Speaking of her son's changes, An Shaoli looked happy: "My son likes to play football. When he went out to play football with his friends, he always said, 'Mom, let them play with me.' But now Will say 'Hello, can you take me to play with you? '"
The subtle changes in language made An Shaoli deeply feel that her son's school "starts with habit-forming education and promotes quality. The magical power of education. This school is Dayan Pagoda Primary School in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province.
Promoting etiquette education: capturing moral images
"Chasing stars" is a unique landscape of Dayan Pagoda Primary School. However, what students are chasing is not entertainment stars, but "civilized etiquette stars", "civilized game stars", "safe walking stars", "environmental protection green stars" and so on. These "stars" are all campus stars discovered by the school's "Small Eyes, Big Focus" campus star-hunting series activities.
In a series of activities, the school occasionally uses overt and covert visits to focus the camera on the campus, randomly capturing images of campus civilized etiquette and footage of uncivilized behaviors, and making short videos and uploading them to the campus network for each class. Students watch discussions, learn from examples, and correct mistakes.

Among them, classic recitation is used to educate students. Based on the content of selected classics and the age characteristics of the students, the school establishes the focus of classic recitation in each grade: "Etiquette" in the first grade, "Love" in the second grade, and "Love" in the third grade. "Smart", "filial piety" in the fourth grade, "integrity" in the fifth grade, and "gratitude" in the sixth grade. In order to cooperate with this activity, the school independently developed the "Dayan Pagoda Primary School Etiquette and Culture Reader" and the "Good Children and Good Songs" folding manual with nearly one million words, providing strong support for the implementation of classic recitation.
The mother of Liu Zhiyuan, a fourth grade (8) student, works at a university in Xi'an and is particularly concerned about her children's reading: "I originally asked my children to read for half an hour every day, which coincides with school activities. Every time I discuss how to cultivate and guide children's interest in reading with Chinese teachers, there is a strong excitement, which makes me feel very happy."
Creating a harmonious campus: moisturizing things silently. Love
"My son is relatively introverted, shy, and unwilling to communicate with others." Ye Bibo, the mother of Wang Yidong, a student in Class 1, Grade 3, told reporters.
However, the teacher did not ignore Wang Yidong or deliberately enlighten him, but used activities to influence him bit by bit. For example, let him collect homework books; let him shake the rope in the school skipping competition. "These are all to strengthen his interaction with his classmates, and they are all done in a gentle and silent way of 'love'." Ye Bibo said movedly.
In order to create a harmonious teacher-student relationship more systematically, the school specially organized the "Being a Sunshine Star" activity, advocating teachers to use a "magnifying glass" to find the "sparkling points" of each child, thus creating There are many painting stars, dancing stars, science and technology stars, environmental protection stars, writing stars, smiling stars and reading stars, etc. It can be said that "everyone is a star, all shining brightly".

Li Yunxi, a student in Class 3 (2), likes calligraphy and clay sculpture very much. Before entering Dayan Pagoda Primary School, her mother Li Yingzi planned to enroll her daughter in calligraphy and clay sculpture tutoring classes outside the school. "The price is very expensive. Two classes in one year may cost about 10,000 yuan." Li Yingzi said, "Later I asked the class teacher and found out that there is no need to sign up for extracurricular classes because the school has already opened calligraphy and clay sculpture interest groups. , except for the material fee, we don’t charge a penny more.
"
In order to improve the quality of students, the school has set up "three-level interest" group activities based on the age characteristics of students: the first level is "class interest" that stimulates interest and broadens horizons; the second level is to strengthen interest , "Grade-level interest" that focuses on teamwork; the third level is "school-level interest" that focuses on ability cultivation and innovative practice
Building a linkage system: gathering the synergy of education
< p> When talking about how to deepen nurturance education, Yan Jianfeng told reporters: "The school insists on starting from the students' reality, taking school education as the leading, family education as the basis, and social education as the extension, and establishing 'school, family, society' Trinity three-dimensional education network. ""Uncle, please don't throw scraps of paper everywhere. "Recently, Fan Yichen, a student in Grade 6 (8) of Dayan Pagoda Primary School, participated in the school's "Bend Over" environmental protection team activity with his classmates in the Dayan Pagoda Square not far from the school. He persuaded a student to throw away paper scraps.
At first, the young man blamed the primary school students for being nosy, but with the polite persuasion of more than a dozen primary school students, the young man not only picked up the scraps of paper and threw them into the trash can, but also gave them a thumbs up. Thumbs up.
The "Bend Over" theme activity trains students to start from small things and encourage them to develop good habits of not littering and actively bending down to pick up garbage during class breaks. Students wearing the "Bend Over" environmental protection team armbands can be seen in Ta Primary School, active in every corner of the campus, actively picking up garbage on the ground, and during major festivals, they will also go to public places near the school to pick up garbage. Scraps of paper.
“I feel that what you bend down to pick up is not a piece of paper, but a kind of civilization. " Fan Yichen said.
"This is just a microcosm of the school's extension of nurturing education to society. " Yan Jianfeng said, "By participating in social welfare activities, establishing social practice activity bases, and opening ideological education bases, students can serve the society and repay the society, and obtain support and assistance from all aspects of society for school development education. ” (Reporters Ke Chang Wan Yu Yue Kun Feng Li)
