Master class as an effective form of working with parents in a preschool institution

Education is a difficult matter, and improving its conditions is one of the sacred duties of every person, for there is nothing more important than the education of oneself and one’s loved ones.

Socrates

Preschool age is a bright, unique page in the life of every person. The emotional responsiveness of preschoolers is actively developing through exposure to art, music, literature, and folk culture. Kindergarten is a place where a child gains experience of broad emotional and practical interaction with adults and peers in the most significant areas of life for his or her development.

One of the urgent tasks of our time is the interaction between preschool educational institutions and families. The teacher’s task is to create conditions for the active participation of the child’s family in the life of the kindergarten.

Our teachers had many questions:

− How to interest parents in working together?

− What form of interaction with parents is most effective?

One of the ways to solve this issue is: establishing unity in raising children, pedagogical education of parents. Master classes for parents are one of the most effective forms of working with families, which allows them to realize the need to establish mutual understanding between teachers and parents, to exchange knowledge and experience. Each master class solves not only practical problems, but also educational ones.

In our group “Friendly Family” we carry out joint activities with children and parents through master classes. To attract parents, we made invitations for each master class, where we tried to reflect the theme of the upcoming meeting. In the process of conducting master classes, it was important for us to interest parents, create an atmosphere of mutual understanding, establish emotional support, and help achieve the planned result.

We organized master classes: on quilling, origami, conducted “We want to know everything” experiments, made amulets dolls, and performed three-dimensional appliqué. In the course of joint work, the quality of the educational process improves through the organization of joint creative activities of parents, children and educators. And the most valuable thing is that after the master classes, parents can use the knowledge gained by organizing classes with their children at home. Parents have a great interest in joint activities with their children and a desire to spend more time with them.

A special creative atmosphere arises when we organize creative master classes on the eve of the holidays “New Year”, “Brave Soldiers”, “Mother’s Day”, “Great Easter”, “Stars of Victory”. We involved fathers, grandfathers, and brothers in making crafts for mothers. And for dads, we invite mothers, sisters, and grandmothers to a master class. Parents willingly responded to the offer to prepare gifts and surprises for the holidays. Direct productive activity made it possible to interest all participants. Our talented dads, who attended our master classes with great pleasure, turned out to be a real discovery for the children and us teachers. This work allows us to increase the psychological and pedagogical competence of modern parents, where they are in the position of an active participant in activities.

We bring to your attention the master classes that we conducted:

Doll "Wisher".

Our students took part in the city project “Okay Week” with the goal of strengthening and preserving family values and traditions. As part of the “Ladnaya Week”, we held a master class with parents and children on making the folk doll “Zhelannitsy”. A doll is a sign of a person, his play image-symbol. In this role, she focuses time, cultural history, the history of the country and people. The necessary materials for the work were purchased, and we began to meet in our creative workshop. Of course, we were worried, would moms and dads respond, would they find time to spend the evening in kindergarten? Now we can say with confidence that we succeeded! Parents and children made a “Wisher” doll. The meeting turned out to be informative, warm and interesting. Russian folk music was played to create the atmosphere. Each family tried to ensure that their doll was not like the others. Everyone made wishes and took home their dolls. These are the wonderful dolls we got.

Creative laboratory “I want to know everything.”

Science experiments, including experiments with water, are an easy way to get your child interested in science and a great family activity. Before the New Year holidays, we invited our parents to the “I Want to Know Everything” creative workshop, where we plunged into the world of discovery. They told and showed how and what they can do to keep children occupied on long, cold evenings. Parents enjoyed immersing themselves in their childhood and took part in the master class. Together with our parents, we conducted experiments with water, magnets, toothpicks, and became acquainted with static electricity.

