What event in the life of each baby is the most solemn and causes so many experiences? Of course, this is the very first trip to school! Lesson September 1 in grade 1 symbolizes the entry into a new phase of life, full of interesting discoveries and bright events. Such an important day should be remembered for a lifetime by both kids and their parents. Therefore, you need to approach the organization of events on September 1 in grade 1 with all responsibility.
History and traditions
Hardly, going to school on September 1 with armfuls of flowers, the guys think about the history of the holiday. They would be interested to know that in tsarist times, most educational institutions chose the start date of classes at their discretion. It was only in 1935 that all schools were obliged to start training from the very first day of autumn. And only after half a century (in 1984) this date officially became festive and was called the Day of Knowledge.
Traditionally, the celebration of the Day of Knowledge is accompanied by solemn rulers, and a lesson in peace is also considered an obligatory program. As a sign of gratitude for the work and as a congratulation on the holiday, it is customary to give bouquets of flowers to teachers. And for the youngest, a lesson in the first grade on September 1 is accompanied by an acquaintance with a teacher.
What should be the first day of school
The first lesson in 1st grade on September 1 is an incredibly responsible and exciting moment for both first-graders themselves and their parents. And even experienced teachers can not remain indifferent to such a wonderful holiday, when the kids are on the first step on the path to adulthood. That is why educators and parents need to prepare for this day in advance so that it leaves only positive memories about itself.
The first lesson in the 1st grade on September 1 is an important step that marks the child’s entry into a completely new stage. Saying goodbye to a carefree childhood, he enters the path of new knowledge, discoveries and accomplishments. But it is extremely important not to scare the kids with strict rules and discipline from day one. But at the same time, first-graders must realize the full responsibility and importance of the moment. That is why it is so important to find a balance between an unobtrusive game and strict order when the kids first meet the school walls.
In addition to numerous organizational issues, you also need to make sure that children and parents always have the memory of such a wonderful day as September 1 in grade 1. A photo is perhaps the best way to capture a crucial moment. Of course, each of the parents will definitely carry out amateur photography, but do not forget about the services of professionals.
World lesson
After the solemn line, the children go to their audience, where they will get acquainted with various subjects over the next four years in order to listen to their first lesson in the world. In the 1st grade, on September 1, these 45 minutes are usually devoted to talking with children about the most important thing that surrounds them: family, nature, school.
It is worthwhile to carefully approach the scenario of the lesson and its various attributes. A world lesson in 1st grade on September 1 should contain not only interesting, but also useful information. In order for the process to arouse interest among the children, you need to take care of visual materials, videos, as well as musical accompaniment. It is necessary to use poetry in speech, because they concentrate children's attention much better than monotonous speech.
How to conduct a world lesson
On their very first day of school, first-graders receive so many all kinds of emotions that they are simply incapable of perceiving any theoretical knowledge on this day, so the world lesson is an ideal continuation of getting to know the school after the holiday line. In Grade 1, September 1 is the time to talk with children about things that are important to them. Information should be both useful and interesting. That is why, on September 1, in the first grade, the scenario for a world lesson is very important.
It is important to create a friendly and fun atmosphere. A world lesson in 1st grade on September 1 should begin with music. While children will go into the audience and take seats, such children's songs as “Teach at school”, and other works and melodies should be sounded. When the kids take their desks, you can begin to open the lesson.
It would be nice if the first lesson in the 1st grade on the first of September began with a congratulation from high school students. Let them read poetry and say parting words to their younger comrades. After that, high school students should give them nice gifts (notebooks, pencils, pens), bought in advance at the expense of the parent committee.
Further, a peace lesson in the 1st grade on September 1 should be accompanied by a teacher’s parting speech about the importance of the first day of school, about what awaits the children next and how important it is to study diligently. Further, the teacher should disclose a specific topic. It can be a story of kindness, friendship, peace. About anything, the main thing is that the lesson in the 1st grade on September 1 should be instructive and interesting for first-graders.
In order for the peace lesson in the 1st grade on September 1 to be successful and arouse interest among children, it is imperative to stock up with all kinds of decorations, decorations, posters. It is important to make the most of multimedia features (video, audio, projectors). It is also necessary to periodically involve children in the process of discussing a particular topic, asking the class questions.
Do you need a cool hour
To solve organizational issues , you must spend a class hour. September 1 in grade 1 often omit this moment or combine it with a lesson in the world. This can be called a pedagogical mistake, because the classroom helps children to feel the atmosphere of discipline and the educational process, and the teacher to find out important information for themselves.
Do not neglect such an important point as the class hour of September 1 in the 1st grade. It is on this day, when the children are not yet loaded with lessons and caring for study, that they, as well as their parents, need to be informed of all the most important information about what they should expect from school everyday life, as well as what rules they must follow.
How to spend a class hour
The classroom hour on September 1 in the 1st grade should, on the one hand, maintain a festive atmosphere, and on the other, raise serious enough points regarding the educational process. The first and most important point, of course, is the acquaintance. First, the teacher must introduce himself, and then each of the students. Let the children not only give their names, but also say a few words about themselves. This will help the kids get to know each other better, and the teacher - make a certain impression about each child.
