As an important resource for kindergarten education, environmental creation has attracted more and more attention from preschool educators. Creating a good kindergarten for children has become one of the important contents of kindergarten teachers' work. So, how do kindergarten teachers create a valuable kindergarten environment for children? Next, I will list some tips for creating a kindergarten environment for you, so that preschool teachers can better arrange the kindergarten environment and promote healthier growth in the kindergarten!
1. Indoor environment design methods
1. The indoor wall decoration layout must be reasonable. Teachers must know what panels to design for each wall: For example, The main wall at the back of the classroom should highlight "theme interaction" because there is more content in "theme interaction". Other small walls can be designed with some regular interactive content. For example, columns such as "Good Child Chess", "One-day Activity Arrangement for Children", "Word Baby Paradise", etc. have a single theme and do not require much space.
2. Each section should be well-proportioned in size and well-proportioned to reflect aesthetic concepts: In the higher part, some works for children to appreciate can be placed. Such as "digital baby", "artwork", etc. Let children be educated subtly in visual appreciation. Some content that can interact with children or require children's hands-on operation can also be designed in the lower areas, such as columns such as "Little Weather Corner" and "Word Baby Paradise", so that children can gain knowledge and experience through interaction with the wall decorations.
3. The wall decoration layout should be vivid and aesthetic: The wall decoration layout should not only reflect the educational value, but also have aesthetic value. When we design the wall decoration background or pattern, it must be beautiful, interesting and attractive to children. For example, when decorating the themes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, first design different backgrounds, and then design the images of "Miss Spring", "Brother Xia", "Aunt Qiu" and "Grandpa Winter" to make the wall decorations beautiful and interesting. Full of temptation. The children especially liked it after seeing it. With their participation and appreciation every day, they completed beautiful seasonal pictures one after another.
4. Determine the theme and clarify the goal: The theme of the interactive wall decoration should be of interest to the children and suitable for the educational goals and content. With this in mind, when I establish theme wall decorations, sometimes I establish the theme based on seasonal changes, sometimes I establish the theme based on educational content, and sometimes I generate themes based on children's interests. I think that as a rural kindergarten, the teaching staff is weak, the experience of young children is lacking, and the abilities in all aspects are relatively poor. Therefore, when creating interactive wall decorations, we can focus on preparatory courses, and gradually enrich, develop and Improve educational content. For example: The "I have grown up" themed wall decoration in my class is based on the educational content of "I have grown up" in the textbook, and is designed to include "me as a child", "me now", "me in the future" Four small themes: "Myself" and "Changing Me". Through these small themes, the wall decorations, educational content and goals can interact with the children, which reflects the continuous development and deepening of the theme content as the learning activities unfold, so that the children can continue to actively gain useful experience.
5. Create situations and stimulate interest: When creating interactive wall decorations, sometimes the themes we choose are not in the interests and concerns of children. In order for wall decorations to interact with children and achieve educational purposes, we need to find ways to stimulate interest. For example: When designing the column "I've made progress", I first designed and made an image of a snail, and then said to the children: This is a cute snail. He is here to be friends with you. He is watching every day. You guys, whoever does well will be promoted, and whoever doesn't do well will be demoted. The one at the front can be the monitor for a week, and the children's interest is aroused. In the season-themed interactive wall decorations, I have a conversation activity with each change of content. For example, when setting up the theme of "Grandpa Winter is Coming", after designing the background, I imitated the old man's tone and recorded a paragraph: "Dear children, hello, I am Grandpa Winter; Aunt Qiu has left, and I will come to you." I also have some gifts for you..." Hearing the mysterious voice in the tape recorder, the children were immediately attracted.
6. Actively participate and be willing to do things: From determining the content, collecting materials, to designing and making patterns, teachers and students must work together. Think of collecting materials as a learning process. In line with the principle of letting children do what they can do, and letting children think about what they can think of, even if it is small things like applying glue, try to let children do it themselves, reflecting the participation of young children.
