Life is a big classroom.

First, life is a big classroom.

In Montessori teaching, there is such an educational idea that life is education. So many activities in life can be included in Montessori class, such as opening and closing doors, twisting towels, putting on clothes and so on. The study of these contents enables children to master the most basic life skills, but it is far from enough to improve their actual life ability, and Montessori's daily life activities need to be expanded and extended.

For example, in the "Happy Friday" activity, each class carried out rich and interesting life practice activities according to the age characteristics of children. In the first class, fruit platter activities are carried out, so that children can make platters by themselves and invite younger siblings in small classes to taste the fruits in the class; The children in Class Two of Senior High School made their own "sugar triangle"; The children in the middle class did not show weakness, and began to pick up beautiful twists and wrap up "jiaozi"; The children in the small class are not idle, helping the aunt in the canteen to pick up leeks.

In the process of organizing these activities, we found that as long as we let go, children's enthusiasm and initiative will be high, and their sense of competition will be strong, for fear of falling behind. Therefore, we organized various small-scale competitions in time to see which bag has more jiaozi and which child has the most beautiful twist, which greatly stimulated the children's competitive consciousness and ability. We mobilized parents to participate, and some parents personally brought their children to the park to participate in activities. This effective interaction has greatly improved children's social life ability and self-confidence.

It is a headache for many parents to let their children sleep independently, which is also a sign to judge whether their children are independent. Teachers and parents discuss learning together and come up with many good methods, such as dividing the bed first and then dividing the room, arranging a room that children like, buying a toy that children like and setting an example. Through home cooperation, most children have begun to sleep independently, and brave and strong quality training is one of the indispensable conditions for forming competitiveness.

Let me do it myself!

Let me do it myself!

There is also an idea in Montessori's teaching, "Please help me and let me do it myself". By creating a prepared environment, teachers can let children freely choose their favorite jobs every day. Teachers can't interrupt and interfere with children's normal choices. If the child needs help, the teacher can give guidance, which is usually done by the child independently. Teachers' words and deeds are child-centered and respect children's ideas.

For example, when small class children started to operate independently, some children didn't know how to choose their own school tools, some children sat motionless on the Montessori line, some children were at a loss, and some pestered the teacher and asked, "Teacher, what should I do?" These phenomena are all manifestations of lack of self-awareness and autonomy. However, in this relaxed and free environment, children quickly learned to choose jobs according to their own wishes, gained self-awareness, and gradually learned to communicate and cooperate at work.

Of course, the free environment provided by teachers is limited, and children can only be truly free if they obey certain rules and order. For example, there is only one set of Montessori teaching AIDS, and children's choice will cause disputes. At this time, teachers should let children learn to wait patiently, learn to negotiate, learn to cooperate, etc., and enhance their self-control. These are all indispensable qualities for competitiveness.

In addition, the environment we provide for children is orderly, and every Montessori teaching aid is placed in a fixed position and marked. Children learn the good habit of putting things in order at work, and naturally they will consciously restrain their behavior and form the good habit of observing discipline, which is also one of the necessary conditions for gaining competitiveness.

Watch my new game.

Montessori teaching AIDS are not as rigid as people say, which limits children's creativity. Instead, it can stimulate children's creativity. When children are at work, we often encourage them to create their own ways of playing. For example, prepare a small clip for children and let them do the clip action. The teacher's demonstration was just two identical clips clamped to each other, but the children created many different ways of playing, and began to put small clips around the basket and told the teacher that he had made a beautiful flower basket. Tired of playing with the flower basket, another child clipped a car with a small clip; Then it is cut into hills, chickens and various figures, and the clips are classified according to figures and colors. These games may not have been thought of by the teacher.

Once a child creates a new game, the teacher will ask him to show it to other children and encourage the rest to continue to innovate boldly. In this way, the children's enthusiasm is very high, and some children even complain that the time is too short and they don't play enough. Free choice of teaching AIDS and free combination are children's favorite activities. In this activity, the children gained a lot. Montessori's activities are free, relaxed, natural, orderly, challenging, exploring and respecting, which creates a very good learning environment for children and is conducive to their all-round development.

Knowledge competitiveness

For children, competition is not only the competition of will, mental state and life, but also the competition of knowledge. The more knowledge children gain in kindergarten, the more confident they will be and the more competitive they will be.

In addition to the traditional provincial teaching, the teaching content of our garden has also arranged a wealth of Montessori courses, covering daily life, senses, mathematics, language and culture, science, culture and art, and rich and intuitive teaching AIDS provide very convenient conditions for children to learn. Children in Montessori class generally have competitive consciousness and independence, strong learning and acceptance ability, certain innovation ability, active thinking and rich knowledge.

Of course, in kindergarten, it is also very necessary to educate children about setbacks. In the competition, there is no ever-victorious general, and no one can win every time. In the future, we will take effective measures to cultivate children's frustration ability and enhance their good sense of competition.
