Middle kindergarten group. Classes in the middle group


Features of the middle group

In the activities of four-year-old children, an important place is occupied by teaching correct behavior at home and in public places. At the same time, they develop organization and responsibility. Teachers explain to children what to do in certain situations and what not to do. During classes and in free activities, the teacher works to develop the creative abilities of pupils in the middle group of the kindergarten.

Middle group of kindergarten: image of a pupil

At this age the child is fully formed. Each has its own character, certain preferences and tastes. Four-year-old children are very active and want to make many friends. Often their activity confuses not only educators, but also parents. Children of four years old practically conquer one height after another. Today it was the back of the sofa, tomorrow it was the window sill, then a heated towel rail in the bathroom, a computer desk. Children want to explore everything. Often such actions are destructive. It is at such moments that many parents begin to send their children to kindergarten groups, where the children’s activities are filled with communication with peers and a variety of activities in which they can release their energy.

Physical development

At this age, the child is physically active. He is able to run, while coordinating and coordinating the work of his legs and arms, jump on two legs, play with a ball and throw it a short distance with his right and left hands, climb the Swedish stairs, climb over various objects, line up in pairs, line up in a circle or line. During this period, some children are already successfully mastering a two-wheeled bicycle.

A number of children show higher data, they develop somewhat faster than their peers, master skills better and faster and absorb information. This does not mean that children who meet the requirements of the middle group program are lagging behind in development and learning. On the contrary, it is the more developed children who stand out from the average level. This is normal and natural, all children are different, and this is not a reason for parents to panic and compare their son or daughter with more developed peers. If the baby meets the level of knowledge of his age, then everything is normal. Small deviations with a minus sign may also occur. Only a strong discrepancy between the child’s age and the level of his physical and mental development should cause alarm.

Math classes

Various activities are organized for all kindergarten students. If we talk about mathematics, it can be noted that in the younger group, educators give children basic knowledge in this area, while the middle group assumes the complication of tasks in the formation of elementary mathematical concepts. Mathematics classes include learning to distinguish the constituent parts of a certain group of objects and the formation of concepts of similarities and differences between them. The teacher develops knowledge that a group of objects is larger than the individual thing that is part of it. Already at this age, children are taught to count to ten.

Speech development

The middle group of kindergarten involves planning the activities of the teacher in such a way as to give children basic knowledge of sounds and syllables, as well as sentences. In stories from personal experience, children are encouraged to use not only direct but also indirect speech. Attention is paid to ensuring that children actively use different types of complex sentences when communicating. The middle group of kindergarten involves developing skills in retelling literary works with simple plots.

Development of coherent and clear speech

  • Correctly and clearly articulates the sounds of his native language. There may be some difficulties in pronouncing some complex sounds, such as hissing. Also, some children do not pronounce “l” and “r” clearly.
  • Knowledge of singular and plural numbers. The ability to generalize objects into groups and voice their common name: dolls and cubes - toys, spoons and mugs - dishes, table and chair - furniture and so on.
  • Compose competent sentences and small coherent texts.
  • Make retellings, as well as descriptions of pictures and objects.
  • Answer the teacher’s questions about the work you read.
  • Know short children's poems by heart.

Educational, developmental and training tasks

The functions of a preschool teacher are varied. Among the main ones I would like to note is ensuring the physical development of children. The teacher must promptly teach children to perform basic movements. Particular attention is paid to the formation of basic cultural and hygienic skills. The middle group of kindergarten assumes a daily routine that harmoniously fits the tasks of developing the cognitive activity of pupils. The work of a teacher involves expanding children's knowledge about people, phenomena and objects. He also teaches how to identify the features of objects through sensory examination, elementary analysis and comparison.

What does a teacher teach four-year-old children?

Pupils of the middle group develop independence skills. Classes are conducted to teach them different ways of doing things. Self-service skills are gradually developed in children. Particular attention is paid to teaching game actions. All tasks can be found in the program by finding the “Middle Group” section there. Games are presented in blocks. It is indicated which of them need to be planned during physical education classes, which ones - during a walk and during free activity. Manual labor also occupies an important place in the middle group of kindergarten. During its organization, the teacher solves many educational, developmental and educational tasks. Such activities contribute to the formation of a friendly atmosphere in the team. Manual labor in the middle group is attractive to children because it provides an opportunity to show individuality and creativity. Speech development classes are organized according to a program appropriate for a given age group. Teachers also formulate children’s ideas about a healthy lifestyle. The program for a kindergarten involves planning the activities of the teacher in such a way that it contributes to the full development of each pupil. This is possible due to compliance with the regime, which is compiled for the middle group, taking into account the characteristics of its pupils.

Age features of development of children 4-5 years old (middle group)

Age features of development of children 4-5 years old (middle group)

A 4-5 year old child has an idea of ​​how he should (shouldn’t) behave and the peculiarities of sexual behavior. What stands out in the behavior of his peers and his own is his non-compliance with norms and rules. He gets emotional when he doesn’t act “as he should.” Children's mutual control over each other's behavior increases. Without an adult’s reminder, he is able to put away toys, perform work duties, and complete work. However, during the activity itself, he may be distracted by more interesting activities. In interactions with others, he exhibits (but not always) socially approved forms of behavior.

Educational field "physical development"

The “Physical Development” direction includes two educational areas: “Health” and “Physical Education”.

