The history of mankind is inextricably linked with the history of nature. At the present stage, the issues of its traditional interaction with a person have grown into a global environmental problem. If people in the near future do not learn to take care of nature, they will destroy themselves. And for this it is necessary to cultivate an ecological culture and responsibility.

The currently rapidly developing ecological crisis has put mankind in a very difficult position. One of the serious manifestations of this crisis is its negative impact on human health. Attempts to force people to comply with environmental requirements are not always effective precisely because consciousness and culture have not reached the level where a person perceives these requirements as his internal need, and not as a duty. And we must reorient this task - to protect nature - to protect not from a person, but for a person.

This can be done through environmental education, enlightenment and education. This is a large, lengthy and labor-intensive work, in which institutions of the educational and cultural system, environmental structures, and public organizations take part. Libraries play a key role in this process.

Environmental education activities will always be relevant; it may include, depending on the status and specifics of the library, the following areas:

1. Implementation of environmental education of the population, especially young people, through the organization of mass, group events;
2. Improvement of information work;
3. Active promotion of environmental protection activities to state authorities of the region, public and other non-profit associations, legal entities and individuals;
4. Establishing new contacts and improving interaction with other institutions engaged in professional activities in the field of environmental protection, scientific and educational institutions, cultural institutions, the media, participants in the public environmental movement;
5. Systematic participation in specific practical actions for nature protection;
6. Production of printed and advertising products;
7. Identification of potentially significant traditional and electronic environmental resources, including local databases maintained by specialized institutions and organizations, as well as similar databases accessed via the Internet;
8. Coverage of work in the media;
9. Creation of information products on ecology and environmental protection:

o thematic collections of materials identified from periodicals on ecology, environmental protection;

o environmental digests - fragments of the texts of many environmental documents, selected on certain environmental topics and topical environmental problems of the region, not provided with generalizing publications, in the logic and area of ​​interest of real or potential users;

o factographic databases on long-term environmental programs in which this region participates, maintain file cabinets of organizations, institutions, public organizations of environmental profile.

Education of love for nature and the beauty of the surrounding world in the library begins with design her interior. Effectively designed space with original plants in beautiful flower pots and vases, walls decorated with flower arrangements, window sills, showcases, cosily organized "green corners" - all this evokes a feeling of familiarization with the wonderful world of wildlife. The stand “Nature is our common home” is appropriate, which contains detailed information about the environmental activities of the library.

The attention of library visitors will be attracted by the “Living in harmony with nature” corner, where you can present a collage of books, photographs, and illustrations. Arranged flower arrangements will give a special charm to the corner with a caring hand. Of course, arrange exhibitions of books and magazines, the names of which speak for themselves: "The road to the reserve", "Russia: the health of nature and people", "Rivers and people - clean water!"

Work with the reference and bibliographic apparatus on ecology remains one of the most important links in librarianship: a systematic card file of articles with sections on environmental topics with special sections "Man and Environmental Protection", "Nature and Natural Resources", "Nature Protection".

Readers should be informed about the availability of new literature in the fund through information days held in the library.

· "The world around us is beautiful"

· "We are your friends, nature"

· "In the arms of native nature"

Public events play a special role in the environmental work of the library:

¾ Ecological promotions become a tradition for libraries, where they move from library methods to active actions. Actions make a real contribution to improving the environmental situation.

¾ Evening of questions and answers "Ecological and economic crisis: do you have a future?"

¾ Round table “Ecology of modern life: do we live right? And is it possible to live differently? (It is advisable to invite environmental specialists, university and school teachers, department employees, etc. to such events, they can describe the objective environmental situation in the region, locality, etc.)

¾ musical living room "" The beautiful captivates forever "(use both visual and sound images, as well as moral, aesthetic, psychological aspects of influencing the readership)

¾ the Crow Porridge holiday, which includes an ecological marathon in nature, a theatrical game, hanging feeders, an eco-walk.

¾ competition of creative works "Beads and bracelets from the box of summer" (the purpose of the competition: the education of a socially active, creative personality; crafts made from natural materials can be very diverse: fairy-tale characters, various animals, and even entire plot compositions).

