When the three-foot podium welcomed special 'gardeners', with the sentiments of home and school colliding to spark the flame of nurturing, the 'Parents into the Classroom' event in the Junior High School Department of the east campus brought a unique vitality and warmth to the campus like the gentle spring rain.
First and foremost, parents from all walks of life, brimming with enthusiasm and care for their children, brought their professional expertise and life experiences into the campus and onto the podium, sharing with students from diverse perspectives, with professional knowledge and sincere dedication, and creating a series of growth feasts that went beyond textbooks, covering social life, science and technology, cultural heritage and health.
Meanwhile, a small classroom holds the universe while social and cultural education nurtures the soul. Parents either connected the past and the present to pass on cultural heritage, or focused on the present to popularize practical knowledge, allowing students to cultivate their character and grow into well-rounded and cultivated teenagers.
Besides, in the 'Wisdom from Ancient Books' class, parents selected inspiring anecdotes from classic ancient books and interpreted them with vivid language, highlighting the perseverance and responsibility of the ancients, which allowed the thousand-year-old cultural heritage to shine through the teenage years, nurturing the students' character and demeanor.
What's more, in the 'Juvenile Law and Social Rules' class, by using real cases from the campus and daily life, parents explained legal knowledge and social rules in a simple and understandable way, who taught students to distinguish right from wrong, abide by the law, and better protect their own rights by following the rules.
Evidently, science is the guiding light that illuminates growth, while technology is the engine that drives exploration. Parents broke down complex professional knowledge in simple language, igniting the enthusiasm for exploration with fun, and transforming the classroom into a scientific exploration paradise.
Moreover, the green bricks and dark tiles conceal wisdom. 'The Wisdom in Architecture' led students on an exploration journey through ancient buildings. From the ingenious craftsmanship of the mortise and tenon structure to the poetic charm of the brackets and eaves, from the grand layout of the Forbidden City to the technical essence of Zhaozhou Bridge, Chinese ancient architecture and traditional cultural knowledge were interwoven and integrated.
Furthermore, technology is advancing rapidly. In the 'Frontier Science Popularization on New Energy' class, parents avoided using obscure terms and focused on the daily visible applications of new energy, explaining the principles of energy conversion using vivid language in combination with real-life examples, thus allowing students to plant the seeds of love for science and the courage to explore in the process of asking questions out of curiosity and listening attentively.
As is known to all, life is the classroom, and health is the foundation. Also, life is full of variety. Parents integrated practical skills and knowledge into the classroom, providing students with a different kind of life experience.
In addition, 'Skilled packaging brings joy; sharing conveys warmth', parents used the 'Happy Box' to encapsulate games to arouse students' interest, guiding them to share the happy moments in their lives, creating personalized 'Happy Boxes', and sharing and preserving happiness within the 'Happy Packaging' process.
Later on, the fun baking and beverage-making class was a huge success. Parents who are skilled at cooking brought fruits, milk and other materials, teaching students how to make delicious beverages step by step, which transformed the ordinary ingredients into cups of sweet beverages. On the other hand, the students held their own creations in their hands, with expressions of satisfaction on their faces. Therefore, the scene was filled with laughter and joy.
In the meantime, growth requires both the accumulation of knowledge and the nourishment of the soul. Regarding how to deal with various troubles during the growth process, parents had their own ingenious solutions.
For one thing, in 'Emotional Management and Stress Coping', by integrating common scenarios in the school environment, parents guided students to learn the 'deep breathing relaxation method' and 'emotional diary method' to unlock the ways to cultivate their inner selves. Parents, in the role of 'guiding companions for growth', shared the solutions to youthful confusion, building a bridge of emotional communication with warm words.
For another, in the 'Tooth Protection Mini-Class', parents explained to the students about the structure of teeth, the causes of tooth decay, and other related knowledge, who also demonstrated the correct steps of the 'Bass Brushing Method' by addressing common problems faced by junior high school students, such as their love for sweet foods and incomplete tooth brushing. It's noteworthy that parents' sharing was sometimes amusing and sometimes thought-provoking. Accordingly, students widened their curious eyes with the crisp laughter echoing in every corner of the classroom.
Last but not the least, the dimensions of the 'Expansion Zone' class can enrich the background of growth. Not only was parents' participation in class the transmission of knowledge but also the companionship of love. The knowledge and experiences beyond the textbooks not only broadened students' horizons but also planted the seeds of exploring the unknown and pursuing dreams in their hearts, thus making the background of growth more colorful and splendid.
In conclusion, education is never a solo performance; Instead, it is a chorus performed by both the school and the parents working together. Thus, 'Parent In-Class Participation' is a warm and caring watchful eye, which is also a journey of unity. More remarkably, the 'Parent In-Class Participation' event in the Junior High School Department of the east campus has come to an end, however, the wonderful chapter of joint education between the school and the parents continues.
