Pay attention to children's development and prepare for school.

As a kindergarten attached to primary school, relying on the advantages of integrated management, our kindergarten and primary school set up a teaching and research group for children's convergence. Through effective management measures such as double teaching and research, double walking and double practice, the practical problems existing in the process of children's cohesion are deeply explored and reflected, and the curriculum of children's cohesion is established.

In order to slow down the slope of children's connection, we integrate the educational objectives and content requirements into the daily life and game activities of kindergartens, take the four preparations of body and mind, life, society and study as the starting point, and use regional and outdoor activities to carry out the exploration, experience and practice activities with children as the main body purposefully and planned to help children realize the effective connection of psychology, habits, skills and knowledge.

A healthy body and mind helps communication.

School preparation education is a step-by-step process, and we always take promoting children's physical and mental health as the focus of our work, which runs through the education of children of all ages.

After entering primary school, children should actively face the changes in the environment, be willing to make new friends and be mentally prepared. We break the class boundaries and organize mixed-age activities in an orderly manner by carrying out integrated activities in the form of classes, grades and the whole park. In the "big classroom" of the multi-function hall, children read and discover together with their friends in the parallel class; In the "Reading Club" and "Enjoy Games Day", children play games with friends from different classes and meet new friends and teachers through exploration and discovery. Teachers lead children into children's libraries, community supermarkets and other places, make full use of community resources, establish effective cooperation mechanisms, and deepen children's understanding of themselves, others and society. Kindergarten breaks the traditional mode of upgrading from small class to middle class and from middle class to large class, and tries a new form of independent course selection. Under the witness of parents, children can choose their favorite classes and teachers through early knowledge, understanding and experience, which not only relieves the anxiety of children and parents, but also cultivates the ability of children to adapt to the new environment and lays the foundation for children to enter primary school.

One day's life is skillfully linked together.

Education is the cultivation of habits, and good habits benefit people for life. Through "double teaching and research", everyone agrees that it is very important to let children adapt to primary school life, establish self-confidence and cultivate self-management and service awareness.

Combined with the daily life of children in large classes, we launched the activity "When is the best time to go to the garden". The children summed up through practice that the admission time should be before 7: 50, so as not to affect the follow-up activities. Through self-recording, weekly statistics and monthly evaluation, children can have a "baby-focused" class, feel the time in life, and constantly strengthen it in recording rewards, and finally cultivate good work and rest habits. The ability to arrange time reasonably helps children adapt to primary school life. In the "Happy Ten Minutes between Classes" activity, we encourage children to plan and practice independently. what do you want to do? What can you do? What to do first? ...... Through constant trial and practice, children sort out: do important things in advance, and do things you like afterwards. Children's planning for time is further enhanced.

We improve children's life management ability through various forms and guide children to participate in labor. Classes carry out weather broadcast and statistical activities, children choose clothes according to weather conditions, and increase or decrease clothes according to weather changes in their lives, which enhances the independence of life management. When carrying out the "ten minutes between classes" activity, teachers gradually reduce language reminders, children arrange their lives reasonably, and develop the habit of drinking water and going to the toilet independently; Through the activity of "I am an expert in tidying up", teachers guide children to learn to tidy up toy cabinets and schoolbags and master tidying skills; The class will be designated as "Happy Labor Day" every week, and the "I am a student on duty" activity will be carried out every day to guide children to master the labor skills in line with age characteristics, consciously undertake labor tasks, and stimulate children's awareness of serving themselves, others and the collective.

At the same time, our park has built a safety and health defense line. In terms of safety, kindergartens carry out monthly safety drills to create "I know safety" wall decorations to help children master the necessary knowledge to deal with fires, earthquakes and other situations; Encourage children to participate in class and family safety inspections and make safety signs; Kindergartens invite parents to participate in safety drills, and their homes work together to build a safety defense line. In terms of hygiene, through the selection of "healthy babies", children are allowed to wash their hands and go to the toilet in the right way in their daily lives, forming hygienic habits; Health care doctors lead nurses to study together, record eye-care gymnastics that is scientific and childlike and conforms to children's age characteristics, insist on implementing it in children's daily life, and make a transition to doing eye-care exercises in the next semester of primary school classes, so that children can know how to care for their eyes from an early age.

Intelligent connection of game activities

Kindergarten takes games as its basic activity, which can effectively meet the key abilities in learning preparation in various aspects such as game situation, peer communication, task challenge and problem solving. Therefore, we fully tap the value of the game, dock key abilities, and promote effective integration in the game.

Regional game activities are diverse in form and rich in value. Teachers skillfully integrate the key points of young and connected learning content into it in a planned way, so that children can grow up in free and independent games and gain the development of cognition, emotion, language and logical thinking. Before the regional games, children planned the content of the games in their own way, from simply drawing regional signs to purposeful selection of content, use of materials and presentation of step diagrams. The purpose and planning of the games gradually increased.

In the process of regional games, children naturally develop the key ability of learning preparation. In the reading area, the "sequel story" expresses the sequel content in the form of symbolic painting. Children make story books, create stories according to roles and record them, and their early writing ability and logical expression ability are gradually enhanced; Using inquiry-based homework materials and recording forms in the science area, children constantly stimulate curiosity and thirst for knowledge in guessing, exploring, verifying, recording and sharing with their peers; Observing, experimenting and recording the growth of plants in the plant corner has improved children's concentration ... We have specially set up a "primary school" area where children take turns to experience and feel. In the process of playing "little teacher", their planning, thinking, design content, language expression, peer communication and other abilities have been continuously improved.

Clever cohesion in reading activities

After a long period of continuous excavation and accumulation, our garden has gradually formed a "happy" reading feature, focusing on promoting children's various development through reading. Teachers find that reading is not only a learning process, but also a learning method, which can play a positive role in children's physical and mental preparation, language expression and early writing.

Learn to control emotions with picture books. Faced with primary school life, children are both curious and worried: "What if I can't find a classroom?" "What if I don't have time to go to the toilet?" "What if the teacher criticizes me for being late in the morning?" ..... Teachers and children together in the "Little Ali's Big School", "Mood Diary" and other picture book stories, looking for ways to solve problems, reasonably vent their emotions, and make children full of yearning for primary school life.

Create picture books and plays, and exercise written expression. In the process of writing their own scripts, in order to make the story more reasonable, children gradually try to think about the relationship between plots and develop their logical thinking ability; In order to make the performance more vivid, children constantly enrich the details in the script, and initially experience the description of action, language and psychology, which is conducive to the transition to primary school.

I borrowed books independently before and accumulated writing experience. In book drifting activities, children in large classes write down their names and dates before borrowing books, and record their understanding, feelings and problems about the contents of books through painting after reading. Their reading habits and speaking ability are constantly cultivated and improved, and children are more interested in words in natural activities.

Reading games promotes all-round development. Teachers use picture book elements to design language games suitable for children's age characteristics, and integrate five fields and learning quality into them. Children observe, tell, express and understand in the game situation, collect relevant materials and books individually or cooperatively, record them in their favorite way and share them in the class. When reading games, they read rules, charts, contents, words, stories and actions ... externalize all kinds of input information, promote the development of thinking, improve the ability of active learning, active thinking and problem solving, and lay a good foundation for future study.