7. Step by step, difficult and appropriate: The content of wall layout should pay attention to the sequence of vertical and horizontal development. Respecting the age characteristics of children and meeting their development needs is a basic starting point. Wall decorations for small classes should have simple structures, bright colors, and obvious sensory stimulation; the items for them to operate should be single in shape. By the middle class, the children's perceptual and cognitive abilities have improved a step compared to the small class. At this time, the wall decorations can gradually add some more inspiring content.
For example: "The tadpole is looking for its mother." As the story goes on, the tadpole first grows two hind legs, then two front legs, and finally the tail is gone and black. The body was also put on green clothes, and the little tadpole finally turned into a little frog. This kind of more vivid wall decorations can stimulate children's interest in observation, inspire their thinking, and attract them to do hands-on operations. Compared with primary and secondary classes, children in the upper class can already initially distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, and begin to understand the cause-and-effect relationship between things. At this time, the ideological content contained in the wall decorations should be broader and deeper, and the operability should be stronger. .
For example: At the same time, the wall decoration layout for the "March 8th Festival" is different for small, medium and large classes. With the theme of "Mom loves me, I love mom", the small class exhibited photos of "Mom and I" and posted gifts for mom. The theme of the middle class is "Mom makes clothes for me, and I make handbags for my mother." The children put the various clothes they created and the various handbags they drew on the wall. The top class decorated the walls with the themes of "Mom's Day" and "Mom's Hard Work". Under the clock made of waste materials, the mother's hard-working life of going to work, doing housework, taking care of children, studying under the lamp, etc. is displayed.
8. Timely replacement to keep fresh: Kindergarten wall decoration is not only for beautification, but also because it must obey the needs of education. It is a form and means to achieve educational goals. It can induce , guide, and even directly determine the results of children's activities, transforming the educational theme into concrete, colorful, lively, interesting, and pleasing wall decorations, that is, teaching is embedded in the wall decorations, allowing the wall decorations to produce subtle educational and edifying effect.
For example, take the small class theme "Spring is here" as an example to decorate the wall. I first painted a large tree with many branches and few leaves on the wall and two kindergarten children wearing winter clothes. As the climate gradually warmed up, the children discovered that there were more leaves on the trees outside the garden, and the young buds grew into leaves. Under the tree The grass is getting greener and greener. So, the children put green clothes (leaves) on the big tree, and the children's winter clothes were also changed into sweaters. When the spring rain comes, the teacher encourages the children to observe the rain in the sky and the rain after it falls. The teacher also lets the children take turns holding umbrellas and wearing rain boots to feel the rain. After the children returned to the classroom, they covered the big tree with raindrops, puddles formed on the grass, and the two children also added umbrellas and rain boots... In spring, the branches sprout and the birds chirp; in summer, the trees are lush and full of leaves, and cicadas Singing; in autumn, the leaves are golden and the monkeys play; in winter, snow is heavy on the branches and the earth is white. By personally participating in the arrangement of wall decorations, children can feel the main changing characteristics of the four seasons from the changes of trees throughout the year, and stimulate their love for nature. This is far more emotional than learning a song, listening to a story, or painting a picture.
2. Design methods of thematic environment
9. Continuously update content according to seasonal changes: The four seasons continue to alternate throughout the year. People regard the changes in the four seasons as normal, but as a kindergarten teacher, you must Treat this ordinary natural phenomenon as extraordinary and often give it new content so that children can continuously acquire new knowledge through the constant changes in the indoor environment. The changes of seasons allow children to see the relationship between the growth of animals and plants and the seasons, and learn knowledge; the changes of seasonal colors meet the needs of children and stimulate their love for nature. Laying out walls according to seasonal changes also requires teachers to lead children in a series of educational activities.
