with the environment. All these fully illustrate the importance of environment, which, as a "hidden curriculum", plays an educational role that cannot be underestimated in developing children's intelligence and promoting their personality development.

first, the creation of environment can develop children's intelligence. Marx said: "man created the environment, and the environment also created man." Walls, activity areas, etc. are part of the environment in the course implementation. They record all kinds of courses that have been implemented and are being implemented in an intuitive way and materials, so that the courses are continuously extended. For example, let children discover problems in activities, and then solve problems, so that new problems arise from the solution of old problems. Therefore, the process of constantly creating and improving the environment is to continuously expand and extend the curriculum; For example, in the theme "Language of Nature" created by our class according to the teaching objectives, we have arranged a weather record table on the auxiliary wall, and children record the daily weather by watching the sky, so they have a question: "Why is it raining? How is the wind formed? " Wait a minute. Another example is that children and teachers work together to make a "travel map of water droplets". The images they draw are lovely, and they are deeply attracted by the theme. They are not only subtly educated and know the three-state changes of water, but also greatly improve their cognitive development and language ability and hands-on ability through their mutual communication. And the children fell into deep thinking. The children imagined the scene of water droplets becoming clouds, hugged each other and vividly simulated the phenomenon of water droplets becoming clouds. They also raised more questions about this. Children learn and explore in the interaction between environment and materials, thus stimulating their interest in learning and desire for knowledge.

second, the creation of environment can stimulate children's interest in exploration. Provide a large number of waste materials for children to operate, which stimulates children's desire for learning and hands-on desire. Various materials and tools suitable for children's development are arranged in the scientific exploration area, which can arouse children's curiosity and make them take the initiative to participate in interesting scientific exploration activities easily and happily. Magnifier, magnet, teacher-made balance and so on were placed in our class. There are also cards of various shapes for children to puzzle. In the art area, eggshells, pigments and discarded bottles and cans are provided to encourage children to interact with the environment, so as to gain rich direct experience, find the connection between things and have a strong interest in science. In short, let children feel the meaning and value of creation, so that they are willing to create and explore. It has enhanced children's desire to explore. In the future, whenever they encounter waste materials, children will say, let's make something and rack our brains. It not only exerts children's imagination, but also improves children's practical ability. In the corridor facing the sun in our class, there are some plants, such as sprouting potatoes, soybeans, rice, garlic, etc. The secrets of these natural corners often make children involuntarily discover, explore and find answers. Our class right suddenly said one day, sweet potatoes are moldy, why? He just wants to study it.

Third, the creation of environment can cultivate the spirit of young children's small masters. In the past, the kindergarten environment was generally provided by adults for children, and children were in a passive position, unable to participate in the environmental layout, which affected children's thinking and creativity. Therefore, today's kindergartens pay attention to providing excellent opportunities for children to gain new knowledge and experience and exercise their hands skills, which can also make children feel intimate and satisfied with their own hands-on and brain-arranged environment. Thus, the environment is more cherished, the sense of accomplishment is encouraged, and children are encouraged to fully interact with the environment. In particular, the activity area is designed and provided with operating materials, materials and tools that are suitable for children's age characteristics and educational curriculum requirements, which are convenient for children to take and put, and cultivate the good habit of putting them back after playing. Because children like to get involved in the environment and experience their own behavior process, we pay attention to the guidance of environmental design process when creating the environment, so that children can constantly exercise, grow their talents and play their main role in the creation of the environment. Children are the masters of the environment, and they design and create the environment of classes according to their own wishes and ideas, which is more meaningful for children. In the process of children's participation in layout, give full play to their main role. For example, with the help of the teacher, the children in our big class create the theme environment of Happy Home. The background is the earth, which means our happy home. Under the heated discussion of the children, it was decided to do it by drawing and cutting and pasting, and by the method of division of labor and cooperation. The children processed and pasted their own paper-folded frogs, their own painted and cut clouds, their own small houses, and their own self-portraits on the "earth". When the whole creation was completed, the children were very excited. This form of combining children's works to decorate the environment also makes every child feel the joy of success and the pleasure of cooperation. More importantly, I have a deeper understanding of the earth, love life more, and love my home. Through hands-on, brain-on, and personal participation in the educational process of environmental layout, children have gained new knowledge and experience, and their abilities have also been cultivated. And children also have a special affection and intimacy for their own environment, which will stimulate children to interact with the environment more fully. Experienced the joy of cooperation. In regional activities, we will find that children's communicative ability can be vividly expressed.

