Reflection on the activity:

The word "gratitude" is unfamiliar to children in small classes. It can be said that it is a word that they have never seen in their memory, and of course they have no idea what it means. Therefore, at the beginning of this activity, the children in this class were confused. So the first activity we organized was to introduce the origin of Thanksgiving to young children and let them know the meaning of "gratitude". At the same time, through the plot of the story, the melody and lyrics of the song, children can develop a "heart of gratitude" in their hearts, learn to feel their parents' hardships, appreciate their parents' love, and try to care for and respect their elders. During the entire activity, we made gratitude cards with our children. We used paintbrushes to draw what we wanted to do for our parents. With the help of the teacher, we wrote down what we wanted to say to our parents. We also recorded a blessing together. Video allows children to personally participate in gratitude activities. Finally, on Thanksgiving Day, give the surprises you prepared to your parents to let your children know what gratitude is like and what gratitude is like!

The day after the event, many children came to me and told me, "My parents were very happy yesterday, and I was very happy too." "My parents said they loved me very much, and I told my parents that I was very happy too." Love them." "I even kissed my grandpa! Grandpa took care of me very hard." "I told grandma that when I grow up, I will buy a lot of delicious food for grandma."... Each of these childish words is warm. my heart! Children are so innocent and their hearts are so bright! Maybe they still don't understand so much about "gratitude", but the seeds of gratitude have been planted, and I believe they will slowly sprout and grow vigorously!

Through this event, I feel that making good use of some festivals to carry out educational activities can get twice the result with half the effort. Nowadays, most of them are only children. Since they are the "only" ones in the family, they inevitably have some bad habits. It is not enough to rely only on daily teaching activities or the teacher's verbal instructions to implement education, and the educational efficiency is not necessarily high, so combined with If it is held on a good festival, the educational benefits will be greatly improved.

As a teacher, you must fully consider the methods and methods to be used to achieve the best results. At the same time, through each activity, you must further learn and improve your professional level!
