Project “Vegetable garden on the windowsill” in the second junior group

Project type:

  • Focus: informational and educational.
  • By number of participants: group.
  • Duration: short-term.

Project participants:

  • Children of the 2nd junior group.
  • Educators.
  • Parents.

Project activity base:

MBDOU "Kilemarsky kindergarten "Teremok"

Implementation time: 1 month.

Relevance of the project.

Many parents who have their own gardens (dachas) do not suspect that the green kingdom will begin to arouse the child’s great interest if adults teach them to observe the plant, to see in the green sprout a special living creature, whose life depends entirely on whether it receives care or not. Only with the help of adults can a preschooler understand that the life of a plant depends on the presence of heat, light and good soil, and learn to distinguish a healthy and strong plant from a weak, frail one that requires “treatment.” Having learned to understand the condition of plants, the child will sympathize and care for the plants.

Hypothesis.

We assume that a preschooler who has gone through the “school” of caring for garden crops on the windowsill will participate in feasible labor of growing vegetables in the garden along with his parents. And parents, having received the necessary advice and recommendations, will involve the child in joint activities in growing vegetables.

Problem.

Children of primary preschool age do not have sufficient understanding of plants, where they grow, the necessary conditions for their growth, and their interest in cognitive and research activities is not sufficiently developed.

Children do not have enough knowledge about habits that are beneficial to human health.

Objective of the project.

  • To develop children's interest in experimental and research activities in growing cultivated plants indoors.
  • To instill in children a love of nature.
  • Create a vegetable garden on the windowsill in the group.

Project objectives.

  • To provide knowledge that plants are alive, they are watered, planted, and grown from seeds.
  • Expand children's knowledge and understanding of the beneficial properties of vegetables (onions, garlic, beetroot, lettuce), their structure and the conditions necessary for their growth.
  • Clarify adults’ ideas about work, teach children to correctly name labor actions.
  • To foster a caring attitude towards one’s health, to clarify children’s knowledge about habits that are beneficial to human health.
  • Foster hard work and respect for plants.
  • Get positive emotions from the results obtained.
  • Enrich vocabulary, develop children's coherent speech.
  • Create conditions for parental participation in the educational process.

Main directions of the project.

  • Working with preschoolers.
  • Working with parents as a result of the implementation of the “Vegetable garden on the windowsill” project.

Expected results.

  • Children will gain knowledge that plants are alive, they are watered, planted, and grown from seeds.
  • Children will gain an understanding of the work of adults and will learn to correctly name labor actions.
  • Children will take care of their health.
  • The work carried out allows us to cultivate hard work and caring attitude towards plants.
  • All project participants (children, teachers, parents) will receive positive emotions from the results obtained.

The success of the implementation of tasks is ensured by the construction of a system of work in this area, which includes the following components:

  • Creation of a subject-developing environment;
  • Working with parents.

One of the most important conditions for solving problems is the organization of a developing subject environment. The object environment surrounds the child and has a certain influence on him from the first minutes of his life. It is important that it becomes developmental, that is, it ensures the development of active independent children's activities. However, in order for the subject material that is given to children for free use to become a stimulant, a source of research and search activity for preschoolers, they must have a minimum of knowledge and methods of action on which to rely.

Professional training of teachers: seminars, round table, visiting educational activities, taking courses.

Work with preschoolers includes:

  • Selection and examination of illustrations.
  • Organization and conduct of experimental activities: “Vegetable garden on the windowsill.” Planting vegetables: onions, beets, oats, radishes, beans, etc.
  • NOD “I am friendly with health, I want to be healthy.”
  • Conversation: “Caution – germs.”
  • Carrying out observations of plant growth with recording changes in growth (photo, “Observation Diary”).
  • Planting vegetables at home with parents (recommendations).
  • Caring for planted plants through observation (watering, loosening the soil).
  • Selection and reading of fiction.
  • Selection and guessing of riddles on the topic “Vegetables”, poems.
  • Children's independent activities, coloring vegetables, drawing microbes.
  • Organization and conduct of didactic games to consolidate knowledge about vegetables: “Wonderful bag”, “What has changed”, “What is being planted in the garden”, “Guess by the description”, “Fold the picture”, “The fourth one is extra”.
  • Decorating a vegetable garden in the style of a small rural courtyard: “A house in the village” where they live, Grandfather dressed in a hundred fur coats and Lukovka. They “grow” vegetables in the garden beds. Children in a playful way get acquainted with everyday life and farming, the inhabitants of a rural courtyard, with tools, agricultural machinery, and observe the growth of plants.

Joint activities of children and parents:

  • Planting some crops (flowers - bulbous) at home with children.

Working with parents:

  • Discussion of this issue at the parent meeting, February 27.
  • Conversation with parents “Vegetable garden on the windowsill” (at a meeting).

Preschool childhood is the initial stage of the formation of a person’s personality and his value orientation in the world around him. During this period, a positive attitude towards nature, towards the “man-made world”, towards oneself and towards the people around them is formed.

The formation of the beginning of an ecological culture in children contains a variant of specific technologies built on organizing the interaction of preschool children with nature, the immediate environment, and knowledge of what grows and lives next to them.

In connection with this, it seems important to create a developing ecological environment, which, if properly structured, improved and subsequently used in pedagogical activities, acts as a method of environmental education of children.
