1. Watch PPT, observe the special sleep patterns of animals and tell stories.
Bat: Sleep backwards. Bats sleep upside down. When sleeping, the hind legs are hooked on the eaves, and the body is upside down and the head is facing down. Once you encounter enemy damage, you can loosen your claws and fly away.
Crane: Stand on one foot and sleep.
Owl: Sleep with one eye open and one eye closed.
Hedgehog: Sleep a ball. When a hedgehog sleeps, it not only exposes its mouth and nose, but also curls its body into a ball, with its thorns upright and its nose slightly exposed. Sleeping fully armed like this can prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking.
Little goldfish: Sleep with your eyes open, because it has no eyelids. Fish always turn a blind eye when they sleep, and they change rhythmically every ten minutes.
Horse: Sleep standing, and the horse sleeps standing. If the horse lies down to sleep, it means that the horse is ill.
Tortoise: Sleeping in the shell can better protect yourself.
Dog: Dogs often sleep with their noses on their forearms. This is because their noses are particularly "precious" and should be taken good care of.

Reflection after class:
There are many kinds of animals in the world, and children have a strong desire to explore new things. In addition, taking a nap is an indispensable part of children's daily life in the park. From the point of view of children's health, taking a nap is to ensure that children have enough sleep time, so that their brains can get enough rest, enhance their resistance and promote their growth and development. At the same time, teachers are also required not to force children to sleep when organizing their siesta. I found that there are always some children who don't like taking a nap. Some children have some bad habits before going to bed, such as picking their nostrils, touching their eyes, biting clothes, kicking quilts and curling their hair. Therefore, based on children's interests and their life experiences, we organized the activity "How Animals Sleep". In the activity, I tried to let children find answers from their own life experiences and knowledge. For example, because small fish have no eyelids, they should sleep with their eyes open. Owls sleep with one eye open, in order to catch mice, to guard against enemies and so on. If you can't find the answer, the teacher guides the child to think and imagine. Why do horses, elephants, cows and deer sleep standing up? Some say that if the enemy comes, it is easy to escape quickly; Some people say that they are too big to lie down and get up again. Others said they could wake up immediately and be ready to go. Finally, guide children to understand that animals sleep in different ways in order to protect themselves. By observing and learning the sleeping postures of animals, especially the words "shrinking", "hanging upside down" and "lying down", children learn to do these sleeping movements on the basis of understanding. In teaching, the children's enthusiasm is always maintained, and they can listen to the teacher's guidance and tips every minute, and they can master the sleeping posture of various animals well, which can be seen in the later games. The game "It's getting dark" is to let children consolidate and understand the sleeping postures of different animals in imitation. Finally, let the children use their brains to think about how other animals sleep. Let the children know the sleeping posture of other animals with the help of their parents when they get home, and then share the results with the rest of the children. Let the children take the enthusiasm of inquiry home. Judging from the children's mastery of this teaching activity, the activity is successful. The children learned a lot of knowledge in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, which is difficult to reach at ordinary times. However, there are still some problems in the whole activity. For example, when asking questions, children usually answer "I don't know", although I mobilized parents to collect pictures about animal sleep before class. Imagine that parents can take their children to have a simple understanding when collecting, which is convenient for children to speak and tell in class, but I didn't expect that parents only completed a task assigned by the teacher when collecting, and downloaded some pictures on the Internet, ignoring the opportunity to study with their children. This also reminds me in my future parental work: when using parental cooperation, I should communicate with my parents, let them know my intention to let them cooperate, and let their teaching assistants not become a mere formality. During the activity of this class, I designed four links: situation introduction, appreciation and exploration, imagination and experience, and introduction to life.
First, the introduction of the situation quickly attracts children's attention and stimulates their interest in active exploration by introducing pictures of children taking a nap. Let them think, do people need to sleep and animals need to sleep?
Second, appreciate and explore.
1, show pictures of pony sleeping, and guide children to find "pony sleeping standing up". And ask the children to perform with physical movements in conjunction with the teacher's recitation.
2. Show the real little goldfish and let the children observe how the little goldfish swims freely in the water. Especially remind children to observe the eyes of goldfish. It turns out that "goldfish sleeps with their eyes open", and the children can't help acting.
Third, imagine the experience. Show the picture of the little hedgehog, find that the little hedgehog shrinks into a thorn ball to sleep, guide children to imitate, and encourage children to imagine boldly, "Why does it shrink into a thorn ball to sleep?" "At first, it was to protect itself from other animals." "What other animals do you know about their sleeping positions?" Encourage children to imagine boldly, combine with small animals around them, imitate the sleeping posture of small animals, and deepen their understanding of animal characteristics. In the activity, I pay attention to every child, let every child have the opportunity to express, give full play to the child's exploration spirit, and cultivate the child's willingness to express.
Fourth, after introducing life to imitate the sleeping styles of small animals, I guided the children to discuss: "Are these sleeping styles suitable for us?" I seize the opportunity of education in time and guide children to communicate with each other. "What kind of sleep mode is suitable for us?" Come on, we're going to lie down and sleep. After the whole activity, I walked into the children's inner world with the eyes of "head-up", squatted down to observe the animals with the children, and saw the world in their eyes from the children's perspective, achieving "visual integration" and forming "interest * * *", and the children became interested in the activity. At the same time, as children's partners, there is information interaction between us. I didn't order my children to answer "the way animals sleep" as a commander, nor did I convey "truth" to my children by indoctrination. Instead, I used "stories" to guide children to find problems and gain knowledge. But there are still some shortcomings in the whole activity, and the time is too long. Because I am so involved in this activity and the children are very interested in discussing it, I am not sure about the time. In the game, some children can't obey the rules of the game well, and some children are still moving when the music stops. We should strengthen this training in future activities.