Ecological education in libraries takes on new forms that enhance the emotional impact, as they combine the problems of nature conservation, art and books. For example, the drawing competition “We are for a world without chemical weapons”, a wall newspaper competition, photo contests and photo exhibitions: “In the world of flowers”, “In our native land”, “The cleanliness and beauty of our village (city)”, the florist competition “Man-Made Beauty” , multimedia lessons "Let's save our planet", phytobar, etc.

Many Russian and foreign writers, such as V. V. Bianki, K. G. Paustovsky, I. S. Sokolov-Mikitov, N. I. Sladkov, M. M. Prishvin, E. E. Seton-Thompson, D. M. Darrell and others dedicated their work to nature. These writers in their works were able to describe it in all its diversity and originality, so the books of these writers help to conduct various environmental lessons, talks, book reviews, quizzes, organize book exhibitions.

Work on environmental education, as a rule, is activated during the period of Days of protection from environmental hazards. The beginning of the action can be marked by holding a discussion or a round table.

In continuation of the action, initiate environmental landings, actions, raids and environmental patrols:

¾ "Clean street",

¾ "Clean coast",

¾ "Clean yard",

¾ "The best defense is care"

¾ "Clean land - clean yard",

¾ "Clean village",

¾ "The best front garden", etc.

Actions and raids will be more successful the more social partners will connect to it. This year, cleaning and landscaping should also be timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Victory.

practical value for readers, for example:

¾ digest "Ecology-2015",

¾ list of scenarios "Ecology-2015",

¾ bibliographic list of articles published in the local press over the past 5 years,

¾ environmental guides, etc.

More and more libraries create electronic resources on ecology, web projects and web pages, for example, the Ecoculture website (http://www.ecoculture.ru/ecoeducation/work/experience.php) contains a list of environmental projects and environmental pages libraries.

The effectiveness of any environmental protection measures largely depends on the environmental awareness and environmental culture of the population, including the younger generation.

Environmental education should instill in people, first of all, knowledge and skills of reasonable communication with nature, improve methods and methods of constructive participation in nature protection and rational nature management. “We must cultivate our garden,” said the great French philosopher and writer Voltaire in his work “Candide”, this phrase could become the motto of environmental education and upbringing. It should be noted, of course, that he had in mind the intellectual, spiritual garden, which every person must cultivate in himself in order to become a person and realize all his possibilities. It is ecological education and enlightenment that should play a major role in the formation of today's Man.

Nature Watching (November)

Average date

The calendar of nature as a condition for the formation of the development of observation and environmental literacy of the child

Problem:

What is weather and what does it depend on?

Target:

Formation in children of elementary ideas about the weather and its significance in human life

Tasks:

Development of the ability to observe nature, analyze the data obtained, highlight significant features and draw conclusions based on them;

Development of understanding of the materiality of the world and the unity of processes occurring in animate and inanimate nature;

Development of the ability to use their experience and the experience of previous generations in weather forecasting;

Use sign-symbolic means to create models of objects and processes under study.

Hypothesis:

Suppose that the calendar of nature contributes to the development of observation, environmental literacy of the child.

Expected result:

Children should get elementary ideas about the weather and its significance in human life;

Children should acquire the skills to use a thermometer to observe the weather;

Have the simplest ideas about air temperature, wind direction, precipitation;

Know signs, proverbs, sayings about the weather;

Project participants:

Children of the pre-school preparation group (age 6-7 years)

Project duration: 1 year

The work on the project was based on the following principles:

the principle of individualization - the disclosure of the personal potential of each child;

the principle of problematicity - activation of mental functions, stimulation of cognitive processes, development of creative abilities;

the principle of accessibility - taking into account the real mental capabilities of preschool children, their level of preparedness and development;

the principle of cooperation is focusing on the priority of the individual, creating favorable conditions for its development.

Project content

In preschool education, the process of mastering nature includes an element of its knowledge, the development of a careful attitude towards it and consciously correct behavior in the natural environment.

One of these forms of work was project activities, which made it more attractive and interesting for children to study many topics, including observing the weather.

