Xixi's semester assignment is finally here!

Although Springfield Kindergarten does not arrange exams for children like the school, this semester is also a big homework for children who are about to enter the kindergarten class and have a certain amount of hands-on learning ability.

At the parent-teacher meeting some time ago, Mr. Mu explained this matter to the parents.

Today, Xixi came home from kindergarten with a homework card in her schoolbag that was similar to a task card.

Murphy took it, looked at it and said, "Yang Xi...... Children, please under the guidance and help of your parents, complete the task of observing the growth of small fish, the task cycle is one month, please take good care of the small fish, and at the same time make a record of the growth of the small fish, and finally flexibly use a variety of forms to make a task result report. ”

Xi Xi was jumping on the sofa on the side, as if she was still afraid that her mother wouldn't understand, and said with concern: "Ma Ma, the teacher said that we want to raise small fish." ”

Yang Yi touched his chin and said suspiciously: "Is this considered research? It should be a college or post-secondary school course, right? Why did kindergarten start to let children do this?"

Murphy smiled, turned over the cardboard to Yang Yi, and said: "It's normal, this is just a small study, you see that there are no special requirements on the homework card, so it is an open homework, and the main purpose is to stimulate children's interest in new things and cultivate their ability to do their own research." ”

Yang Yi said helplessly: "Xi Xi is only less than five years old, what ability can she do her own research? You look at the report of the results of this mission, Xi Xi can't even write a word, how can she write a report?"

Xixi blinked her eyes and listened to the conversation between her parents and her parents, and at this moment, the little girl pouted unconvincedly and said, "Baba, I can write, I can write my name!"

"Okay, but you won't be able to write anything other than your own name! In this way, won't you have to do this homework with your mother and father in the end?" Yang Yi said with some puzzlement.

"The report doesn't have to be completely textual!" Murphy patiently explained to Yang Yi, "Didn't the teacher say that the report can be completed in a variety of forms? You can also take pictures, record videos, and so on." ”

"Of course, this report must be the participation of parents, just like raising fish, without your guidance, how could Xixi raise fish? But this is a learning process, so that she insists on taking care of the small fish in this month, observing, and making records, etc. Murphy smiled, "Even if the final result is not satisfactory and the report is poor, it doesn't matter, the important thing is this process, Xixi can definitely learn a lot of things, and she will grow a lot." ”

When Murphy was a child, he received a Chinese-style education, which was not like the domestic test-taking education - in order to let the children get results in the exams, he usually assigned a lot of tedious homework, which put a heavy mountain of exercises on the children's shoulders.

In the past, Murphy had also done a lot of homework like Xixi, which required her own hands and research, and I have to say that although she didn't like all the research, it brought her many interesting memories after all, so she still recognized this teaching method.

Springfield Kindergarten is a kindergarten that combines Chinese and Western education, and Murphy and Yang Yi's original choice was not wrong.

"You're right, learn while playing!" Yang Yi was persuaded by Murphy's analysis, he nodded, and began to wonder if he should teach Xixi to learn to use cameras and other equipment, and he could buy Xixi a point-and-shoot card camera that was not very bulky.

Since it is Xixi's task, it is best to let Xixi do what she can as much as possible.

Xixi saw that her parents had finished discussing, she took her father's hand and asked suspiciously, "Baba, but, but we don't have any little fish!"

Yang Yi patted Xixi's little head, smiled slightly, and said: "It's very simple to ask for small fish! Tomorrow Dad will go to the flower and bird market to buy it for you, and when you come back from kindergarten tomorrow, you can see the small fish." ”

"Really!" Xixi looked at her father with joy.

......

The next day, on the way back from kindergarten, Xi Xi and Lan Xin, who were sitting in the back seat, were chattering: "Xin'er, do you want to come to our house to see Xiao Yuyu?

Lan Xin had a driver to take her home, but she liked to play with Xixi, so she "cruelly" refused her driver and insisted on taking the Tiger off-road vehicle driven by Uncle Yang Yi. It didn't work before, but now because everyone lives in a villa area, Yang Yi can send her home by the way, and Yang Yi has such a good relationship with Lanzhou Kai, after the driver asked the boss, he had to remove the child safety seat from his car and install it on Yang Yi's car.

"I don't want to look at your little fish. We also have it at home, and yesterday Grandma Wu said that she would buy me small fish. Lan Xin shouted.

Grandma Wu is the nanny of the Lan Xin family and a very good cook.

"Okay then......" Xixi was a little regretful, but her heart had already flown back home, looking forward to seeing her little fish.

Sending Lan Xin to her villa, Xixi finally returned to her home.

"Ma Ma, I'm back!" After the little girl with the small schoolbag got out of the car, she took the tail wagging and very jubilant buns, and trotted happily all the way, and before she took off her shoes, she couldn't wait to poke her little head and look inside.

Murphy was sitting on the sofa with his elbows propped up on his knees, looking at a beautiful fish tank on the coffee table, and when he heard the movement, he smiled and beckoned to his daughter: "Xixi, come here, see what this is." ”

Xixi forgot to take off her schoolbag, she happily squeezed into her mother's arms, and looked at the fish tank on the coffee table together.

There are four small goldfish swimming in the fish tank, which are really small, which are the seedlings of the goldfish. However, although it is small, each small goldfish looks different, there are golden, red, red and white spots, and white red spots.

You can't just buy one, Yang Yi is worried that Xixi will raise the goldfish to death, so buy a few more, at least there is a spare tire......

"It's so beautiful!" Xixi muttered as she looked at the four little goldfish with big eyes and a little confused.

"Ma Ma wanted to give the little goldfish a good environment, but it took a long time to build this fish tank with Baba! They used to live in a very ugly little plastic box. Murphy said to Xi Xi with a smile.

This big fish tank and the materials in it were bought back by Yang Yi, but they had to DIY it themselves, so the two idle couples fiddled with the fish tank for a long time, piled up small rockeries with keel stones, and some fake small aquatic plants.

It's just a simple landscaping, not trying to create an ecological fish tank. After all, they weren't fanatics of goldfish farming, so they didn't want to make it too complicated.

But it looks good, the little goldfish swim around in the middle of the rockery and fake aquatic plants, so pleasant.

Yang Yi walked in, just in time to hear Xixi say to his mother: "The small fish is good-looking, and then, and then this big fish tank is also good-looking." ”

The little girl also turned around, and while gesturing, she grinned a little embarrassedly: "Ma Ma, I thought Xiao Yuyu was going to live in our swimming pool!

"It's just such a small size of fish, living in a swimming pool, how can you find them to observe?" Yang Yiwan smiled.

In the evening, just when Xi Xi was looking at the little goldfish tirelessly, Lanzhou Kai called over.