For example: “Spring” is arranged on the wall, allowing children to understand the characteristics of the spring climate in common sense education activities. Willow trees are sprouting, peach trees and winter jasmine are full of small flowers, hibernating animals have awakened, swallows After returning from the south, tadpoles and small fish are swimming in the river. Spring is the planting season. In language education activities, children are told the stories of "The Peach Tree is Blossoming" and "The Little Tadpole Finds Its Mother", and the children are allowed to recite the poem "The Secret of Spring". In music education activities, let children sing "How beautiful spring is" and "Where is spring". In the painting education activities, let the children draw small flowers, grass, willow trees, peach trees, winter jasmine, small fish, tadpoles, etc., and use colored paper to fold small flowers, small grass, frogs, small fish, small swallows, etc. Based on this series of educational activities, the wall layout about "spring" will be carried out. The theme of "Spring" is relatively rich in content. According to the progress of the educational activities in the class, the wall decoration can be carried out in two or three times. First, select some content for the children to make and hang on the wall. Later, the content will be gradually added and continuously improved to a A large wall mural that fully depicts the characteristics of spring.
10. Arrange the environment according to the nature of the festival: Teachers should arrange the environment according to the nature of the festival to leave a deep impression on the children and enable them to receive education. "March 8th" International Women's Day, "May 1st" International Labor Day, "August 1st" Army Day, and "October 1st" National Day are all relatively solemn festivals, and they need to create a solemn and warm atmosphere. For example, on the National Day of National Day, you can make some national flags, five-legged flags, colorful flags, and paper flowers to decorate the environment. Teachers and children can draw Tiananmen together. The "June 1" International Children's Day is children's own holiday, and the "I am a little master" activity should be carried out according to the age of children. Under the guidance of teachers, children can put into play all the skills they have learned. They can make colorful flags, ribbons, paper flowers, window grilles, etc. to decorate the activity room. They can also make small gifts for teachers, little brothers and little sisters, and they can also give them to each other. .
The environmental cloth buttocks for New Year's Day and Spring Festival should reflect the festive and auspicious atmosphere of the festival. Red should be used more often to exaggerate the festive atmosphere of the festival. You can make garlands, colorful chains, colorful rings, colorful balls, lanterns, window decorations, paper flowers, etc. Small folk ornaments are used to decorate the activity room.
In addition to the above festivals, there are also Double Ninth Festival, Teachers’ Day, Bird Love Week, Teeth Love Day, Food Day, No Smoking Day, Transportation Day, etc. Teachers can combine these festivals according to the kindergarten and class Educate young children according to their actual situation.
11. Design the content of children’s social development: Children’s sociality means that children gradually acquire various social concepts, values, and behavioral norms of surrounding social life in the process of interaction with the social environment, and form The process of emotional relationships, stable behaviors, and mutual communication skills between people enables children to gradually adapt to society and become independent and qualified members of society. Due to the many adverse problems in the social development of contemporary children and the high demands placed on people's quality in future society, it is very important to cultivate children's social development.
The content of children’s social development includes nine aspects: compassion, responsibility, self-control, self-confidence, peer interaction, overcoming difficulties and setbacks, independence, persistence, and lively and cheerful personality. In addition to conducting specialized and random educational activities, teachers should also give full play to the educational role of the environment, which can be combined with theme activities, seasons, and festivals. For example, the theme activity of "How small animals survive the winter" can cultivate children's emotions of sympathy and love for small animals. "Bird Love Week" and "Mysterious Underwater World" can educate children to protect the environment. Protecting the environment is equal to protecting themselves, and cultivate children's love for animals. National Day decorations can cultivate children's love for the motherland.
Teachers can design content for children’s social development. Such as "I should do this", "I believe I can do it", "I can do this at home", "I have the responsibility to do this", "What should I do if I encounter difficulties", "Who is right and who is wrong", "Be happy Go to kindergarten", "I'm going to school".
To sum up, how to choose the content of environmental layout can be done by using seasons as a line throughout the year, interspersing the theme activities, festivals and social development content of each semester. This arrangement can change the once-for-all phenomenon of wall layout in the past, and also creates conditions for teachers and children to jointly decorate the environment.
3. Indoor environment layout method
