The first thing the children do when they come to the park every morning is to say hello to the little guests, they are full of curiosity and ** for the new "friends", so we seize this opportunity to take the children in the class to observe, discover and explore the little turtles.
Mr. Tao Xingzhi's "Theory of Life Education" requires us to look for educational opportunities in children's lives. The "Outline" also points out: "Teachers should be good at discovering the educational value hidden in the things that children are interested in, games and accidents, seize the opportunity, and actively guide." ”

There were a lot of questions about the tortoise.
Why does the turtle's head keep shrinking inside and not coming out?
You touch its shell! It's so hard!
Hey? Why are their patterns different?
Therefore, we led the children to understand the basic structure of the turtle, know that the turtle has a head, neck, torso, limbs, tail and other components, understand the habits of the turtle, and establish the first impression of the turtle.
The children further perceive the physical characteristics of the baby turtle through activities such as looking and touching.
Turtle Trivia:
The turtle has four legs, a head, two eyes, a small tail, and a hard shell. Different species of turtles have different colors and patterns on their shells. The tortoise's body can be retracted into its shell, and it has no vocal cords, so it does not make sounds.

Professor Yu Yongping once said: "Children should be given more opportunities to experience the diversity of life in the natural environment, and further develop the concept of preschool education in a meaningful and authentic way to meet the requirements of sustainability." A good activity is to use existing resources so that children can have an experiential and emotional experience. ”
According to the age characteristics of the children in the nursery class, we have extended the content to the area, games and curriculum, and carried out a series of themed activities.

The children have a certain knowledge and experience of the little turtle, they all want to make friends with the little turtle, some children suggest that they give them their own name, but what is the best name?

I wanted to name the tortoise Flame.

Harvest and insight
The cute little turtles give children endless opportunities to explore. Meeting the baby turtle is the beginning of the dialogue between the children and the animals, and we found that in the days of raising the baby turtle, the children have become "little question marks", asking many strange questions, and they are also happy to find the answers to the questions with their peers and parents.
By observing the tortoise, the children are basically able to grasp the appearance characteristics of the tortoise, conduct specific analysis, and also be able to express it in their own preferred way to fully reflect and show their personality. The children's creative turtle paintings are displayed to inspire children's innovative thinking and stimulate their enthusiasm for creation, so as to cultivate children's spirit of cooperation, evaluation ability and aesthetic appreciation.
The development of young children
Throughout the activity, children always maintain a sense of curiosity to focus on engagement and active exploration, and dare to speak their minds when encountering a series of new problems and link them with their life experiences. Exploring turtles, thinking about how to care for turtles with their peers, helping turtles hibernate, what they need to hibernate, the process of building a family, and how to divide labor and cooperation, and developing a variety of abilities.
Teacher growth
In the activity, the teacher fully respects the wishes of the children, constantly observes the children's performance in the activity, and when the children have new problems, they catch them in time and throw the problems back to the children, so as to trigger discussions among the children and improve the children's ability to solve problems. In the process of solving problems, guide children to record their problems and discoveries in a timely manner, lead children to sort out and refine, and lead the activities to a deeper level.
We should be good at discovering children's curiosity, likes, interests and the educational value implied in accidental events, so as to meet children's inner needs. In addition, follow in the footsteps of young children, encourage and support them to use multiple senses to develop and construct new experiences.