A child of older preschool age knows about the change of seasons, but is not always able to notice this change on his own. Teachers need to draw his attention to the natural sequence of growth and development of all living things, the dependence of the state of living organisms on seasonally changing environmental factors. One week of each month in the class is planned:

keep daily observations of the weather;

study vegetation (trees, shrubs) and land cover in the middle of the week;

observe animals and birds of the surrounding world (at the end of the week);

daily work with the weather calendar.

Watching the weather, children learn to identify individual phenomena, their degree of intensity and other characteristics. Children observe not only the weather phenomena themselves, but also their effect on surrounding objects. Weather observations consist of determining the state of the sky, the presence or absence of precipitation and wind, the degree of heat and cold. The degree of heat and cold is determined by a thermometer.

Daily observations of the weather should be organized in a lively, varied way so that the activity of children does not decrease, but interest in observations increases.

The work on the project was carried out in the following stages:

1. Introductory (organizational) stage

Creating conditions for the work of children to study the weather. Drawing up a long-term plan of work on this problem

2. Practical

3. Analytical

1. Introductory (organizational) stage

At this stage, methodological, popular science material on the topic under study was collected.

The main requirements for the organization of weather observation are identified.

A long-term plan of work on the project was drawn up.

Teacher of biology and ecology at MBOU "Natural and Mathematical Lyceum No. 20" in Pskov, head of the environmental association of schoolchildren "Green Patrol".

“This book presents versatile material on the most important problems of nature conservation. The facts and examples of both negative and positive human impact on the environment are given. The main problems of nature protection are considered in the presentation of many famous scientists, writers, public figures. The book contains many original illustrations. For my students, members of the Green Patrol environmental association, and for me, this is a reference book in our activities.”

Assistant at the Department of Technosphere Safety, Pskov State University.

“There are more than 50,000 professions in the modern world. All of them are interesting in their own way. Someone dreams of becoming a doctor, someone is an artist, someone likes to study history. In high school, I became interested in issues related to ecology, so after graduating from school, I entered the direction of "Engineering Environmental Protection" without hesitation.

I chose the profession of an ecologist, because the demand for professional ecologists in the domestic labor market will only increase in the future. Because environmental problems are becoming global day by day.”

Natalya Sergeevna recommends reading the book by Yu.N. Gladky and S.B. Lavrov "Give the planet a chance!". Many problems concern mankind today: is hunger threatened by the ever-growing population of the Earth? For how many years is the industry provided with raw materials? What is the prospect of energy development? Can the resources of the oceans help to solve these problems? Are all problems closely related to the solution of the most important problem of mankind - environmental. After all, the life and health of not only the present, but also the future generation depends on whether we manage to preserve the nature around us.

Svetlana Alexandrovna says: “I grew up in a large family, there were four of us in the family. Since childhood, my life has been closely connected with nature, as my parents and I always went to the forest for mushrooms, berries, nuts. On these short walks, I always asked a lot of questions: What is this weed? Whose house is this? Where does the hedgehog live? I have always wanted to learn more about the life of animals and plants. And then my parents gave me an amazing book for my birthday - "Stories and Tales" by Vitaly Bianchi, and it helped me find out the answers to many questions.

Fairy tales and stories of the children's writer Vitaly Valentinovich Bianchi remained in the memory of many generations. These wonderful stories help children understand the mysterious language of nature, develop interest in it and observation, and most importantly, these stories help unravel the most secret secrets of nature.

Deputy Director for monitoring fire danger and extinguishing forest fires of the State Autonomous Institution "Fire Prevention Forest Center".

As a child, Alexander Anatolyevich spent most of his time in the summer in the forest, picking berries, mushrooms and just walking. The love for nature, the forest and all living things, born in early childhood, influenced the choice of profession.

Alexander Anatolyevich recommends our readers to read Mikhail Prishvin's book "The Pantry of the Sun": “This is perhaps the most famous book about nature. Prishvin is trying to draw the attention of the young reader to the extraordinary greatness of Russian nature, to instill love for her. The heroes of the story are two orphaned children Mitrash and Nastya. Mitrasha constantly teaches his sister. He tells her a lot of what his father told him. Prishvin describes the forest in great detail. He pays attention to every berry and every leaf, and this is valuable. After reading this book, I became even more fond of nature, and this was the reason for choosing my profession, namely forestry engineer.”

