this week, I read a picture story about making friends, The Rooster's New Neighbor. It tells about two small animals with completely opposite living habits. They both want to be good friends with their new neighbors and invite each other to their homes, but they haven't met for a long time and finally make friends in an interesting and ancient way. Build a deep friendship.
The interesting thing about the story is that two animals with completely different work and rest are drawn into the same plot. They are curious and eager for each other, but due to the limitation of objective conditions, they can't meet at the first time. If you don't meet a new neighbor, the rooster may not know that his enthusiasm for making friends can be ignited instantly, but who will refuse the pleasure and touch that friendship may bring?
in fact, this state of aiming at friends is very much like the children around us. On the one hand, they dare not be nice to strangers first, on the other hand, they want to make new friends and develop social behavior because of the need of social communication. The rooster walked up and down in front of the blue roof house, repeatedly designing various assumptions in his heart: "Hey, are you still sleeping?" Still going out? " "Is it too tired to get up from moving?" From these details, we can see the cock's expectation and enthusiasm, as well as his firm belief.
Maybe children have encountered similar problems. When you show great sincerity and sincere feelings, all problems will be solved. Even roosters and owls, a pair of creatures with great differences in personality and living habits, can use message boards to realize the continuation and warming up of friendship. How can a boat of friendship just turn over? So, no matter how different you and I look, it doesn't prevent us from being friends.
Fourth, the educational value
1. Combined with the current actual situation
Now the epidemic is at home, and children are not attending kindergarten, and they all miss kindergarten, teachers, their classmates and good friends very much. Through the recommendation of picture books, we can let children express what they want to say and the interesting things they want to share with their children by painting. Nowadays, people with developed electronic equipment often ignore the most sincere and ancient ways of transmission. Can we write and leave a message like the little cock in the story, so that children can feel different feelings about pictures and words, and look forward to the other party's reply and the content of the reply?
2. This book can lead me to scrutinize the concept of the alternation of day and night and time from reading stories and images, understand the living habits of roosters and owls, and guide parents to find different schedules with their children at home. What are them? And tell children that every animal and plant has its own life rules, and children also have their own life rules to follow. Insist on going to bed early and getting up early every day, and insist on taking a nap. You can communicate with children in home visits. Children can live the same routine as owls or roosters, and you can make a "XX Children's Life Table" with children.
3. In the picture book, the rooster waits for the arrival of the new neighbor, and gets up early. He dresses up, cooks food for the new neighbor, sets up the living room, and gets ready to wait for the arrival of the guests early. This hidden little detail also guides the children to entertain their good friends in their daily life, share their best things with their new neighbors, and show respect for the neighbors, which is also the experience intake for children to entertain their good friends.
4. Understand the cock's mood of "wanting to make new friends" from the picture book, cultivate a positive and optimistic partnership, and think about how to communicate with people who are different from themselves. Rooster and owl are two animals to perform stories. If they want to be friends, they need to overcome difficulties. This kind of frustrated design reflects the diversity of biology and is very wonderful. This can lead children to explore similar problems. The subtlety of interpersonal relationships. Close at hand, but far away, is a portrayal of modern people's survival. For example, "now every family lives in a building, and the children are shut at home, and there is a lack of full communication between children." This is certainly not conducive to children's needs for making friends. Taking cock as an example, the work shows the urgency and initiative of making friends. Only by active communication can we break the embarrassment of communication. Roosters and owls have done it, and we should be able to do it. In daily life, we should encourage introverted children to make friends actively.
5. This picture book also reminds me to reflect and learn from it. Clever communication, wonderful childlike innocence, plot design of making friends and detailed arrangement of rooster and owl waiting for each other all reflect wonderful childlike innocence and childlike interest. At the end of the work, the rooster gave the owl a pair of sunglasses, which made the day look like night, so that they could meet each other every day. This is also a naive and wonderful expression of children's hope for friendship.
6. At the beginning of school, you can also use this book for the theme of animals, or the theme of good friends in the middle class. You can tear up the image of a rooster or an owl in the art area; In the building, you can build a rooster and an owl's home, two houses with the same height, different shapes or different colors; In Flubel District, you can choose pictures of roosters waiting for new neighbors and put together all kinds of delicious food on the table. Put this book in the recommended classification of good friends with obvious book corner; Put headdresses and houses of roosters and owls in the performance area for children to perform; You can also have a picture book performance with children in the afternoon.
