Most of the teachers in the new class greet the coming freshmen with tragic emotions. A young man said, "These are all for the first month of school." . Alas! Get ready for tears, runny nose and pulling.
There is a way to help us get familiar with children and reduce our worries, and that is a family visit.
It is a necessary job for teachers to visit freshmen's homes during the summer vacation. If we take our first home visit as an opportunity to know and understand him, then we will be more confident when we start school.
Since it is an opportunity, we must have a clear purpose in mind: to understand the most distinctive characteristics of children and attract them to like kindergartens.
So, we walked into the children's living space with sincerity. Generally speaking, by chatting with children and giving gifts, we can see children's different reactions to teachers, feel their family background and get a glimpse of their value orientation in family education. For more accurate memory and analysis, I always take a picture of my child in a natural state for record.
If walking around the house on a hot day is physical activity, then recording and analyzing children's initial behavior is mental activity.
After I came back, I not only bought a stack of small cards, but also wrote down my thoughts under his photo.
On the first day of school, the little camel came early. I quietly handed a stack of small cards: this is for kindergarten, you can only play in kindergarten, you can't take it home. He, uh-huh: Mom said it. While praising my mother as a primary school teacher, I challenge the potential of my children: if you can have fun with your friends, I will reward you with one. Really? ! After a while, I introduced some children who were not sad to the camel to play with. Watching the little guy actively plan, I feel comfortable at a glance! All this is in my plan.
Of course, we should pay more attention to those children who resist coming to the park. During home visits, we can basically judge that both coy and timid children may refuse to go to kindergarten, because coy means sticking to the family, and timidity means being afraid of new territory. Obviously, we can face these two types of children in a variety of ways. Stickiness, we often become the object that children can stick to by protecting everywhere; When we are frightened, we often become old friends that children can trust by getting familiar with each other.
Recently, I tried a new way to get to know children: WeChat. Oh! Very efficient. After the home visit, I wrote WeChat with my timid mother Sandy every day. The letter contained both my joy and my smiling face. When school started, I saw a familiar me in the new environment, and Sandy's face was no longer frightened.
Because we often have some attractive and beautiful agreements with our children during home visits, it is best to visit them near the beginning of school, otherwise the children will forget the teacher's face and remember the agreements. Generally speaking, a week's home visit before the start of school can keep children's memory and expectation of the teacher's commitment.
In addition to freshmen in the new class, there will be freshmen in the old class. When they grow up, transfer students lose a lot of attachment to their families, but because they look at the old classmates who are naturally integrated, they feel a little more lonely from outsiders. Therefore, the purpose of transfer students' home visits is to discover their own strengths, develop them at the beginning of school, help build confidence, and thus confidently and actively integrate into the class collective.
I found it so comfortable to wear colorful glasses to transfer students' homes! Because we will find that there is no child without advantages, and there is no child who is not cute.
I came to Yue Yue's house sweating profusely. After sitting down, Yue Yue poured water from a small cup and handed it carefully. I saw an enthusiastic child. Mom says Yue Yue is not good at math. As he retorted, he brought a stack of small books, one of which was 12. I saw a competitive and studious child. He mysteriously pulled me into his bedroom and pointed to a spider on the wall. This is my friend. I saw a child with a rich heart and imagination. (His mother shouted: Where did it come from? He said: Come every day. My mother was shocked and I smiled. ) What an honor!
This pleasant feeling lasted until Yue Yue came to the garden. I have no choice. Yue Yue successfully became a member of our class.
Of course, the interpretation of children during home visits will also encounter accidents. However, we can always get closer to our children in our hearts.
New always brings hope; Freshmen also give us a chance to be good teachers. Only in the face of opportunities, our careful analysis is better than blind worry, careful planning is better than panic, and joy is better than sadness.
All right! In the new semester, we welcome new students like this!
