Xi 'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda Primary School uses a magnifying glass to find the highlights of each child.

When she mentioned her son's change, An Shaoli looked happy: "My son likes playing football. When he went out to play football with his partner, he always said,' Mom, let them play with me', but now he will say,' Hello, can you take me to play?'

The subtle changes in language wording have made An Shaoli deeply feel the magical power of her son's school to "start with habit-forming education and promote quality education". This school is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Primary School in Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province.

Promoting etiquette education: capturing the image of morality

"idolize" is a unique landscape of Big Wild Goose Pagoda Primary School. However, students are not chasing entertainment stars, but "civilized etiquette stars", "civilized game stars", "safe walking stars" and "environmental protection green stars". These "stars" are all campus stars explored by the school's "small eyes, big focus" campus star-seeking series activities.

In a series of activities, the school points the camera at the campus from time to time in the form of unannounced visits, randomly captures the images of civilized manners and uncivilized behaviors on campus, and makes short films and uploads them to the campus network for students of all classes to watch and discuss, learn from examples and correct mistakes.

"There is a famous saying that character determines fate. So, what determines personality? Habit. " Yan Jianfeng, vice president, said that a good habit will affect a child's life, which is also the starting point for the school to promote formative education.

For this reason, Big Wild Goose Pagoda Primary School takes habit-forming education as a breakthrough, and adopts six measures: "edifying students with classic reading, training students with classroom teaching, leading students with health education, motivating students with characteristic activities, promoting students with interest cultivation, and standardizing students with system construction" to make students behave in a courteous manner.

Among them, students are edified by classical reading. According to the contents of selected classics and the age characteristics of students, the school determines the key points of classical reading in each grade: etiquette in grade one, love in grade two, intelligence in grade three, filial piety in grade four, honesty in grade five and gratitude in grade six. In order to cooperate with this activity, the school independently developed nearly one million words of "The Ritual Culture Reader of Big Wild Goose Pagoda Primary School" and "Good Children and Good Songs" folding manual, which provided strong support for the implementation of classic reading.

The mother of Liu Zhiyuan, a student in Class 8, Grade 4, works in a university in Xi 'an and pays special attention to her children's reading: "I originally asked my children to read for half an hour every day, which coincides with the school's activities. Every time I discuss with the Chinese teacher how to cultivate and guide children's reading interest, there is a strong buzz, which makes me feel very gratified."

Building a harmonious campus: Love in a quiet way

"My son is introverted and shy and unwilling to communicate with others." Ye Bibo, the mother of Wang Yidong, a third-grade (1) class student, told the reporter.

However, the teacher didn't ignore Wang Yidong or enlighten him deliberately, but influenced him bit by bit with activities. For example, let him collect his exercise books; Let him shake the rope in the school skipping competition. "These are all to strengthen his interaction with his classmates, and they are all in the form of' love' that moistens things quietly." Ye Bibo said with emotion.

In order to create a harmonious relationship between teachers and students more systematically, the school specially organized the activity of "Being the Sunshine Star", which advocated teachers to use a magnifying glass to find the "shining point" of each child, thus creating many painting stars, dancing stars, science and technology stars, environmental protection stars, writing stars, smiling stars and reading stars, which can be described as "everyone is a star and shining".

The school also actively creates campus cultural activities such as interest groups, science and technology festivals, art festivals and sports competitions, and creates a series of characteristic activities such as "Civilized Every Day", "Bending and Bending Team", "Campus Civilized Gang" and "Example is beside me" to create a harmonious and beautiful campus environment.

Li Yunxi, a student in Class 2, Grade 3, likes calligraphy and clay sculpture very much. Before entering Big Wild Goose Pagoda Primary School, her mother Li Yingzi is going to enroll her daughter in an off-campus calligraphy and clay sculpture tutorial class. "The price is very expensive. After one year, two classes may cost about 1, yuan." Li Yingzi said, "Later, when I asked the class teacher, I realized that there was absolutely no need to report to extracurricular classes, because the school had already set up interest groups for calligraphy and clay sculpture, and it didn't charge a penny more than the material fee."

In order to improve students' quality, according to their age characteristics, the school has set up "three-level interest" group activities: the first level is "class interest" to stimulate interest and broaden their horizons; The second level is the "grade interest" that strengthens interest and pays attention to teamwork; The third level is the "school-level interest" that focuses on ability training and innovative practice.

Building a linkage system: cohesive force of formative education

When talking about how to deepen formative education, Yan Jianfeng told reporters: "The school insists on starting from students' reality, taking school education as the leading factor, taking family education as the foundation and taking social education as the extension, and establishing a three-dimensional education network of' school, family and society'."

"Uncle, please don't throw confetti everywhere." Recently, Fan Yichen, a sixth-grade (8) class student of Big Wild Goose Pagoda Primary School, participated in the school's "bending and bending" environmental protection team activity with his classmates in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square not far from the school. He advised an uncle who threw away scraps of paper.

At first, the young man accused the pupils of meddling, but under the polite persuasion of a dozen pupils, the young man not only picked up the scraps of paper and threw them into the dustbin, but also gave them a thumbs up.

The theme activity of "Bend and Bend" trains students to start with small things, and drives them to form a good habit of not littering and bending down to pick up garbage. During recess, students wearing the armbands of "Bend and Bend" environmental protection teams can be seen in Big Wild Goose Pagoda Primary School, who are active in every corner of the campus and take the initiative to pick up the ground garbage. On major festivals, they will also go to public places near the school to pick up scraps of paper.

"I think it is not a piece of paper that is picked up by bending over, but a civilization." Fan Yichen said.

"This is just a microcosm of the school's extension of formative education to society." Yan Jianfeng said, "By participating in social welfare activities, establishing social practice bases and opening up ideological education bases, students can serve the society and repay the society, and get support and assistance from all sectors of society for school education."
