One of the areas of educational work in elementary school is the holding of class hours. The older the child becomes, the more serious topics need to be discussed with him.
Class hours in the 3rd grade should in their content meet the age criteria of the student. Moreover, the development of past years is not always perfect. It is worth considering that modern children are developing much more actively. With a child of 9-10 years old, it is quite possible and necessary to talk on adult topics.
Age features of students 9-10 years old
Studying in elementary school, for the first two years, children learn to act according to a pattern, they have a strict distinction between good and bad. Grade 3 - the beginning of the formation of one’s own opinion, one's “I”. At this age, the problems of success and personal relationships with students, parents and teachers come to the fore. The child should strive for self-knowledge and self-improvement.
Children at this age stage are forming new definitions and concepts, they learn to independently evaluate one or another act of an adult. In this situation, it is very important to keep the brand for the teacher himself, so as not to pass from the ideal to the category of contempt. Unfortunately, such moments are not uncommon in the life of schoolchildren. It is impossible to constantly criticize students in public, you need to find positive aspects in each child and, as far as possible, praise for perfect deeds and successes. According to the above criteria, the educational process should be built. The classroom hour is not only a discussion of the features of the educational process. At such events, children should discover something new for themselves. That is why it is so important to think through the topic in advance.
Goals and objectives of classroom hours in grade 3
Of course, the main goal of classroom hours as educational work is the formation of a comprehensively developed human personality. Regardless of the chosen topic, the following tasks should be followed at each lesson:
- development of mental and speech activity of students;
- helping children to develop their own "I";
- the formation of the concept of friendliness, solidarity, empathy and experience, mutual assistance, tolerance;
- the development of the ability to analyze current situations (to introduce the concept of introspection);
- communication development of the child;
- development of responsibility through the implementation of specific instructions.
How children will behave in a particular team depends only on the teacher. And to send the guys in the right direction and solve a number of problems at the initial stage will be possible with the help of classrooms.
Key Classroom Themes
The success of the lesson is largely determined by the subject of classroom hours. Grade 3 allows in the conditions of development of children to reveal the following topics:
- "Friendship and peer relationships."
- "What does it mean to be polite."
- "I and my family".
- "What is thrift."
- "What to become in the future."
- "Pedestrian and driver."
- "Russia is my homeland."
- "To protect nature - the commandment of the ancestors."
- "Red Book - a necessity or a whim?"
- "The world around us".
Based on thematic planning, a lesson summary is compiled, which reflects the goals and objectives of the event, as well as indicates the main stages of its implementation. If you think over everything in advance, the classroom hour will be not only useful, but also interesting for the children.
How to prepare a class hour on a given topic
Once the teacher has compiled thematic planning, you need to decide on the method of conducting the classroom. It can be:
- Conversations
- Mind games;
- tours;
- open class hours.
Grade 3 allows you to introduce students to a new form of the event - a dispute. In this case, it is very important to choose the right topic. It should be quite voluminous and consider a lot of opinions. The teacher also needs to remember that a dispute should not lead to a "bazaar", and even more so to fights. Therefore, using this method, you need to be extremely careful and constantly keep the situation under control.
When a method is selected, it is necessary to proceed directly to its development.
The main theme is interpersonal relationships.
Being at this stage of development, the child increasingly begins to look for friends. There is a division of the class into subgroups and very often intergroup conflicts can be observed . In order to prevent this from happening, the class teacher needs to provide class hours in the 3rd grade on the topic “Friendship”.
At such a cool event you can:
- consider literary works on this topic;
- talk about friendship and partnership;
- to understand the question of whether it is good to be alone;
- find the answer to the question of who is a friend;
- conduct a questionnaire on the topic "Do they want to be friends with me and why."
These are only exemplary aspects. Teachers who are interested in this event may benefit from the experience of colleagues. Class hour (Grade 3) "Friendship" will help children find answers to many questions.
Conversation as a classroom
Conversation is the main method of influencing elementary school students. Its presence also provides for a class hour (Grade 3). Friendship is not just the relationship of children in school. It is necessary through a dialogue between the class and the teacher to explain this concept in the broad sense of the word, to form a clear distinction between comrades and friends.
Very often, teachers, having planned a conversation with the guys, conduct a lecture lesson. In order to prevent this from happening, you need to carefully think over the classroom clock (Grade 3). Developments should be described with all the questions asked and the answers expected to them. Children between the ages of 9-10 are still led by the teacher, and therefore sometimes an incorrectly formulated question can ruin the whole conversation and lead it into the wrong direction.
Outdoor class hour
You can plan an open class hour in advance (Grade 3). Parents are foreseen in activities dedicated to the general orientation. Topics may include: “Serving Russia”, “Her Majesty Mom”, “Women's Day with Friends”, etc.
This kind of cool watch helps to strengthen the relationship between an adult and a child, allows you to reconsider your views on some aspects of success, discover new aspects of the personality, smooth out an incredulous attitude to each other.
Class hours in the 3rd grade must necessarily affect the emotional background of the child, contribute to the development of his interest in knowing himself and the world around him.
Intellectual game
In connection with the development of modern technologies, since childhood, children have become acquainted with such intellectual games as One Against All, What? Where? When? ”,“ Clever and clever. ” Spent class hours in the 3rd grade in a familiar form allow students to expand the boundaries of their knowledge and skills. And also this age category makes it possible to try yourself as a leader.
In this case, the teacher, together with the students, is engaged in the development and preparation of the classroom event. The presence of a script in the newly made presenter is mandatory, since the children are just starting to show themselves. Sometimes excessive excitement or the pursuit of excellence can provoke a number of problems and the event will not go according to plan.
The following topics may be suitable for this form of holding:
- "Red Book Animals."
- "In the world of professions."
- "I am a pedestrian."
- "The world around us".
Of course, each teacher can choose their own topic.
Imitation of intellectual games is very fond of grade 3. The topics of class hours should be announced in advance to students - this is the basic rule of success. Children should have time for independent study of the topic, through additional materials proposed by the teacher.
How to decide on the topics of class hours?
Of course, it will not be difficult for an experienced teacher to determine the topics of classroom hours in elementary school. But still, in addition to the age aspect, several more factors should be taken into account.
- At the parent meeting at the beginning of the year, it is necessary to discuss this issue together. Ask for advice on which classroom hours to spend open. The teacher should offer parents their plan of activities for the year.
- Taking into account the views of students. At the first class meeting, it is worth discussing with the children what events they would like to attend during the year. You can find out topics that interest the guys the most by questioning.
Only joint close-knit work of parents, students and the teacher can give positive results in raising children.
