Modeling in the middle group: pedagogical and psychological aspects of classes

If you developed fine motor skills, the child begins early to say clearly and to pronounce words, understand tricky logic puzzles. The best tool for the development of the fingers is modeling! In the middle group, such classes are more informative and professional than in the younger group.

Preschoolers age 5 years

Five-year plan is characterized by intellectual curiosity, inquisitive mind, attention, activity, and patience. The children listen to the terms set by the tutor, and only then proceed to the assignment. It is easier to work with the material to tear and mash the pieces, as their muscles got stronger.

In this age classes are 4 stages:

1. ‘Do me" - the teacher shows how to do children repeat.
2. ‘Make a memory" - children mold in the old template, but from memory (for example, the first lesson did the hedgehog-mother, in this lesson - hedgehog-daddy).
3. «Do the same as in the picture” - children are given a picture or specimen of the figure you want to sculpt.
4. “DIY” - children are given regular verbal indication that you need to perform without visual and demonstration materials.

Of Course, children five years of age has not yet so proficient with their fingers, they find it difficult to connect the parts together without flattening the clay and to sculpt small features, but their crafts are already similar in appearance to the real objects with the appropriate proportions. In addition, each class, their skills are improving. Modeling in the middle group is closely connected with the study of the surrounding world, painting, applique.

In any occupation or walk the teacher focuses on the shape of the object, its parts. For example, consider tit: round head, oval body, flattened elongated tail and wings, pointed beak, eyes, etc. It is necessary to develop children's thinking and teach them to notice small details that need to be reflected in their crafts.

The Technique of sculpting in the middle group

Modeling includes not only the specific lessons with plasticine or clay, and steady work as an educator with children. That is, the teacher draws the attention of the preschoolers to shapes, the small details when walking on the street, when you read books as they spend teaching the game. For example, for reading out the form of vegetables, fruits, animals, utensils, etc. 

Modeling in the middle group involves the sequence:

1. At the beginning of the school year material is repeated. Molded fruit and vegetables with a round shape. Children learn to work with stacks and fingers to pull oblong "sausages".
2. Winter preschoolers learn to create complex figures from different parts of round, oval and oblong shapes. Using stacks learn to draw fine facial features, the fur of animals, feathers of birds, etc.
3. The spring five-year study to create objects out of a whole piece, pulling the weight and not tear her to pieces.
4. In the Summer most of the studies are aimed at consolidating the teaching material.

Each DOE has its own program, so the number of classes in sculpting, approved the guidance material and its contents will differ. On average, the molding is not less than 1 times a week free of charge, but there are also paid classes, which are called “workshop”.

The Invaluable role of modeling in the development of preschoolers

American scientists have proved that daily sculpting activities stimulate the brain, particularly the parts responsible for speech. Expressive children begin to utter words, to enunciate the sound, making it easier to master the alphabetic structure of words.

In our country.. Krupskaya noted that the molding in the middle group contributes to the development of creative and artistic imagination, visual-figurative and abstract thinking, memory, broadens the mind and emotional sphere, forms of observation and personal qualities (patience, independence, ingenuity, initiative, discipline).

The Mental development of the child takes place in the classroom modeling through well-built pedagogical process and the different texture of the material. Earlier in kindergartens was used plasticine, clay, salt dough, sand and snow. In our days, you can buy various types of clay:

• Clay for kids soft consistency changes the colors by mixing, at room temperature “kiselica”;
• Putty smooth "watery" consistency (like a touch of silk) freezes two days after the manufacture of crafts;
• Clay fine and coarse of the balls on the adhesive basis.

The Child not only feels the different texture of the material, sees it different properties, but with him doing various actions (sculpts crafts, mosaics, painting or plasticine painting). And purposeful activity of the teacher helps children to focus on small details. Therefore, modeling in DOE (middle group) promotes intellectual and creative development of children.