Specialist in environmental education and tourism of the Federal State Budgetary Institution Sebezhsky National Park.

Irina Alekseevna recommends to readers the book by S. T. Aksakov "Stories about native nature." There are 10 stories in the book: "Winter", "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn", "Water", "Swamps", "Steppe", "Forest", "Hunting", "Uzhenye". Aksakov vividly and colorfully described the Russian forest, amazingly subtly and accurately noticed the characteristic features of bird voices, memorable portraits of individual tree species.

The extraordinary freshness, simplicity and deep observation of the author, as it were, introduce the reader into the secret life of nature, make him listen to the murmur of spring streams and the clear voices of birds, to feel the hidden life of the forest, to note the secluded corners and wide expanses of our homeland, amazing in their beauty.

Irina Alekseevna remarks: “I think that in our time, nature needs to be given much more attention, protected, protected and appreciated. In the frantic pace of life, not noticing the simple beauty of nature, we simply take it for granted. After reading this book, one cannot remain indifferent to nature.

Yuri Vasilyevich Maslov (pseudonym - Yuri Maslov-Ostrovich)- a native of the city of Ostrov, Pskov region. Lives in Yaroslavl. Biologist, writer-naturalist, television journalist-ecologist, head of the Yaroslavl regional branch of the Guild of Environmental Journalism of the Media Union. Author of popular science books "Animal World of the Yaroslavl Region", "Rivers of the Yaroslavl Region", as well as a collection of stories about animals "Gingerbread for the Elephant".

Yuri Vasilyevich says: “The choice of profession was influenced by the example of my grandfather, who knew nature very well. Living in the village, he observed the weather, the life of animals and plants and sent information to St. Petersburg - to the famous professor Dmitry Kaigorodov, the founder of Russian phenology (the science of seasonal natural phenomena) and the creator of the All-Russian network of amateur phenologists.

Yuri Vasilievich recommends to young readers a series of books by Igor Akimushkin "The World of Animals", in which the author, a professional zoologist and popularizer of scientific knowledge, talks in an accessible and fascinating way about the diversity of animals on the planet. This information is not only interesting, but also important: after all, biological diversity is one of the main concepts of environmental science and nature conservation.

- veterinarian, co-founder of the Autonomous non-profit animal protection organization "Chance", which is a socially oriented non-profit organization created for an integrated approach to solving the problem of stray animals.

Ekaterina Dubik says: “My name is Ekaterina, I am 28 years old, I am a veterinarian. Now I work in the Veta veterinary office, I love my profession very much and I can’t imagine that I could do something else, but it wasn’t always like that.

I have had a love for animals since childhood. I was friends with stray cats and treated them to ice cream. Until now, many of the inhabitants of our yard live in my memory, for example, an old cat Katya and a large striped cat Kvaka, named by me because of his voice. Sometimes I brought home selected animals to eat and rest, but I was not allowed to leave them at all, and I dreamed of my own. Of course, such frequent contact with cats and dogs could not but affect me, so I decided that I would certainly treat animals when I grew up.

In high school, the dream of becoming a veterinarian gave way to other dreams, and I went to study as an interpreter, forgetting about my childhood decision. However, the reverent attitude towards animals, instilled since childhood, did not leave, and soon I met people who treat, feed and house homeless animals. I really wanted to help them, and that's how I got to know Zooprotection and their work. A few years later, we created the Chance organization, which now takes stray dogs off the streets, treats them and finds a home for them. Over all these years, we have managed to save so many unfortunate people, and this is a great pride for me.

Working with animal advocates, I realized how defenseless animals are in front of people, that in order to help the weak, you do not need to be rich or strong, you do not need to be successful or beautiful, you just need to be compassionate and want to help. Then I realized that I do not see my life cut off from animals and that only one profession is possible for me - a veterinarian.

When I learned and started working in my specialty, another discovery happened for me: it turned out that pets sometimes need help no less than homeless ones, and now I can be useful to them too. For me, there is no greater joy than seeing the happy faces of my patients and there is no greater reward than the feeling of satisfaction from my work.

