We all love to receive birthday gifts. This is, most often, what we expected and wanted. But, of course, there are times when we don’t like gifts or they’re something we already have. It's the same with the knowledge we gain in the learning process. Only we receive them in the form of a stream of thoughts settling in our head. They can be interesting, new, suitable. Or low-quality, seemingly meaningless, which you don’t understand what they are needed for... Here a reasonable question arises: “Why do I need all this?!” Here you can help by explaining to the child: - forget it for now, it will come in handy later... such a wording will not really calm the inquisitive mind of the student, but not all gifts are needed and required when we received them. At the same time, necessary, but still scattered, knowledge is being accumulated. Here, more than ever, the trust of a small student in significant adults, to whom we now include teachers, is more useful. Or for example... - all knowledge comes to us in the form of written or oral words, or in the form of pictures and stories that form the mental flow in our head So, listening to the teacher in class, the child learns to write letters in a notebook for the first time, that is, having understood the teacher’s words, the child writes his first letters. The thought of what the letter “a” looks like becomes visible to the teacher, mother and other students. We have the opportunity to express our thoughts in material space in the form of: letters, words, sentences, and then essays, algorithms, plans, instructions, thanks to which a child makes a birdhouse in a craft lesson, writes his first stories, creates a computer program, forms a plan for his first study or reproduces his interpretation of a piece of music. The job is done, that is, the thought is embodied in the material world! And the child’s invisible thought becomes an understandable object for those around him. In general, when a child goes to school and the teacher teaches him along with the whole class from one textbook, this gives the little person the opportunity to learn to formulate his thoughts so that he can be understood by friends, relatives, classmates... As it is said in one Soviet film we are familiar with time: “Happiness is when you are understood!” I wish us all good mutual understanding in the new academic year... Study with pleasure, remembering that thanks to knowledge our material world becomes better…
