Application for 3rd grade
Self-realization of children improves every year. Skills and abilities when working with scissors, colored paper and cardboard must be fully developed.
Therefore, you can safely design lessons in such a way that they contribute to the development of their imagination and fantasy.
Already from the third grade, you can begin to learn other techniques while cutting out objects.
For example, the method of folding a sheet in half or in the shape of an accordion, followed by cutting out the shapes so that they are symmetrical, is perfect for this age.
In addition to cutting, third-graders will enjoy the cutting technique, which is when, instead of the usual work with scissors, they have to work without them - with their hands.
Another fascinating technique is decoupage. It would be interesting if by the end of the school year all the work done by the children was collected and compiled into a catalog of applications.
Why the application, what benefits does it bring?
The applique can be made on completely different themes and from a variety of materials.
Not only colored paper will be used, but also cardboard; multi-colored fabric and natural materials (seeds, cereals, leaves, twigs, small flowers, etc.) will be an excellent material for creativity.
Vegetables, animals, transport, people are some possible topics for creating an application.
This type of work allows you to develop the student’s general horizons, learn something new, and discover hitherto unknown possibilities and teachings.
That is why such a fun and exciting activity is so popular among children of primary school age.
While working, they try to carefully cut out the object, think about how and where it is best to place it, and then fix it on a sheet of paper. Thus, the children develop their thinking processes, and also develop such qualities as:
- accuracy;
- reasonableness;
- economy;
- creativity.
After all, by creating their masterpieces, children learn to appreciate beauty.
Applications for 1st grade
For the youngest children in school, so that they quickly adapt to a different mode of work, it is necessary to think through the lessons in a fun and interesting way; this is where technology lessons come to the rescue, where you can make a variety of crafts. For work it is best to use:
- colored paper;
- multi-colored cardboard;
- pencils of different colors;
- scissors;
- glue.
If you offer them an interesting topic, they will work hard for a long time to create their work of art.
The most important thing in working with first-graders is to be able to organize them for creativity while completely capturing their attention.
A primary school teacher can make connections between subjects, i.e. In the lesson on the world around them, they get acquainted with the topic “Animals of our region”; you can continue to consolidate the material already at work by inviting them to make an application on this topic.
You can diversify the work as follows, distributing animals among students and initially inviting them to make a craft about the character they got.
For the next lesson, they can be asked to prepare an interesting story about an animal, thus preparing a presentation of their work.
Seven-year-old children will perceive this type of creativity well, since they really like to play games and read fairy tales, so they can also be asked to make an application to a work or fairy tale they have studied.
Applications for 2nd grade
Having studied for a year, the children have matured, so when planning lessons it is necessary to take this fact into account. This also applies to labor lessons, where younger students will perform a variety of crafts.
When working with an application, you should complicate the level of execution, otherwise, if it remains at the same level, their interest will quickly fade away, and this cannot be allowed.
To improve children's skills and abilities, you can teach them to make large-scale crafts, starting with the simplest ones.
In addition, every year schoolchildren have an increasing need to understand the world around them; they should be encouraged to show more imagination and try to make their works more beautiful and unique.
And to realize this point, they must read more and study additional literature. That is why you can invite the children to write down important information, in their opinion, in a notebook, making a small note.