Catherine recommends to our readers the book by James Heriot "On all creatures, great and small". These are the notes of a veterinarian practicing in the English provinces. 30-60 years of the last century. With love and humor, the author, a veterinarian by profession, talks about pets and their relationship with humans. In his book, he shares with readers his memories of episodes that occur in the practice of a veterinarian. Despite the seemingly rather prosaic plots, the doctor's attitude towards four-legged patients and their owners - sometimes warm and lyrical, sometimes sarcastic - is conveyed very subtly, with great humanity and humor. Love for one's profession, involvement in the suffering of sick animals, joy or sadness about their condition are conveyed so vividly that the reader feels like a direct participant in the ongoing events.

Coordinator of the environmental movement "Circle of Life". The Circle of Life is an all-Russian environmental movement in which waste paper and plastic are exchanged for tree and shrub seedlings. The goal of the Movement is to improve the living environment.

Maxim told us a not very romantic, but very honest story about why he chose a job related to ecology and nature conservation and why it is important that every person realizes the importance of caring for nature:

“Since childhood, I like to have order at home. And the only question is what is "home". Fortunately, I realized long ago that these are not only walls and ceilings, but also that there is nature around them. And in my adult life, I, a radio electronics engineer by education, began to delve into the issues of ecology and a healthy lifestyle especially diligently after I earned myself a stomach ulcer at the age of 25.

People of modern megacities often imagine nature in a detached way - as something far away, where you can sometimes go. There is no clear understanding that nature is also what every day is on our table for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All our food is taken from nature. From berries in summer to bread with milk every day. And then it turns out that nature is not so far away, right?

“I want to write about a book for older kids. About the book "Heritage" of our compatriot and contemporary Sergei Sergeevich Tarmashev. Young men now, in principle, read less, and, perhaps, they should be advised to read something that will actually hook them. And what catches the most is what is happening in our time around us. Something in which we are directly involved. If you like - what we eat.

"Heritage" is a science book and a fantasy book. But it is also about nature. More precisely, about what humanity is doing with nature, invading genetic engineering and tons of garbage into natural processes. And what it can lead to in a dozen or two years. Yes, and already leads.

Do you know exactly and succinctly what GMOs, pesticides and herbicides are? What will happen to us and our children if we continue to develop agriculture based on all these things, and then eat its products for food? What will happen to our children and grandchildren if we continue to mindlessly litter our common home - the planet? Will there be children and grandchildren then? And the planet? And do something what? At least think and study.

To begin with, I propose to read the book "Heritage" by Sergei Tarmashev, created on the basis of real research by biologists. The book is sobering, makes you think and grow up. And certainly awakens the natural worldview. Only with such a worldview, we all have a possible future.

When a mug of milk with bread and fresh berries will not cause concern, but will delight with its benefits, taste, and pleasant memories of summer.”

Zinovieva Elena Igorevna - teacher of biology "Border-customs-legal lyceum".

Elena Igorevna says: “I am a teacher in the third generation. Grandmother was a geography teacher, mother was a biology teacher. Mom loved flowers very much, she knew the name of each blade of grass, she passed this love of nature to me too.

Elena Igorevna recommends Morris Rick's book “Secrets of Wildlife” to our readers: “Once in a store I came across Morris Rick's book “Secrets of Wildlife”. I began to look through it and could not tear myself away - I bought it. In this colorful book, it is fascinating, with interesting details, about the curious, amazing and sometimes inexplicable aspects of the life of nature, about rare and little-known facts from the life of plants and animals that live on land and in the depths of the sea. I think this book would be of interest to readers of all ages."

- Ecologist, regional coordinator of the Kapoosta project from the federal environmental movement "ECA".

Victoria Anatolyevna says: “I am an environmental engineer by education and I know for sure that the profession of an ecologist is very in demand and relevant. And this is exactly what I have a soul for and what I want to do. I made the right choice! Since my student days, I have been participating in various environmental events from subbotniks to participating in a seminar on protecting the environmental rights of citizens. Despite the fact that now there is no EKA movement in Pskov, there are a lot of caring citizens and organizations that continue to sort garbage, collect batteries, hand over waste paper and promote an eco-friendly lifestyle through their activities.

