On country visit

These are the familiar scenes to me every day when I leave the house in the morning and return home at night. You can see the difference here is that in the morning people leave the house for different purposes. When the night comes, everyone will return home together. I returned home at 12 o'clock at night so you can see that there is no one on the street.

In the morning, the sunlight shines through the trees, making the whole street come alive. Everything around is bright and full of energy. The sounds of the city become more lively and bustling with the sound of vehicles, people chatting, and birds chirping. The birds seem to be rushing to the warm South, away from the cold of winter. The pace of life becomes hurried, all looking forward to a new day full of productivity and hope. However, when night falls, everything gradually sinks into silence. The noisy sounds of the city gradually subside, giving way to a quiet space. At this time, the sounds of nature begin to emerge - the chirping of crickets, the sound of wind blowing through the leaves, creating gentle rustling sounds in the night. The space gradually becomes peaceful and quiet, completely different from the noise of the day.

tree

On the road I walk everyday with rows of trees that provide shade for me. The wind blows the leaves of the trees making a rustling sound. The trees sway gracefully from side to side creating a scene like dancers doing a fun dance. At the same time, it reminds me of Bangarra Education Resources Mutton Bird. Although trees cannot fly like birds or migrate to warmer places, they can change their colors according to the seasons. Trees may not be able to fly like birds but they can let the wind sway them in rhythm and their leaves are not easily blown away so we can see them swaying gently as well as clinging to the branches. Also, we can see that the branches of the trees lean more towards the middle of the road because there are no houses blocking their light only in the middle of the road so I wonder if they are just inanimate objects or a living creature that can reach for the light. Through this, I can see that teaching through trees helps children connect more with nature and also gives the leaves the strength to hold on when facing strong winds.

Purple bus

The bus is a public transport that anyone can take at least once in their life, but is it just a mindless moving machine or can it transform into a horse carrying passengers like a knight? When standing near the bus, it looks sturdy and smells like metal. From here, we can see the connection between drama and the bus through the eyes of children, children can imagine many different scenarios such as the bus is a moving machine that helps people travel to other lands. Based on The SAGE Handbook of Play and Learning in Early Childhood, drama helps encourage children to create many different ideas, evoke many different aspects of society, and ways to solve problems. From here, we can assume many situations so that children can imagine situations such as the bus suddenly stops in the middle of the road. Therefore, in becoming a preschool teacher, I realized that I also have to improve my creativity in teaching so that children can have more knowledge and soft skills.

The transition of day light to night

The transition from morning to night, although it can be seen as a brief interchange, also shows us many differences and the biggest difference can be said to be the difference in sound. In the morning, we can all feel the hustle and bustle coming from many directions like a concert held during the day. However, when it gets dark, everything returns to its original peaceful appearance, quiet without a sound, only the sound of the treetops swaying in the wind and the sound of crickets. Tania de Jong said that music is very good for the brain when it develops. helps improve mood and emotions. In addition, not only music but also the sounds of nature are beneficial for the development of children's brains. Sounds from nature help connect nature and people as well as stay away from the noisy sounds of society. These sounds also contribute to many psychological and therapeutic benefits.

Creative response

In a certain country, there were two boys who had been close friends since childhood, named Bus and Tree. One day, they went out together and talked about their lives.

Starting with the boy Bus: "My life has been very busy with everything. Every morning and afternoon I have to work at full capacity, everything around me is so busy, I don't have any time to rest, and I have to please everyone. Unlike you, you always just stand still and never get anything done."

As soon as Bus finished speaking, Tree said: "You said I always rest every day and I have nothing to do, you have tried it, how would you know? I always have to work, my job is very important, you just don't know it.

Bus immediately replied: "So what can you do to show off?"

Sun and Moon, a pair of fairies who passed by and heard the conversation, appeared and said: "So do you two want to exchange identities to know each other's lives for a month?"

Both of them immediately agreed and were magically changed their identities by the two fairies.

A month later, when they met again, they immediately went to hug their friend and apologized.

Tree said first: "I'm sorry, I thought my job was difficult until I found out that from morning to noon you had to do under the hot sun."

Bus immediately interrupted and said: "No, I should be the one apologizing to you. Your work is very important and you must do it continuously without stopping."

The fairies appeared and said that the two of them finally understood each other. They should make up and go back to normal.

From then on, the two of them became even closer and never misunderstood or argued again.
