Weekly thematic planning acquiresrelevance when conducting classes with children of preschool and primary school age. Educational material that needs to be learned is evenly distributed in all classes, fixed in various activities.
Technology weekly thematic planning:
1) The topic "How frogs hibernate" iscomponent of a larger educational section "How animals winter". For each animal species, a time period is allocated that corresponds to a specific period of preparation of wild animals for winter.
2) At the beginning of the week the teacher creates the atmosphere ina room that arouses children's interest in this topic: works about frogs appear in a corner of books, illustrations of works and books that help to depict a frog correctly appear in a drawing corner. Books, albums, pictures cause curiosity in children, the need to ask questions.
3) Preschoolers should already have knowledge about other inhabitants of the reservoirs, so the topic of frogs can be planned by the teacher immediately after the thematic week “How the fish overwinter”.
4) On the first day of the week, all classes are relateda single theme: children read cognitive stories about frogs, in their free hours they make jumping frogs out of paper (origami technique), during a physical training session the image of a frog becomes basic, therefore the teacher teaches the wards long jumps from the spot. Preschoolers memorize poems on the topic, conduct observations of the animals.
5) Such an immersion in the subject causes an increased interest in children to the object of study. The teacher waits until the children have the question “How do frogs winter?”, Which becomes the theme of the main occupation.
The method of conducting classes based on fairy tales
The teacher suggests children to name national orauthor's tales, where there is an image of a frog. Children remember the fairy tale "The Frog Princess" or "The Frog-traveler" by V.M. Garshin. Depending on what kind of fairy tale is of the greatest interest in children, a lesson is built.
Only one fragment of the fairy tale is selected that reflects the peculiarities of the frog's life: swamp, water, mosquitoes and midges, moist soil.
If the children chose a fairy tale“Frog traveler”, you can tell them about the migration of animals on the eve of winter, show slides about the movement of animals from feeding places to the wintering place. Thus, the fairy tale becomes a variant of the truthful narration that frogs are able to return to their native reservoir, even if they are carried away for a distance of more than a kilometer.
Educator shows children special signs.for drivers of vehicles who cross the area of animal migration in the autumn. It offers to come up with ways to protect animals from death when they move in large groups and can get under the wheels of a car: laying tunnels under motorways, creating dams and lakes near their summer habitats.
The teacher does not give accurate information about howfrogs hibernate, and offers children to consider different types of amphibians and try to guess where frogs are hiding in the winter from frost and cold. The correct answers of the children are complemented by the teacher, confirmed by slides or illustrations, because the wintering place can be in the earthen hole and in the thick silt at the bottom of the pond, and in the hollow of the tree.
The older the children, the more details about the wintering of the frogs can be reported at the lesson: about a decrease in body temperature, about the mucus that protects them, about the restoration of vital activity in the spring.
Theme week may endfun or quiz about frogs. In the hall there is a thematic exhibition of handicrafts, drawings, applications and projects on the topic “How frogs overwinter”. Children compete, play, guess riddles, and their knowledge on this topic becomes more complete and sustainable.