The Cabbage project is aimed precisely at creating a unique guide to "green" objects - eco-shops, vegetarian cafes, charitable foundations, protected areas, gardens and parks, festivals, master classes, lectures, where conscious consumers can find something eco-friendly for themselves , donate recyclables, become a volunteer or go on an eco-campaign, and for participating projects - tell about yourself, find a partner or assistant.

The project is all-Russian, i.е. eco-objects of any geographical location are placed in the guide, which becomes an additional advantage for the guests of our city and the development of the Pskov tourist brand. I am glad to announce that there are already six "eco" points on the "Cabbage" map, and among them the Children's Ecological Library "Rainbow"!

You can help fill in our map and decorate it with “green” objects of the Pskov region – send suggestions by e-mail or write to me on social networks.”

Victoria Anatolyevna recommends Marie Kondo's book “Magic Cleaning” to our readers: “Marie Kondo's book “Magic Cleaning” became a great inspiration for me. “And what does the environment have to do with it?”, you ask. But, if you think carefully and look at what surrounds us, how many things, information, then believe me, you will radically reconsider your opinion. This book carries the main message about conscious consumption, about how we handle things and why, taking out the mountains of garbage from the house, the mountains of things in the apartment do not decrease. Conscious consumption and careful handling of things is nothing but the first brick on the way to an eco-friendly lifestyle. Read it and you'll understand."

Teacher of biology, chemistry and geography of the State Budgetary General Educational Institution "Center for Curative Pedagogics and Differentiated Education of the Pskov Region".

Olga Pavlovna says: “From early childhood, I wanted to be a specialist in the field of astronautics, but, realizing that my health did not allow me to fly into space, I had to dream of the profession of a forensic scientist. Being carried away by the books of Sherlock Holmes and Georges Simenon, I realized how important knowledge of chemistry and biology is in solving crimes. Thus began the passion for these sciences. My mother, a primary school teacher, had a great influence on the choice of profession. She loved children very much and put her soul into them. I have never seen weariness on her face. Beloved mother is a living example, an ideal to which one wanted and wants to strive. And the second person who influenced the choice of profession was my class teacher, biology teacher of school No. 18 Mikhailova Nelli Konstantinovna. I liked most of all her sincere attitude towards children, her intelligence and teaching talent. It was she who awakened my interest in the science of life.

Biology has become a special, fascinating subject for me. This world - a world with thousands of different mysteries and secrets makes us stop to see the beauty around us, feel the rustle of leaves and hear the voice of nature. In order to protect and protect nature, you need to understand it well, so it is so important for future ecologists to know the natural sciences well. Teaching them to children is my contribution to nature conservation.”

Olga Pavlovna recommends to our readers the book "In the Forest" by Pyotr Bagin. “It is unusual because it is divided into several semantic zones. First, there is a description of the time of the year, listing the features of the life and development of certain animals and plants. This is followed by colorful spreads dedicated to each month separately. Throughout the year, the author shows us and tells us about several animal families: about bears, wild boars, badgers, foxes, wolves, raccoon dogs, wolverines, etc. That is, we meet the same characters on different pages of the book and not only learn what they do at one time or another of the year, but we also observe the growth and development of the cubs. And in the last block, cognitive facts are given, for example, the life cycles of wasps and bumblebees, the arrangement of an anthill, the features of the life of small and large mice, about woodpeckers, cranes and the games of birds of prey, about which birds stay over the winter with us, what nest the squirrel has, why the nightjar is called that, what are the chicks and much, much more.

Readers will learn that the inhabitants of the forest live complex lives, enter into complex relationships with each other and act in accordance with their natural habits. The book is beautifully illustrated. I think that all nature lovers will like it!”

- chief specialist of the hydrochemical laboratory SOP Pskov Regional Council of Trade Unions.

Natalya Vladimirovna says: “I chose the profession of an ecologist at the call of my heart. Since childhood, I have been with nature on "you". I grew flowers with my brother in our garden, helped homeless animals. Having learned that in our city a recruitment for training specialists in environmental protection is opening, I immediately applied for this specialty and then I never regretted it.

Unfortunately, now the world community, in pursuit of economic profit, has begun to forget that the wealth of the Earth is not endless! I care about what mark I leave behind and what the future holds for our children.”

