Reggio believes that the environment is a "container that can support society, exploration and learning". Obviously, some people think that the influence of environment as an educational resource on children is hidden, and this view is one-sided. The reason for saying this is also based on the increasingly perfect and detailed scope of environmental construction (referring to indoor and outdoor environment and corner environment); Content (referring to the performance of microenvironment content) is increasingly rich; Objects (builders of the environment, including children and teachers) are becoming more and more equal. For various reasons, the spirit of the new Outline leads us to rethink, examine, reposition and change.

First, talk about the creation of theme environment from the perspective of art field, reflecting beauty.

The overall goal of artistic activities is to guide children to discover beauty, stimulate children to express beauty, create beauty and improve their aesthetic ability. Here, finding beauty is the key, expressing beauty is the foundation, and creating beauty is the promotion. The children in the big class have some experience in feeling beauty and have a unique judgment on beauty. Sometimes, adults think that beautiful things are not recognized in children's hearts (which is related to children's understanding and development ability). Therefore, it can only be based on respecting children.

Overall coordination, zero without chaos.

In the colorful world of theme activities, children show all kinds of observed leaves through paintings, and then scramble to hang their beautiful paintings. The teacher also helped with the posting work, and finally almost all the children's paintings were posted on the wall. What if dozens of pictures are hung on the wall? The result can be imagined. After a few days, most of the children's paintings were gone. In view of this phenomenon, we need to reflect: the concept of facing the whole is good, but we should pay attention to the way; It is negative to take down the pictures that children think are good at will, and how much negative stimulation this move has on children; Can you show your child's grades in the most appropriate way? I thought: of course! Just like the simplest production, dress up a big tree, let the children cut their own leaves and stick them on the tree, and use what they want to say. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? Not only looks good, but also satisfies children's desire for expression.

4. Focus on the whole, emphasizing "blank space"

After comprehensive coordination, it is necessary to show the works recognized by children's aesthetics as a whole. In the whole layout, we should take into account that children are developing individuals, and their experience can continue to be shown in future activities, and their performance can be improved through the internalization of children, which has a certain universality. So we put forward "blank space". The function of "blank space" is to provide children with a higher level of space to display internalized works. For the external image design of "blank space", we can completely let go, let the children freely choose the right block and reserve it with their own aesthetics. There is also a contrast before and after this, which has different promotion effects on different individuals.

3. Pay attention to continuity and generate expectations.

There is not much continuity between the contents of some themes, which leads to children rarely turning back to pay attention to the previous theme after creating a theme, and the previous theme naturally becomes a "decoration". How to continue to play the role of the past tense theme? At the beginning, teachers can have a comprehensive grasp of the distribution of each topic with a purpose. In addition to the usual conscious guidance, he can skillfully design some small marks, such as number marks and symbol marks, write "1" on the first theme and mark it with arrows. Then children will involuntarily think of "2" and "3" ... and expect "2".

Second, talk about the creation of theme environment from a scientific point of view, and accumulate perceptual experience.

"Being interested in the phenomena around us, having curiosity and thirst for knowledge" is one of the goals in the field of science in the new syllabus. To achieve this goal, children should have rich perceptual experience. The accumulation of perceptual experience needs the stimulation of sensory organs to produce. Children should first be interested in the appearance of things, then have the desire to explore further, and finally turn it into an internal driving force, and then start the next cycle, that is, the external sensory stimulation->; Internal digestion and accumulation->; Motivation generation->; Further demand, so cycle, constantly thick. So, what kind of visual impression should we provide in the theme environment that can attract children's attention? Take "from head to toe" as an example to explain step by step.

The Foundation of Creation-Pay Attention to the Suitability of Stimulation

For young children, it is very tempting to explore the mysteries of their bodies and help them understand their bodies and satisfy their desires. They will never get tired of it. Therefore, choosing the right content has already passed their psychological threshold, laying the foundation for their active and willing participation and acquisition.

Conditions for creation-Pay attention to the breadth of stimulation

The breadth of stimulus means that the supply of stimulus must be rich. So that children can pay attention and think for a long time. After studying teeth, you can also study internal organs, internal organs, joints, and so on. Their discoveries will be more and more, their interest will be higher and higher, and their gains will be obvious.

3. The expression of creation-to ensure the display of excitement

Because there are parts of the human body that can be observed from the outside, and some parts that cannot be directly seen at a glance, the transmission of these knowledge can not be solved only by language description, and direct visual impact will be more effective.

Therefore, we use the theme platform to present more for children and help them understand better. For the performance after understanding, children will not only express it in words, but also express it with gestures. In fact, a production process is also a consolidation process of existing knowledge, so it is natural to ensure the display of consolidation results.

Third, talk about the creation of theme environment from the perspective of social field to enhance self-confidence.

Creating a theme environment, children are "indispensable". Without their creative wisdom, what can we show? Without their usual experience accumulation, how can there be creation? It is precisely because of their efforts and efforts that they have gained. For adults, the arduous journey is long, but if it is finally affirmed, that kind of mental shock can make him forget the hardships. Children have no psychological adjustment of adults, and rational use of positive reinforcement can have an immediate effect. When children's labor achievements are recognized, their self-confidence will be stable. We can feel from the following case-

After school, I didn't pay much attention to what Yu Heng and his mother were doing at the door. After waiting for a long time, I saw Yu Heng happily holding his mother's hand and walking towards the back wall. I followed him, and listen-

"Mom, I drew this. What do you think? "

"Very well! Tell mom what she drew? "

"The teacher asked us to draw happy things. Mom, look, this is me and dad fishing, and I feel very happy; This is a slide show; This is playing with a top; And ┄ ┄ "

"Oh-"

"Mom, the children all say that I paint very well, so the teacher put my painting here for them!"

Looking at Yuheng's confident expression and listening to the harmonious and happy communication between mother and son-yes, they are always full of confidence in themselves, and we can't deny their confidence. Of course, the establishment of self-confidence is not temporary, and proper praise can stimulate children's initiative. Please look at another case, which also happened to Heng, before the last case-

In the morning, we all have a talk time, usually around the change of the theme wall, pay close attention to the content of "blank space".

When I look at a pair of small hands held high, my eyes keep turning. When my eyes turned to Heng, his hands rested on his cheeks and his fingers tilted outward, which seemed to be an expression of disapproval. There are doubts and expectations in his eyes. I know he also wants to introduce his works, but he still has some concerns. "Yuheng, tell me about it. I know you must want to introduce it to the children." As soon as I finished, he carefully picked up his "baby" and walked to everyone. It was not very loud at the beginning of the introduction. I "whispered" a word in his ear, remained silent for a while, and then changed. He said: "There is a special place in my home, and there are many traps around the house. Yu Heng finished in one breath, and all the other children listened with relish. I praised him, told him to arrange the painting in a "blank place" and put forward further requirements for him, hoping that he would tell the children about his painting when he was free. He accepted it with a smile.

It is in this bit by bit affirmation that Yuheng gradually established his confidence through his favorite way. In future activities, he and some children are often seen "groping" in front of various topics.

To sum up, whether the environment can interact with children is the key in creating the theme environment. As a direct communication tool, language runs through the whole education process, and it is inseparable from language interaction in the fields of art, science and society. As "children's second language", the environment is obviously to provide a platform for children to speak. The creation of theme environment provides a broader communication space for children, which enables children to create beauty, gain knowledge, feel success, strengthen communication and promote their all-round development.

At the same time, we should be soberly aware that the environment is changing our lives, and we should re-evaluate the situation and adjust our inherent concepts correctly and timely to better serve education.