You need to start a conversation with children with a simple question, for example, about whether children know what they have to do in school. Having started a conversation, you need to move on to more serious points. So, the class hour on September 1 in the 1st grade is designed to give students an idea of the rules of conduct in school. They should be stated in a language that children understand and contain, for example, the following rules:
- You cannot be late for a lesson;
- run along the corridors;
- quarrel and fight;
- stain curtains and walls;
- you can not write on the desks;
- you need to be careful about textbooks;
- behave well in the classroom;
- homework should be done.
To make children more interesting, you need to prepare posters in advance where the rules will be written. It is also necessary to distribute special reminders to all first-graders, where the lesson schedule, time of calls, as well as standards of behavior compulsory for school, will be printed.
The classroom hour on September 1 in the 1st grade should also be dedicated to introducing children to the school. The teacher should take the children along the corridors, show them where the teacher’s room, director’s office, gym, dining room, toilet and other rooms are located. After the excursion, first-graders should return to their classroom, where the teacher will seat them in certain places. To complete the classroom you need a pleasant and unexpected surprise. For example, you can give each child a first-form diploma or a medal.
It should be noted that the classroom hour on September 1 in the 1st grade should take place without the participation of parents, so that the children feel independence and responsibility.
Festive events
Despite the fact that the lesson on September 1 in grade 1 is itself an important and solemn event, children certainly need to arrange a holiday. This will help them relax after the important celebrations that were held at the school, and also allow them to get to know each other better and even make friends.
The scenario of the holiday of September 1 in the 1st grade can have several options. It needs to be discussed and arranged in advance with parents. Different options require different financial investments, as well as time costs. In addition, it is important to consider the interests of children. When choosing a scenario, you need to rely on exactly what the kids will like, and not on what is right from the point of view of parents and teachers.
Outdoor Celebration
Usually very warm and sunny weather falls on September 1. In the 1st grade, children will no longer have as much free time for games and entertainment as before, so a walk in the fresh air will certainly delight them. You can take them to a park or any other place in the city, where there is a lot of greenery and entertainment.
The scenario of the September 1 holiday in the 1st grade should begin with the order to line up the children in pairs and take them in an organized manner to the venue of the event. On the way, children need to be entertained with fun rhymes and songs. To make the September 1 day in Grade 1 especially bright, you can give first-graders colorful balloons that they would release into the sky according to the scenario.
It is important to take care of the leisure of children in nature in advance. The scenario of the September 1 holiday in the 1st grade in the open air must necessarily include outdoor games that would help children develop a team spirit. It is recommended to conduct games such as "Snake", "Trickle", "The sea worries once ...", and other entertainment in which everyone would be involved without exception and which would not constitute a risk of injury.
Since children are hungry for a day full of emotional and responsible events, you need to take care of the tasty end of the September 1 holiday in grade 1. Let parents think in advance about a small picnic for the kids, while they will have fun in the company of their first teacher.
Sweet holiday
Children will certainly appreciate the carefully prepared script for the holiday of September 1 in grade 1. With parents, you need to discuss the menu and venue in advance. Depending on what the budget will be, there are different options for organizing the event.
A sweet table can be organized directly at school, then the costs will be quite modest. While the children will be in the first lesson of the world, parents in the dining room are engaged in serving and decorating the hall. For decor, you can use all kinds of posters, garlands and, of course, balloons. If parents are willing to pay more to organize the celebration, it can be transferred to a restaurant or cafe.
The scenario of the September 1 holiday in the first class, in addition to sweet treats, should include musical accompaniment, as well as the work of animators. Do not forget to invite a professional photographer! He will create a colorful album with memories of such an important holiday for children.
Surprise from high school students
Senior students of the school better than anyone can take care of organizing entertainment for children on September 1 in the 1st grade. The script implies a festive concert in the assembly hall of the school. To prepare the celebration for first graders, you need to attract students of different ages: from the smallest to the oldest.
The program should include such entertaining numbers as dances, songs, humoresques, poems. In addition, do not forget about the serious issues that the concert participants should raise in their parting speech. The holiday must be completed with a “first-grader's oath”, where the kids promise to study hard, respect their elders, behave well during breaks and so on.
Cultural event
To diversify the leisure of children on September 1 in grade 1, the holiday script can be turned into a real cultural event. It implies a joint trip of kids, teachers and parents on an excursion, to the cinema and so on.
The event should be not only entertaining, but also educational in nature, so the theme of entertainment should be approached especially seriously. So, if we are talking about excursions, then it can relate to the places of military glory of the city, which will be a good continuation of the lesson of the world. An alternative would be a collective visit to the museum, where an exhibition will be prepared in advance, the theme of which will be inextricably linked with schooling.
Another option for celebrating Knowledge Day may be a movie trip. It is better to agree with the management of the institution in advance so that there are no problems with the availability of free places. In addition, you need to responsibly approach the choice of subjects of the picture, which will be demonstrated to first graders. It is better if it is a good children's film about school. Many examples of such paintings can be found among the samples of Soviet cinema. By the way, going to the cinema can easily be replaced by watching a movie in the assembly hall, if the school has a projector.
Children will not remain indifferent to the festive puppet show or theater performance of a young audience. The organization of such an event also needs to be agreed in advance. The plot should be kind and instructive. An option would be interesting in which the actors would communicate with the kids and even involve them in the performance. Subsequently, such joint trips to the theater can become traditional.
As you can see, preparing and organizing the celebration of Knowledge Day requires tremendous efforts on the part of both teachers and the parent committee. But these efforts will not go unnoticed. Children should certainly have the most positive and vivid impressions of the first school day.
