Chapter 523: Observing Xiaoyu's Homework (14)

Xixi's semester homework is finally here!

Although Chuntian Kindergarten does not arrange exams for children like schools, but this semester is also a big homework for children who are about to be promoted to large classes and have certain hands-on learning ability.

This matter, in the parent meeting some time ago, Mr. Mu explained to the parents.

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

Murphy took it over, looked at it and said, Yang Xi... children, please complete the task of observing the growth of the little fish under the guidance and help of your parents. The task cycle is one month. The growth of the small fish is recorded, and finally a variety of forms are flexibly used to produce a report on the results of the task.”

Xixi jumped up and down on the sofa, as if she was afraid that her mother would not understand, and said with concern: Mama, the teacher said, we want to raise small fish.

Yang Yi touched his chin, and said doubtfully, Is this research? It should be a course after college or middle school, right? Why does kindergarten start letting children do this?

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

Yang Yi said helplessly: Xixi is only five years old, what ability does she have to do research on her own? Look at the result report of this task, Xixi can't even write a word, how can she write a report?

Xixi blinked her big eyes and listened to her parents' conversation. At this moment, the little girl pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction and said, Baba, I can write, I can write my name!

Okay, but you won't be able to write other words except your own name! So, doesn't it mean that your mother and father will do the final homework for me? Yang Yi said with some puzzlement. .

The report doesn't have to be all text! Murphy explained to Yang Yi patiently, Didn't the teacher say that the report can be completed in various forms? You can also take pictures, record audio, record videos, etc.

Of course, this report definitely requires the participation of parents. It's like raising fish. Without your guidance, how could Xixi be able to raise fish? But it's all a learning process, so let her insist on doing a good job with her children this month. Fish care, observation, and record keeping, etc. Murphy laughed, Even if the final result is not ideal and the report is poorly done, it doesn't matter, the important thing is this process, Xixi can definitely learn a lot, and will grow a lot.

Murphy received an American-style education when he was a child, which is not like the domestic exam-oriented education. In order to allow children to get results in exams, he usually assigns a lot of tedious homework, which puts a heavy mountain of exercises on the children's shoulders.

In the past, Murphy had done a lot of homework, like Xixi, that needed to be done and researched by herself. I have to say, although not all the research she liked, but after all, it brought her many interesting memories, so she was very interested in the research. This method of teaching is still acceptable.

Chuntian Kindergarten is a kindergarten that combines Chinese and Western education. Murphy and Yang Yi's 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 how to use cameras and other equipment, and buy one for Xixi, which is not very good. A bulky point-and-shoot camera.

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

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

Yang Yi patted Xixi's little head, smiled slightly, and said, It's easy to ask for a little fish! Tomorrow, Dad will go to the flower and bird market to buy it for you. When you come back from kindergarten tomorrow, you can see the little fish.

Really! Xixi looked at her father with joy.

...

The next day, on the way back from kindergarten, Xixi and Lan Xin, who were sitting in the back seat, were chatting: Xiner, do you want to come to our house to see Xiaoyuyu? I Baba bought me a small fish fish!

Lan Xin had a driver to pick her up, but she liked to play with Xixi, so she brutally rejected 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 for some instructions, he had no choice but to take the children in his car. The safety seat was removed and installed on Yang Yi's car.

I don't want to look at your little fish. Our family has them too. Yesterday, Grandma Wu said she would buy me little fish. Lan Xin shouted.

Grandma Wu is the nanny of Lan Xin's family and a chef with good cooking skills.

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

After sending Lan Xin to her villa, Xixi finally returned to her own home.

Mama, I'm back! After the little girl with a small schoolbag got out of the car, she jogged happily all the way with her tail wagging and jubilant buns. Before she took off her shoes, she couldn't wait to stick her head. Looking inside.

Murphy was sitting on the sofa with his elbows on his knees, looking at a beautiful fish tank on the coffee table, when he heard the movement, he smiled and beckoned to his daughter: Xixi, come here and 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 around in the fish tank, they are really small, they are the seedlings of goldfish. However, although small, each small goldfish looks different, some are golden, some are red, some are red and white, and some are white and red.

You can't just buy one, Yang Yi is worried that Xixi will keep the goldfish dead, so buy a few more, at least there are spare tires...

It's so beautiful! Xixi murmured as she looked at the four little goldfish with her big eyes blurred.

Mama and Baba spent a long time building this fish tank in order to provide a good environment for the little goldfish! They used to live in an ugly plastic box. Murphy said to Xixi with a smile.

This big fish tank and the materials in it were bought by Yang Yi, but they had to DIY it by themselves, so the two couples who had nothing to do with their spare time fiddled with the fish tank for a long time, building small rockeries with keel stones, and some fake small aquatic plants.

It's just landscaping, not trying to create an ecological fish tank. After all, they are not avid fans of keeping goldfish, so they did not want to make it too complicated.

But it looks pretty good. The little goldfish is swimming around among the rockery and the fake aquatic plants. It looks very comfortable.

Yang Yi walked in, just in time to hear Xixi say to her mother, The little fish is good-looking, and then, this big fish tank is also good-looking.

The little girl also turned around, and while gesturing, she said a little embarrassedly: Mama, I thought Xiao Yuyu was going to live in our swimming pool! There is so much water there!

It's just such a tiny fish, living in a swimming pool, how can you find them to observe? Yang Yi smiled.

In the evening, when Xixi was watching the little goldfish happily, Lanzhou Kai called.
