I'm surprised,
Rain falls from the dark clouds,
Why is it shining silver?
I'm surprised,
? Eating green mulberry leaves,
How to grow into a white silkworm baby?
I'm surprised,
? Gourd flowers that no one has touched,
? How can I make a flower myself?
I'm surprised,
? How to ask people? Everyone said with a smile.
Of course.
According to the division of children's growth stages in Whitehead's The Purpose of Education, the second grade children are in a pink romantic period. At this time, the child's heart is always full of longing for the future, and curiosity and doubt about the real world will always ask many strange questions.
For such a pure state of mind, we need meticulous care from adults and an encouraging and appreciative eye to look at children's thinking and problems. These problems are not only the seeds of scientific spirit, but also the important stage of children's internal language growth-the external world is projected into children's minds, colliding with their existing experience and stimulating the spark of thinking. What's more commendable is that they haven't formed a fixed mindset in their minds, and they won't become numb like adults because the outside world has written it in their minds thousands of times. They are trying to establish contact, make early guesses, guesses and judgments, and get through the connection between the world in their eyes and what already exists in their minds. When they can't connect, they will naturally ask, "Why …" This shows that children's language and thinking are already establishing a directional connection. Therefore, in this period, guiding children to nature and letting them discover, understand and contact things among thousands of people will activate children's language and thinking, and enrich and deepen their training in different thinking modes.
Besides, in the poem Strange Things, we see not only the sprout of scientific spirit, but also how to express children's thoughts naturally and simply, and guide them to find that poetry is not magical, it is the natural flow of inner voice. Poetry reading infiltrates children's minds and broadens their horizons. Poetry creation stretches children's growth, elegant children's expression, and lets children discover the fun of morning reading.
I have been trying to do such a thing-combine the content of morning reading with the elements of humanities and Chinese studies in the textbooks compiled by the Ministry. The theme of Unit 6 in the second part is the secret of nature. There are ancient poems describing natural landscapes, essays describing natural phenomena and introducing natural mysteries, and children's poems. Adding Jin Meiling's "Strange Things" to the study of teaching materials can effectively stimulate students' interest in exploring natural mysteries, and realize the peer of science and humanities, and pay equal attention to language and thinking.
? The interpretation of each sentence in this poem is as follows: There are many things in the author's mind that make her feel strange-"Rain, obviously coming from dark clouds, is not dyed black, but will shine silver". In the author's mind, "the color of deep clouds" and "the silver light of rain" are interrelated and have cognitive conflicts. So the first question is-
"Rain falls from the dark clouds,
Why is it shining silver? "
Similarly, the mulberry leaves eaten by silkworm babies are green, but their bodies are not dyed green, but can grow into white. "No one has touched the gourd flower", unlike the lock on the door, it will open itself, which also makes the author feel extremely strange. It can be seen that the author is trying to find the connection between the primary and shallow layers of the world. This kind of connected thinking seems naive, but it is growing hard, so there are all kinds of puzzles and obstacles. The last sentence is a little helpless and sad, and it also makes us readers feel a little sad-
How to ask people? Everyone said with a smile.
Of course.
This sentence represents a person-the tide of his rich and active thinking, exploration and discovery has receded, but there is nothing left on the beach, which also affects the next generation and keeps the children in an empty state.
In the pink age of children, we (including parents and teachers) should help children to extend their thinking and language tentacles to further places and connect more things, which are as dense as cobwebs and scattered all over the place. Every connection is an activation and consolidation. The more nodes there are, the more active children's thinking will be until they can "start from the beginning, listen to the opposite, worry about the news, concentrate on the eighth grade and travel to Wan Ren." Look at the past and present in an instant, and caress the whole world in an instant. All-encompassing thinking, every node can touch everything, then how powerful the brain and thinking should be.