The content of the educational field “Health” is aimed at achieving the protection of children’s health and forming the basis of a culture of health through solving the following tasks:

• maintaining and strengthening the physical and mental health of children;

• education of cultural and hygienic skills;

• formation of initial ideas about a healthy lifestyle.

The content of the educational field “Physical Education” is aimed at achieving the goals of developing children’s interest in physical education, harmonious physical development through solving problems:

• development of physical qualities (speed, strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination);

• accumulation and enrichment of children's motor experience (mastery of basic movements);

• developing in pupils the need for physical activity and physical improvement[2].

In all forms of organizing motor activity, it is necessary not only to form children’s motor skills and abilities, but also to cultivate purposefulness, independence, initiative, and develop the ability to maintain friendly relationships with peers.

In the fifth year of life, the child’s movements become more confident and coordinated. Attention becomes more and more stable, visual, auditory and tactile perception improves, and targeted memorization develops. Children are already able to distinguish between different types of movements and identify their elements. They develop an interest in the results of the movement and the need to perform it in accordance with the model. All this allows you to begin learning the technique of performing basic movements and developing their quality. The knowledge gained in classes about the importance of physical exercise for the human body helps to cultivate the need to be healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle. Teachers need to continue the work begun in the younger group to improve children’s health. To do this, it is necessary to carry out daily: walks in the air in accordance with the daily routine, a set of hardening procedures; morning exercises lasting 6-8 minutes.

The main form of systematic teaching of physical exercises to children is integrated activity, which consists of three parts: introductory, main and final. In each of them, a certain level of development of the child’s integrative qualities is achieved. Duration - 20-25 minutes.

In the middle group, three physical education activities are held per week, one of them is a walk. The duration of each part increases compared to the previous year due to the complexity of the exercises, the development of movement techniques and the increase in execution time.

By the end of the fifth year, children can:

• walk and run, observing the correct technique of movements;

• climb the gymnastic wall without missing the slats, climbing from one flight to another; crawl in different ways: leaning on your hands, knees and toes, on your feet and palms; on your stomach, pulling yourself up with your arms;

• take the correct starting position when jumping from a place, land softly, and long jump from a place to a distance of at least 70 cm;

• catch the ball with your hands from a distance of up to 1.5 m; take the correct starting position when throwing, throw objects in different ways with the right and left hand; hit the ball on the ground (floor) at least five times in a row;

• perform exercises for static and dynamic balance;

• line up in a column one at a time, in pairs, in a circle, in a line;

• slide independently along ice paths (length 5 m);

• ski at a sliding step for a distance of up to 500 m, perform a turn by stepping, climb a hill;

• ride a two-wheeled bicycle, make turns right and left;

• navigate in space, find the left and right sides;

• come up with options for outdoor games, perform movements independently and creatively;

• perform simulation exercises, demonstrating beauty, expressiveness, grace, and plasticity of movements.

Mastering and improving abilities and skills in basic types of movements, outdoor games and sports exercises should be provided for in all forms of work organized by the teacher: in physical education classes, on a morning walk, during individual work on an evening walk.

Educational field "Social and communicative development"

Work

The main goal of labor education in preschool age is the formation of a positive attitude towards work. The implementation of this goal is carried out through solving the following tasks:

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

FORMATION OF ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS

The section “Formation of elementary mathematical concepts” is one of the components of the content of the educational area “Cognition”. The development of elementary mathematical concepts is of great importance in the mental education of children.

The goal of the elementary mathematics program is to develop methods of mental activity, creative and variable thinking based on attracting children's attention to the quantitative relationships of objects and phenomena in the world around them. The goal is achieved through solving the following tasks:

- formation of an idea of ​​the number of objects of different colors, sizes, shapes;

— development of the ability to determine the equality or inequality of parts of a set;

- development of the ability to count objects from a large number (based on clarity);

— improving the ability to compare objects by size;

— expansion of ideas about geometric shapes;

— development of the ability to navigate in space and time.

A condition for the successful implementation of a program in elementary mathematics is the organization of a special subject-development environment in groups in the kindergarten area for direct action of children with specially selected groups of objects and materials in the process of mastering mathematical content.

In the average group, the duration of the lesson is 15-20 minutes. Didactic games are widely used in the learning process.

By the end of the year, five-year-old children can:

• distinguish what parts a group of objects is made of, name their characteristic features (color, shape, size);

• count to 5 (quantitative counting), answer the question “How many in total?”;

• compare two groups by individually correlating objects (making pairs);

• arrange 3-5 objects of various sizes (length, width, height) in ascending (descending) order; talk about the size of each item in the row;

• distinguish and name triangle, circle, square, rectangle; ball, cube, cylinder; know their characteristic differences;

• find objects in the environment that are similar to familiar figures;

• determine the direction of movement from yourself (right, left, forward, backward, up, down);

• distinguish between left and right hands;

• identify parts of the day.

Educational field "Speech development"

Development of productive activities: drawing, modeling, appliqué,

Atmosphere in the middle group of kindergarten

Among the tasks that the teacher solves, a special place is occupied by the development of relationships between four-year-old children. He teaches them to coordinate actions, accept a common goal and strictly follow it. The teacher makes sure that every child is able to experience joy from the results of joint activities and treat everything around him kindly. It teaches kids to respond emotionally to the states of other people and to show kind feelings towards plants and animals. In the course of joint activities, the teacher develops children’s creative expressions and fosters interest in participating in various games. He also encourages students to engage in artistic activities, teaches them to experience success and joy from the fact that they managed to realize their plans.