“I would like to recommend this children's book to young readers with a not-so-childish message. Today, in a number of numerous environmental problems, deforestation is one of the most acute problems on the planet. Few people think that some trees are a whole story for someone, perhaps even a family story. And the book of Angela Nanetti can be read and opened from the ecological point of view.

“What does ecology have to do with it?” one of you will ask. And here's what... Every year, hundreds of trees are cut down in cities to improve infrastructure, and subsequently only a few are planted that have yet to grow. After all, it is easiest to cut down, and not everyone dares to save a tree that interferes with the implementation of the project. In the book, grandfather Ottaviano and his grandson Tonino are such heroes.

For many of us, the warmest and most significant memories from childhood are associated with grandparents, they are always the kindest, most generous and most understanding for us. The book tells the story of Ottaviano's grandfather, who planted cherries when his daughter, Tonino's mother, was born. On behalf of the boy Tonino, the story is being told. Grandfather was very worried about the loss of his wife and the fact that the municipality wanted to take away from him the land where his favorite cherry tree, planted in honor of the birth of his daughter, grew. In all experiences, grandfather was always supported by his beloved grandson - Tonino. Tonino is always on his side, even though others call Ottaviano crazy. After all, Ottaviano believes that a person does not die as long as someone loves him, and as long as the cherry trees continue to live. His grandson Tonino also believes in this.

“When I think of my grandfather, I remember the day he taught me to listen to the trees…” says Ottaviano.

This book will give you a lot of emotions - you will cry and laugh. She will leave a mark on everyone's heart.

Let's take care of our planet and live in harmony with nature!”

Environmental project "Calendar of nature in our group"

Type of project: ecological, research, long-term

By duration: 2 months

Children's age: 4 years

Educational area: "Knowledge". The child discovers the world nature.

Integration of educational regions: "Socialization", "Work", "Communication", "Artistic Creativity", "Safety".

Relevance project:

All phenomena in nature occur in a certain sequence. Every year, in a certain order, one after another, the seasons go. In every season natural phenomena also occur at certain times, in a certain order. In spring, the snow melts, plants and animals wake up, birds arrive. On summer days, animals and birds have new offspring, fruits and berries ripen on trees and shrubs. In autumn, trees lose their green attire, migratory birds fly south, and animals are intensively preparing for winter. In winter, the plant world is at rest, many animals hide from snow storms and severe frosts. For a child who is just beginning to understand the world around him, all this is of great interest. One of the most accessible ways to understand the surrounding reality is to observe it. The child observes, analyzes, draws conclusions.

In the process of familiarizing preschoolers with nature You can create and use a wide variety of models. Some of them are nature calendars- graphic models that reflect a variety of long-term phenomena and events in nature.

Doing nature calendars is of great importance for ecological raising children from two points vision: first, it is created (modeling of phenomena, then - use in the educational or educational process.

Conclusion.

Implementation experience calendars in the practice of kindergartens, showed: the use of this type of modeling has an intense impact on the development of visual-figurative thinking. Work with calendar at all stages(filling in, summing up, revisiting, comparing similar phenomena) enriches the specific ideas of children, forms a special type of ideas that reflects the process of changing objects nature in unity with the time parameter. However, the formation of this type of representation is possible only with regular, time-ordered fixation of observations. The model thus serves as a means of developing unified space-time representations. In addition, when discussing the results of observations, children are forced to compare what is recorded on the pages event calendar, trace the nature of changes, the relationship of individual components; thus they learn to discover temporal and causal relationships, establish the simplest patterns.

Thus, logical thinking develops, and with it speech is inextricably linked. This refers to a special, so-called collective form of speech - the conversation of the educator with group when statements are mutually complemented, when a single semantic line and complete in form content of the conversation is created. It should be noted that calendar- this is the subject of a logically constructed discussion, which contributes to the development of the skills to reason, analyze, compare events, and then reflect them in speech (conclusions, generalizations, that is, it serves as a visual means of teaching logical operations.

In the future, this project help educators achieve good results in their professional activities. The acquired knowledge will give the opportunity to work freely in the field of preschool education.

Practical significance the project is that it analyzes in detail the content and requirements for the construction of educational activities in kindergarten, which will help educators achieve the highest results in the profession.

Project can be implemented in any preschool educational institution.
