Reviews of open classes in kindergarten
I work in a kindergarten as a teacher. I love my profession very much and am proud of it. During the time that I have been working in kindergarten, I have conducted a lot of open classes, and I am very pleased with them. She conducted open classes for both parents and teachers on the continuity of kindergarten and school, and also held open classes for young professionals. And I’ll tell you for sure that they play a big role in raising children. All of them are very useful and necessary for us, educators. If your tasks in class are all solved, if your children are happy, that’s just wonderful! If your children feel good, then you should feel good too. It's my opinion! Open classes are very necessary!

Open classes are very exciting, but they are also an opportunity to show off and hear outside opinions about your work. Preparing for an open lesson is a search for new ideas and knowledge. And then, if a teacher works consistently and gives children knowledge from lesson to lesson, then he always has something to show.

A great activity that left me with the most positive emotions. Nadezhda Viktorovna told the children about the human senses in a very interesting and, most importantly, very accessible way. A lot of visual materials were used. Each child had the opportunity to touch, feel, smell, try everything, which, naturally, contributed to the best assimilation of new material.
I especially liked that during the lesson the children had the opportunity to move around and warm up, that the material was presented in different forms, and that there was repetition and consolidation of what had already been covered earlier.

Preparing an open lesson in kindergarten
An open lesson in a preschool educational institution is a specially prepared form of organizing the educational process, in which the teacher demonstrates to colleagues and parents of students his professional skills and the successes of his students. Unlike a regular lesson, an open event has a methodological goal, which reflects what the teacher wants to show those present.
Determining the purpose of an open lesson
The exact formulation of the goal is where you need to start preparing an open lesson. The goal of an open lesson is the expected result, which is determined in advance by the teacher.
When setting goals, the “here and now” principle is used. It means that all participants concentrate on the processes that happen to them in a specific place and at a specific time in order to achieve the best result.
For children, an open lesson is no different from a regular lesson, except for the presence of outside observers
The first step is the formulation of a methodological goal. It is able to reflect the basic methodology for conducting an open lesson. This step will allow you to:
Examples of methodological goals:
Depending on the methodological goal, the teacher selects the necessary educational material that will help in achieving it.
The second step is to determine the triune goal of the lesson. Its components:
The threefold goal is aimed at developing knowledge and practical experience in children. The teacher must specify it according to the topic and subject focus of the lesson.
Formulation of goals and objectives at three levels
The first level of formulating goals and objectives is general. It roughly looks like this:
The second level is directly theoretical. Possible wording for it:
Finally, the third level is practical. It is based on the formation of fundamental skills. Example:
X, Y, Z - symbols of possible topics, material, skills, abilities, etc.
Formulating the goals and objectives of an open lesson is the first step towards preparing an event
Techniques
During an open lesson, methodological techniques must be used. Their task is to update the material being studied or reinforced, to arouse children’s interest in the educational process, and to make it more exciting. The main methodological techniques include:
By skillfully using all these techniques, the teacher will be able to make the lesson not only as useful as possible, but also interesting.

In municipal preschool educational institutions, groups can have from 15 to 25 children. Each child has his own characteristics, personal qualities, inclinations, speed of learning, etc. Many educators and parents ask the question: is it possible to individualize activities during an open lesson? There is no exact answer to this question. The teacher has the right to independently determine the course of the lesson. Methodological techniques include taking into account the individual characteristics of each child, but often the teacher gives the same tasks of medium complexity that all children in the group can cope with.
