For the correct development of five-year-olds, teachers arrange corners in a kindergarten in the middle group. Their subjects can be diverse, but the corners of health, duty, nature are generally accepted. In addition, informational stands for parents carry a payload.
Health corner
In sports and recreation education, a health corner plays an important role, in which both children and parents can find useful information on how to maintain physical health for many years, and this can be conveyed in a bright, colorful and accessible form. To do this, it is enough to take into account some nuances.
How to arrange a health corner
The health corner in kindergartens should be in such a place that it is always in sight, and the locker room will be an excellent choice. It is here that parents have the opportunity to get acquainted with useful information while they are expecting their child.
For the title, you should choose bright colors that will attract attention, and a large enough font to facilitate perception. And, of course, the most important thing is the semantic load, the essence of the information that needs to be conveyed to the readership. The prepared material should be fresh, interesting, important, therefore it is necessary to update it periodically.
Health corner components in kindergartens
Corners in kindergarten in the middle group must contain simple recommendations for parents aimed at improving the health of babies. These may be elementary preventive measures, which we sometimes forget about, or something new that will be interesting to learn about.
An obligatory component of the health corner should be information for the pupils themselves, and since at such a young age they can be interested in beautiful pictures, the children's section must necessarily contain vivid illustrations. Cartoon characters and fairy-tale characters should promote the right way of life and be depicted, for example, during charging, morning washing, etc. Children's pages of a corner of health should be in a visibility zone of kids. It will be interesting to diversify the stand with drawings or crafts of pupils on the topic of health.
Also, the physical education corner in the kindergarten should cover information on held or planned sports events, relay races, competitions, quizzes that support the topic of health protection. It can be photos of children and indicative sports results.
The main themes for the design of the corner of health
Health topics should help parents educate children in the basic rules of a healthy lifestyle. Here are the most popular:
- What clothes to choose for a walk?
- What do parents need to know about vaccinations?
- The importance of observing the correct daily routine.
- The diet of a child of the middle group.
- Prevention of colds and viral diseases.
- Daily physical education.
- Prevention of caries.
- Safe behavior on the water.
- Protection against ticks, etc.
Corners in kindergartens (some of which we present below) are sure to help kids quickly learn the rules of personal hygiene, and young parents to learn a lot about their children.
Nature corner
Children are very fond of nature with its amazing variety of plants and animals, and direct communication with certain species is the most vivid emotions and visibility that can not be compared with the study of pictures and descriptions in books. That is why the corners of nature in kindergartens are of such great importance as a teaching aid and decoration of the group. They bring incomparable pleasure to babies who can independently look after plants and funny pets, developing a sense of responsibility and love of nature.
The choice of inhabitants of the living area
For the effectiveness of the educational impact on children, some nuances should be taken into account when choosing plants and animals in order to properly arrange a corner in kindergarten. So, plants are preferred:
- with expressive, vivid appearance to keep the unstable attention of preschool children;
- unpretentious, safe for health;
- different species to bring children to an understanding of diversity and personality.
It is important to place plants in such a way that the corners of nature in kindergartens look spectacular and create additional comfort in the group's premises. In addition, you need to take into account their requirements for lighting, humidity, etc. For example, violet and begonia do not like direct sunlight, and cactus and geranium prefer a lot of light. And do not forget that children should have free access to “wards” plants in order to observe and care for them.
The kindergarten’s living area can be replenished with plants such as prickly aloe and rather fleshy agave weaving with beautiful asparagus branches, colorful begonia and others. Children of the middle group, along with their caregiver, can look after 6-8 types of indoor flowers at once.
As for animals, the corners in the kindergarten in the middle group can become home to turtles, lizards or schools of aquarium fish. You can get a small fluffy rodent - a funny guinea pig, hamster or mouse, which are unpretentious in care and cause emotion. In addition, these animals easily develop reflexes to various signals, which undoubtedly amuses the kids.
Living Room Care Skills in the Middle Group
Carers help children learn such simple skills as proper watering and keeping plants clean. Watching indoor flowers with different shapes and sizes of leaves, the "five-year plan" develop the ability to notice the variety of colors, shapes, surface features of plants, etc. Children of the middle group find similarities and differences of individual species, group them by common signs, begin to remember the necessary conditions for their life.
A child of this age group also remembers the features of the appearance of the pets, begins to distinguish the dependence of movements on the structure of the paws and the presence of the tail. Skills are acquired for spraying indoor plants with small leaves from a spray bottle and rubbing large foliage with a cloth, and for brushing rough surfaces with a brush. The teacher teaches you to choose a way of care depending on the fragility and number of leaves, etc.
Different types of fish differ not only in appearance, but also in their habits, on which the teacher focuses the attention of children. Some groups start a singing canary or a couple of fun colorful budgies.
Kindergarten duty area
Thematic corners in kindergarten in the middle group from an early age introduce pupils to self-discipline and work. In particular, the children's duty area, compiled by the teacher and colorfully designed, plays an important role in this organizational process. It is not necessary to purchase a ready-made stand of polyvinyl chloride for this, it can be made independently from thick cardboard and installed in the group’s premises.
For a good perception by children, the duty area is decorated with bright symbolic pictures with available information. Such a visual aid accustoms pupils to discipline, order, accuracy, contributes to the development of independence, turning the usual help to clean up the group in a fascinating process.
The duty area should be equipped with special transparent "pockets", in which multi-colored cards with the names of children, their photos, pictures that demonstrate a certain action of the next person are inserted. In addition, you can attach apron hooks to the stand.
Parent's Corner
No less important are the parental corners in kindergartens, which should also be equipped in each age group. Such stands are usually installed in locker rooms, where parents have time to familiarize themselves with new information. This can be general news on the kindergarten, daily routine, date of the matinee, parent meeting or any other event in the life of the group and young pupils.
Informational stands for parents can be used for another purpose - if medical specialists need to provide timely information about vaccinations, physical examinations, the specifics of caring for babies, development in this period, subtleties in communication, etc.
It is convenient to provide the parent’s corner in the kindergarten with “pockets” in order to put information sheets in them. The best drawings and applications of children can become an adornment of such a stand, which will perfectly complement the interior design of the sadovskaya group.
Information corner in kindergarten
The information corner in the kindergarten is a kind of bulletin board, colorful and bright, eye-catching, giving clear information about the events of the kindergarten and a separate group. The difference from the corner of the parents is only that the proposed thematic information applies not only to them, but also to other employees of preschool educational institutions.
Examples include booths with advertisements for educators, information corners with streamlined guidelines, a list of medical recommendations and preventive measures, all kinds of certification stands, and many others. It is customary to post this kind of information in the halls and corridors of preschool institutions, which are the maximum passage places.
Thus, the thematic design of kindergarten groups is an integral part of the harmonious upbringing of children, representing a vivid visual aid for the acquisition and consolidation of certain skills and an important source of information for parents. Whenever possible, it is especially important to involve the kids in the design of the stands, developing elements of creativity in them.
