Recently, the children in Class 2 (1) of Penglai Road Second Primary School, Huangpu District, are increasingly fond of English classes. The "scratch" time at the end of each class inspires them to study more.
At the weekend, the second graders still turned on their computers. They are waiting for the opening of the "blind box" chat room, "Which friends will we talk to today?"
third-grade Xiaoyu was a little excited recently. It turned out that the "distance duet" work "Weiwei" completed by her and her psychology teacher Yu Jie has officially landed in the school's online concert!
scratch card, "blind box" chat room and duet, the teachers of Penglai Road No. 2 Primary School use these creative "magic weapons" to make children more passionate about online learning and more colorful life at home!
Yu Zhen, principal of Penglai Road No. 2 Primary School, introduced that the school has always encouraged teachers to come up with various tips in teaching. During the online teaching period, the school continues to inspect classes and discover good ideas from teachers, and through in-depth communication, we understand the thoughts behind the teachers, and refine and improve the tricks with the teachers. "Even online, teachers can shine with the light of creativity."
The harder they work, the luckier they are!
"Scratchback" makes online learning more exciting
Since online teaching, Shao Nianci, the head teacher of Class 2 (1), found that some common problems have appeared in the class: some children overslept and cannot enter the Tencent conference room on time, and some children are not focused enough to listen to the class.
What are the ways to mobilize students' enthusiasm and initiative in learning? Teacher Shao and the teachers in the grade group came up with an interesting activity - lucky "scratch"!
What is lucky "scratch"?
After each class, many cute "scratch cards" will appear on the screen shared by Teacher Shao. There are different rewards hidden behind each card. Children who abide by classroom rules, speak actively or make progress have the opportunity to participate in the scratch card.
For children, the "scratch" activity is both mysterious and surprising. Look! A child chose the No. 2 "Scratch Card". When the card clicked on the card to display "Cartoon Refrigerator Sticker ", she and her friends cheered together; another student scratched out of the No. 18 card "5 open and close jumps", he shrugged with a smile, and jumped up openly... There are also "a book", "a cup of yogurt", "a hug", "a hug", "a second time", etc. Some awards are redeemed on the spot, while others need to be redeemed after they resume offline learning.
"Scratchback" makes children's classroom participation more. Children who don’t like to raise their hands often start to answer questions; some students who are not focused enough in class have become particularly serious because they are afraid of losing the opportunity to scrape the prize; children who originally needed to remind them to attend classes on time can now consciously enter the "classroom" in advance to prepare for class.
scratch-offs let the children understand: "The harder the harder they work, the luckier they are! With motivation and persistence, they can gradually realize the transformation of heterology to self-discipline.
Nowadays, Teacher Shao also asks the children to write down the rewards they want, so that the reward content can start from the real needs of the children, thereby inspiring more children to learn happily.
The "blind box" chat room on the weekend
Let's stay at home and live a lonely life
Since online teaching, Yang Wen, the leader of the second-grade Chinese teaching and research group of the school, has been the leader of Yang Wen, the second-grade Chinese teaching and research group in the school. Teacher Yuan found that before going offline every day, the children always reluctantly send two small expressions and write a barrage of words to each other.
After studying at home for a long time, the children must have a lot to say to each other. Is there any way to give the children more room for interaction and communication?
Teacher Yang saw the little blind box on his desk and suddenly had an idea. "Opening blind boxes" is an activity that children like very much nowadays, why not set up a "blind box" chat room?
So, she posted a notice in the class group: My class will start the "blind box" chat room this weekend night, and children who want to participate are welcome to sign up.What is the "blind box" chat room like?
Teacher Yang divided the children into several groups according to the order of registration. Children from the same group were notified to enter the Tencent conference room of the class at the same time, and the children of this group were in a "blind box". The children were full of expectations and were curious about who they would meet in the "blind box" chat room.
That night, when the students entered the class chat room on time, the "blind box" was finally opened. When the children saw the students randomly divided into a group, their faces were filled with excitement and surprise, and they exclaimed: "So it's you! It's so fun."
Inspired by Teacher Yang, more and more teachers have also begun to design their own class's "blind box" chat room. Every chat room is very lively.
2 (3) Class teacher Chen Xiaoyan quietly "invisible" in the "blind box" chat room, leaving the space for the children. The children started chatting freely: some introduced their own cats, some shared their little secrets, some told stories of "poke the nose" to make nucleic acid, and some students used the "sharing whiteboard" function to help everyone play "I draw you guess".
is different from Teacher Chen. The second (4) class teacher Song Yueqiong chose to chat in the "blind box" chat room throughout the whole process. They talked about everything from the onions they planted at home to "Israel mahjong". The children also drew cartoon avatars for Teacher Song.
"Blind Box" chat room makes up for the lack of face-to-face communication between children during the epidemic. The free words and words not only enhance the emotional communication between teachers and students, but also alleviates the anxiety and tension in the current epidemic.
The teachers were also surprised to find that students' creativity, communication skills, organizational skills, and information technology abilities have been trained in "chat and interaction".
Check ukulele Due to the air duet
Let the friendship between teachers and students "go in both directions"
History since online teaching, the school psychology teacher Yu Jie has always cared about the students' home learning status, maintained active communication with the head teachers of each class to understand the physical and mental health of students, and provided online psychological counseling for children who are in real need.
In late April, Teacher Yu Jie learned that Xiaoyu was in poor health recently, so she took the initiative to contact the child, maintained communication with the child through WeChat, and asked about her well-being, becoming the "intimate sister" around her.
During the communication, Teacher Yu learned that Xiaoyu was also a music fan and could play ukulele, so he suggested learning to play and sing a song together, and recording a ukulele music work from a distance in combination with the "Penglai Town" online concert activity.
In the communication with Xiaoyu, Teacher Yu felt the child's optimism, positivity, perseverance and courage. Although each conversation was short, it was full of power. At this moment, a song couldn't help but ring in her ears: "The slight morning light illuminates this noisy world, and the slight warmth melts the ice and snow of last night, just like every second is called time..."
During the practice and singing over and over again, Teacher Yu conveyed a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, and Xiaoyu also felt the magical charm of music and the warm care of the teachers!
Principal Yu Zhen introduced that during the online teaching period, the school launched exciting activities such as the "Penglai Town" concert, online sports meeting, online town lecture hall, writer online new book sharing session, etc., to build a platform for students to show their personality and encourage children to develop in an all-round way.
Whether it is the optimization of daily teaching or the planning of exciting activities, it is inseparable from the wonderful creativity of the teachers. The school believes that only creative teachers can cultivate innovative children.
For teachers, the school will showcase them through WeChat official accounts, video accounts and other media platforms, which also inspires more teachers to join the team that share "magic weapons", making thinking and innovation become a trend in the teaching team of Penglai Road No. 2 Primary School.
