In this world-famous sports feast, Dou Shengkai, who was wearing a blue volunteer uniform, said that he "felt the highlight of life."

In 2007, Jinan No. 11 Middle School began to offer aerobics classes for students and formed an aerobics team to open up more channels for students to enter college. "Some children who are admitted do not have excellent grades and may not be able to advance to undergraduate courses only through cultural courses." Fu Hongmei said, but the aerobics major can help them overcome this "impossibility."
The children of the first-level aerobics team live a life of hard training similar to that of athletes: after the third period every afternoon, they train intensively for nearly 4 hours until the end of the day at 8:30 pm before eating and writing. Operation. "But the children have never complained because the senior brothers and sisters who have graduated and entered university before have inspired them and given them enough confidence." Fu Hongmei said.

Leng Feifei, deputy director of the Student Development Department, said that the school provides children with special practice rooms equipped with the best equipment, and arranges for children to participate in large and small competitions from the beginning to the end of the year to accumulate experience and achievements. .

The cultural teachers also tried their best, "There was a time, in order to give the children in the team Tutoring, some teachers are still giving lectures to children through video at 11:30 in the evening.

Volunteer service has become a "fashion":
With love in the heart, born towards the sun
In 2021, Jinan City's primary and secondary school moral education work meeting and Jinan City's third primary and secondary school moral education brand commendation and promotion meeting, Jinan No. 11 Middle School's "Student Volunteer Service+" "The project is on the list, and this is the third consecutive time that No. 11 Middle School has won this honor. It is reported that this brand moral education project takes volunteer service as the core, and extends six major volunteer service projects such as environmental protection, etiquette, poverty alleviation, and respecting the elderly based on students' abilities and interests. Li Yan, secretary of the Youth League Committee of
school, said that the school is willing to provide children with more and larger stages for volunteer service. During the epidemic, each class will arrange three volunteer positions to distribute lunch to students; in addition, the school will arrange student volunteers to take on tasks such as storage of materials in the examination room and assisting with nucleic acid testing.
"Giving children more opportunities to participate in important positions can help them train themselves. Being able to do important things well will give children more confidence and a greater sense of their own value." Li Yan said that children entering school now will have a In this volunteer service booklet, every time a service is completed, there will be a certification record. In recent years, the 15 volunteer positions in the campus library, carports, laboratories, club activity rooms, etc. have always been full every time they are recruited. There have even been situations where "more than 20 volunteers were recruited, and more than three times the number of students signed up."
"The children are very enthusiastic and can really feel it. Now volunteering is like a campus trend." Li Yan said. In 2022, the school's "Volunteer Service+" project will be upgraded to "curriculum-based". Teachers want children to gain relevant knowledge and skills while doing charity. Li Yan introduced that, for example, before volunteering in the library, professional teachers will be invited to teach children book sorting classes; before volunteering in cleaning-related activities, children will be given classes on hygiene, storage, and garbage classification. In 2021, Jinan Metro Line 2 opened, and the teachers took students from No. 11 Middle School to experience it. Before doing volunteer guidance services, they specially invited staff from Jinan Rail Transit Group to give a class.
Li Yan felt the joy of students in volunteer service. "There was a sophomore in high school who was not a student cadre. She once told me very proudly that she had served 200 hours of volunteer service," Li Yan said.
"With love in your heart, you are born toward the sun." This is how Li Yan summarizes the goal of this project. Over the years, I have taken the children to donate books to Tibet, sell walnuts for charity, and go to nursing homes and orphanages to do charity. I have truly seen the children's feelings in the process of giving love.
"I hope that in caring for others, everyone will experience the benefits of self-acceptance, stimulate interest in learning knowledge, experience warmth, regain self-confidence, and experience personal sense of accomplishment and value. This is also an important part of education." Li Yan said.
A good habit every month:
Give children a lifetime of nourishment
"A good habit every month" themed class meeting
Habits are a huge and tenacious force that can influence and even dominate life. In 2017, Jinan No. 11 Middle School began to carry out the "One Good Habit Every Month" activity in the school, and it has been five years so far.
Be calm as soon as you enter the room, have a plan in doing things, and treat others with a smile... Zhang Kejian, director of the Student Development Department, said that although they have entered high school, as educators, they are still insisting on correcting some bad behavioral habits for children and establishing some bad habits even if they are not right now. Good habits that will have obvious results but may affect your life.
Such as the monthly theme "Books to be read aloud". "The ancients said that reading should be done with the eyes, the heart, and the mouth," Zhang Kejian said. Educators know that reading aloud is conducive to deepening the understanding of the text, focusing attention, and cultivating the sense of language, sentence fragmentation, tone, and intonation; reading aloud in foreign languages It can also train pronunciation and listening. In addition, collective reading will create a better learning and reading atmosphere around children.
In 2018, the theme activity of "Reading books aloud" was launched. The school introduced the meaning of "reading aloud" through some theme class meetings, reached a consensus with students, and established the goal of reading aloud 20 minutes before and during morning self-study; thereafter, teachers patrolled and filmed Some reading scenes can enhance students' enthusiasm by sharing "competition" among grade groups.After that, teachers could often hear the sound of "reading aloud" on campus, and even felt the progress of some children's language expression.
"obey the rules" education is carried out every month. "We want to cultivate children into good citizens, and rule awareness is indispensable." Zhang Kejian said that the reality is that some rules are contrary to children's nature. At this time, children need to understand and obey the rules. "Teaching the rules to children and letting them remember them is the first step, and then helping them understand through some daily requirements and even punishments."
Long before the country introduced campus mobile phone management, the 11th Middle School issued relevant requirements for mobile phone management. , which not only meets the needs of day students to use mobile phones, but also prevents them from using mobile phones during school hours through strict management; No. 11 Middle School is close to a densely populated area, and students often do not obey traffic rules at the school gate. The school helps children by taking the children to conduct civilized traffic diversion at zebra crossings. Children develop a better awareness of civilized safety.
"Through habit-forming education, some problematic habits in the compulsory education stage have been gradually corrected, and the school environment order and children's personal qualities have changed significantly. We work hard to do this part because these will accompany them throughout their lives and will also It has a profound impact on the environment and society," Zhang Kejian said.
Behind the Bazi teaching concept of "making full use of talents and developing all-roundly" is the importance and dedicated cultivation of every child in No. 11 Middle School.
"Although some students have relatively weak foundations, we hope to provide them with different growth paths and explore the shining points of the children. We hope that the children will grow into people with perfect character, sound personality and mental health." Principal Shao Jinbo said.
