The significance of nature to children

As early as the last century, the great people's educator Mr. Tao Xingzhi put forward the "Six Emancipations", thinking that liberating children's eyes, brain, hands, mouth, space and time can give them time to calmly digest and think about what they have learned, accept valuable knowledge from nature and society and actively create. Yes, starting from keeping children's curiosity and freshness, following the law of their cognitive development, guiding them to actively explore the world, guiding them to feel the wonder of nature in the process of listening, touching and smelling, and letting them know nature in their own hands, there will be different wonderful discoveries, which will be more conducive to children's in-depth understanding and perception in a natural and harmonious learning environment and meet their diversified development needs.

First, listen to the sound and wake up the ears.

There are different voices in the world, which need children to listen attentively and take the initiative to appreciate. In this process, children will constantly discover the mysteries of nature and feel the beauty of things around them. In the usual teaching, listening to various voices can arouse children's initiative to explore consciousness and form rich understanding thinking. Listening to different voices can make children feel rich in the process of truly integrating into nature.

Integrating into nature and organizing children to listen can give children more freshness. For example, in a report performance of "I can do it", I played the sounds of various birds to the children, which made them leave a certain impression. On the autumn outing the next day, I specially asked the children to pay attention to the songs of birds in the park and let them listen more. Many children can actively simulate various sounds after listening.

Some children imitate the chirping sound of birds in the forest, which can make us feel their freedom and happiness. Some children imitate the dance music of grandparents' square dance and feel freedom and harmony. Some children can imitate the sound of swans in the park, and so on. Guiding children to go deep into nature in this way will certainly help them broaden their horizons in the process of actively participating in learning and exploration and help them form a rich understanding in deepening the application of memorization.

Guiding children to actively integrate into nature can make students form a rich perceptual impression on the basis of listening. Listening to the sounds of nature can awaken children's curiosity and exploration consciousness, and help them form open thinking in deepening understanding and strengthening memory. Listening to the sound can make children feel the vitality and excitement of nature in the real natural situation and meet the diversified development needs of children.

Second, touch everything, touch objects

The best way to feel everything is to touch, so that children can experience tangible things in the process of touching. The sense of touch based on eyes, hands and brain can give children more practical experience and flexible application opportunities, which is conducive to the formation of different unique feelings on the basis of personal feelings. With the feeling of touching everything, giving children more opportunities to try will definitely help them discover the real and interesting world.

According to children's cognitive psychology, lead them out of the classroom and feel everything by themselves. For example, in the guidance of "knowing objects", teachers might as well lead children out of the classroom and encourage them to touch the seesaws, slides, murals, corners and flowers in the kindergarten, so that they can feel the shapes and characteristics in the process of direct touch.

For example, if you touch the seesaw, feel the hardness of the seesaw, and feel the influence of weight on the seesaw's up and down, height and so on; When touching the slide, let the children feel the smoothness of the slide, and there is a slippery feeling when sitting on it, which helps the children to understand why a person can't sit on the slide and needs help; When touching the flowers, let the children feel that the flowers are soft, with a layer of white powder on their hands, and so on. Feeling everything through touch not only helps children to feel the wonderful world, but also helps children to form diversified potential and motivation in the process of actively participating in practice.

The process of children's contact with everything is the process of enriching and deepening their understanding and perception, and it is also the process of changing their understanding and perception. Encourage children to talk about the process of their own touch, and encourage children to appreciate what they can see and touch when they boldly say their findings. After touching objects, children should be guided to wash their hands more, and form a good habit of washing hands frequently and paying attention to hygiene. This process not only cultivates children's awareness and habits of knowing and feeling nature, but also generates good habits of self-exploration and daring to practice in children's minds.

Third, smell the smell and tell the difference.

Feel the world through the sense of smell, and let the children know that the world has flavor. Guide children to integrate into nature, and encourage children to know objects and feel different tastes through active sniffing. The taste of any object is different, especially the fragrance of some flowers, the sweetness of candy, etc., which need children to smell carefully to help them feel the difference.
