Planning in the preparatory group for “International Women’s Day”
In order for the “Mother’s Day” week to be useful for children, this time must be carefully planned and a program of daily activities must be thought through.
The celebration is held in all groups
When organizing any thematic week in kindergarten, it is necessary to determine the goals and objectives of the week, identify the topics that will be covered during it, and plan events, including the final one.
The week dedicated to “Women’s Day” in kindergarten is characterized by the following goals and objectives:
- To form in children ideas about the value of family in a person’s life.
- Teach children to respect their mothers and other family members, as well as teachers, doctors, etc.
- Enable children to understand gender roles and gender expectations.
- Develop a caring attitude towards others.
Events are going according to plan
Lexical work
Children are preparing for the transition to a new stage of education, in which they will have to cope with a significantly larger amount of information that will need to be perceived and remembered. Children will need a developed vocabulary, good memory and the ability to perceive information in both written and oral form. Therefore, an integral part of each thematic week spent in the preparatory group is lexical work.
The most successful format for lexical work in the preparatory group during the thematic week dedicated to “Women’s Day” is expressive reading and learning of poems that foster a reverent attitude towards mother and other female family members.
For your information. Excellent examples of poems that are suitable in this case are “A Mother Lived in the World” by Kayum Tangrykuliev, “Let’s Sit in Silence” by Elena Blaginina, “A Simple Word” by Igor Maznin, “Damp, Gloomy Outside the Window” by Ovsey Driz, “Mother” by Vladimir Borisov and many others.
Final event
As a final event of the week dedicated to Women's Day, there should be a concert to which family members of the children will be invited. It is very important for the children to have the opportunity to demonstrate the results of their work, share love and warmth with their mothers, and congratulate them.
For your information. At the concert, you can perform performances, which will include an expressive reading of poems dedicated to mothers, the performance of musical compositions, and at the end, children will present their mothers with gifts that they made with their own hands.