Fourth, environmental creation can guide children to have the awareness of environmental protection. In the environmental creation of each region, there are materials and works provided by children, which is an important way for them to participate in the creation of class environment, and it is also a very important and effective educational process to cultivate their environmental awareness of turning waste into treasure and not wasting any resources from an early age. In the process of creating the environment in each area of our class, children have collected all kinds of bottles, boxes, cans, straws, eggshells and other waste materials from home. With the help of the teacher's inspiration, the children made tall buildings and cars out of cartons. Materials are taken from the resources around them (mostly waste materials). Such education has taught children to be diligent and learn to cherish and use resources; It also allows children to learn to create, so that waste materials can play a greater role through their own creation. Children are really happy to decorate all areas of our class with these works, and they are more interested in collecting and looking for all kinds of waste materials. In the process of active investment and participation, children not only develop their imagination, creativity and hands-on ability, but also cultivate their awareness of environmental protection. When our class was collecting waste materials, the children went back and told their parents that our teacher wanted everything. Fengfeng saw these things and said, "garbage". Later, we made all kinds of toys with these "garbage", and so on. When the children saw it, the original garbage could become a treasure. For example, for all kinds of dishes and foods in Want Want Food, we use old bamboo sticks to string waste square paper together to make all kinds of kebabs, and simply decorate cans in the sports area to become stilts, and use waste newspapers to make paper balls. In the "living area", we use cardboard and ribbons to let children learn to wear shoes and tie shoelaces. In short, no matter which district we are in, we put in more or less waste materials, so that children can understand that "as long as you are willing, waste can also become treasure." In the activity, through observation and operation, children can understand the utilization value of waste materials and stimulate their creative desire and interest in activities.

fifth, improve children's feelings of beauty. Following the principle of creating kindergarten environment, children can participate in the arrangement of activities, and guide children to create different images according to their education and their own wishes. The fixed part is made by teachers. Therefore, on the outer wall of the classroom, our design theme is "Our Works". All the works are done by dolls themselves and then posted by them. The purpose of this is to give dolls an intuitive feeling, so that they can see their own and others' works at a glance, and then find the advantages of others through comparison and reference, make up for their own shortcomings, and learn to appreciate them unconsciously. It is important to learn to appreciate. Appreciating others can learn from others' strengths, and being appreciated will increase confidence and exert potential. We also hang children's paintings in the classroom. These designs and creations are not only aesthetic, but also contain knowledge, guiding children to appreciate the beauty of color and form, so that children can be improved naturally. It also allows parents to understand their children's situation more directly. Environment creation is a process in which teachers and children walk into the theme together, and discover, express and create beauty together in the theme. Enhance aesthetic feelings and make the environment a flowing landscape for children to actively express their personal aesthetic experience.

sixth, let children feel happy. In the column of Home and Garden, we inform parents of the weekly curriculum, and we convey the latest and best information about educating children to parents, so that we can communicate with them at the first time. Of course, there is also a weekly little star posting column in our class, so that parents and children can feel progress, success and pride. The children experienced the happiness of success in the process of creating a beautiful environment by themselves. This kind of happiness makes him more consciously care about the things around him and generate new expectations. These environments created around educational goals not only enable children to acquire relevant knowledge and cultivate good habits of loving nature and caring for the environment, but also strengthen the communication between children and enhance emotional communication. It also enhances parents' understanding of kindergarten teaching trends and plays an auxiliary role in the development of the theme. And let children deepen their impressions.
