Shenzhen is experiencing a rare severe cold this winter. At the invitation of the curator, Teacher Chen, on this cold and windy winter afternoon, I resisted the temptation to hide in bed and take a nap. I came to Donghai Experimental Primary School and spent a warm and affectionate time with the cute second-grade children. lunch reading time.
In the freezing weather, will sharing a story that happened on a freezing night make it easier for children to scream?
——“On a cold winter night, the clear brilliance of the moon fell on the snow that was whiter than the milk in the porcelain bowl. The trees in the forest were all bare, with only stiff branches left. On such a night, the father and daughter, who were wrapped up like rice dumplings, were braving the severe cold. Where were they going? What were they going to do?" As I typed out my slides, this question immediately attracted the attention of all the children. , they all speculated: "Are you going treasure hunting?" "Are you rushing to do something important?"... The guesses are different, but in short, it must be an adventure, right?
When I opened the picture book in my hand, the front cover and back cover formed a full-frame clear picture with cold colors. I asked the children to enjoy this beautiful picture together and raise their hands to share the information they found on the picture: Yes, they saw the white snow, the bare woods, the big and round moon, and under the full moon, There are two figures, one big and one small. It is speculated that they are the father and daughter, the protagonists of the story mentioned in Aunt Xiong Xiong's introduction.
Before the story officially started, when I heard that I particularly liked how they could listen so quietly at such a young age, I admired them that they were only in second grade and could sit as straight as their brothers and sisters in fifth and sixth grade. When it was straight, the little ones looked at me intently and straightened their backs even more. I cleared my throat and began to read this story to the children seriously:
"My father and I went out to watch owls,
on a winter night.
p>
......
Soon,
I had to run a few steps to catch up with my father. /p>
My short, round shadow,
also stumbles with me.”
“I” stumble and run. But dad didn't deliberately slow down and wait for "me", so "I" had to catch up hard to avoid being left behind by dad.
When I acted out the father in the story imitating the call of the great horned owl, I saw pairs of little eyes full of expectation. Like the little protagonist in the story, they were looking forward to the owl coming out.
When the owl did not come out,
"I was not sad,
because several of my brothers had said,
Owls sometimes appear,
and sometimes they don’t.”
Yes, every child here knows and understands it.
The father led his daughter forward and continued to try. The weather was so cold that "it was like someone pressed their cold palms on my back." How cold is it? It's a freezing afternoon, and Aunt Xiongxiong's palms are very cold at the moment. Do you want to feel the feeling of being pressed by cold palms? The curious babies all said they wanted to try it. Haha, just kidding you, let’s continue reading these poetic words.
"...
We are with that owl,
You look at me, I look at you,
Look One minute, three minutes,
Or maybe a hundred minutes. ”
The owl finally appeared, the wish came true, and “I” was filled with joy. , forgetting the passage of time.
"I" understand,
"Going out to see owls,
no need to talk,
no need to be warm and comfortable,
You don’t need anything else,
As long as you have a hope in your heart,
Dad said so,
That hope,
Will use soundless wings,
In the bright, owl-watching moonlight,
fly forward ”
I invite. The children read this recurring text aloud with me, and everyone read it very seriously! I wonder if they will be as empowered as I am when they read it? Anyway, when I invited them to talk about where their father had taken them to do any unforgettable things, the friends were all eager to grab the microphone, and one by one they rushed to share the special time with their father. and unforgettable experiences. The new year has arrived. I hope that after listening to the story, the children will have hope and move forward bravely without fear of challenges.
Finally, I would like to talk about the reason why I particularly like this story. Not only because the story itself echoes the pictures and texts, is full of beauty and poetry, but also because the father in the story is full of power! His parenting style is completely different from his mother's. When taking his children out for adventure, he is not like his mother who micromanages everything and takes care of a lot. He only takes action when it's time to take action. More often than not, he believes that his children have the ability to overcome difficulties. Keep up the pace.
He sows the seeds of hope in the children's hearts, gives hope wings, and leads the children to fly forward.
In the current situation where the role of father is often absent and does not play a good role, I hope to share this story with more families and more children, remind more fathers, participate more in family activities, accompany their children more, and give Children have more guidance, more support, and more power!