The following experiments were carried out in a fun and playful way: “Dry napkin”, “Flowers on water”, “Get paper clips from a jar of water without soaking the magnet”, “Move an object”, “Air in water”, “A star made of toothpicks” . One of the most exciting and educational experiments were “Dry Napkin” and “Toothpick Star,” where parents immersed themselves in research activities. From experiments, parents learned how to put a container in water and leave a dry napkin. How to get all the paper clips out without getting your hands wet or emptying the jar. Like broken toothpicks and a drop of water, a star magically appears. They joyfully and enthusiastically participated in all experiments. In the process of experimentation, parents had the opportunity to satisfy their inherent curiosity and get answers to the questions that concern them: “Why? For what? How? What will happen if...?”, we felt like scientists, researchers, discoverers and, for a short time, small children.

"Gifts for Dads"

The holiday of our beloved dads is approaching. Our guys especially enjoy preparing gifts for dads. They always associate a gift with a surprise, which dad cannot talk about, otherwise it will no longer be so pleasant and unexpected. We decided to organize and conduct a master class “A Gift for Dad” and invited mothers and grandmothers. Together with the children, they made a three-dimensional postcard for dads. The parents were surprised that such wonderful gifts could be made from such simple materials. Everyone tried very hard, because this was a gift for dad, and the children happily gave them at the holiday. All dads really liked the gifts.

4. “Bouquet for Mom.”

Mom is the most precious word in every child’s life. What to give your mom for Mother's Day? One of the best gifts for every mother can be a homemade Mother's Day card. What could be more valuable to a mother than work done with the hands of her child, and for mothers this is a pleasant and valuable gift. Dads, grandfathers and older brothers gladly took part in the master class. We made a voluminous bouquet of flowers for mothers. Together with their children, dads carefully and lovingly made their bouquets and decorated them with hearts. We got such wonderful bouquets.

Quilling and origami.

At this master class, we told parents about the quilling technique and offered to make a collective work of a bouquet of flowers that now decorates our group. Parents really enjoyed working with this technique, they even took the diagrams of the elements with them to share the knowledge they gained with their family. We talked about the origami technique, which fascinates by transforming a simple square of paper into various images - a boat, a house, an airplane, etc. Each craft created is a masterpiece that both children and parents enjoy.

A master class is an active form of training for parents, in which knowledge is acquired or improved through an activity-based approach through self-organization and activation of the creative potential of each participant. Carrying out pedagogical activities, we fill children's lives with interesting activities and ideas, including each child in meaningful activities, contributing to the realization of children's interests and life activity. Next year we plan to hold as many interesting master classes as possible for parents who are looking forward to meetings in our “I Want to Know Everything” workshop.

Summing up all our work, we are convinced that the master class is a very effective form of working with parents. We noticed how parents open up at master classes. With each new meeting, more and more parents came to our workshop. Communication took place in a friendly atmosphere. It was very pleasant to hear words of gratitude from the participants of the master class and the desire to come again. We are convinced that the master class is an effective means of ensuring communication and unity in the work of the kindergarten and family, allows parents to reveal their creativity, promotes the development of children’s creative abilities, and strengthens trusting relationships between teachers and parents.

Parents' workshop!

A parent workshop is one of the types of group interaction with parents of pupils.
Relevance:
the master class is held to strengthen the emotionally positive relationship between children and parents in the process of making crafts.
The theme of our parent workshop is “Sunshine”; the choice of theme was associated with the onset of spring. Usually, the making of various handicrafts with one’s own hands took place at each student’s home. This time I decided to gather parents and children in our playroom and make crafts in kindergarten. Goal: Involving parents and children in joint creative activities to make “Sun” crafts. Objectives

Progress of the event:

(In the group room there are chairs, tables on which the material used in the work lies, examples of the creation of works).
Educator: - Good evening, dear parents! To begin with, I would like to ask our children a riddle. Let's see if they can solve it You warm the whole world And you don't know fatigue, You smile in the window, And everyone calls you...
The children answer Sunny.
Educator: -Well done, right. Now spring has already come into full force outside and the sun is warming up very brightly outside. Therefore, I decided to gather you in a group and make the “Sun” craft with my own hands. And before that, I want to take you to the second floor of our kindergarten and show you an exhibition of works about space that older children did. Pay attention to the variety of works performed. After everyone has returned to the group, children and parents sit on chairs. Educator: - Let's try to make a bright, beautiful, warm sun with our own hands. Moreover, this craft requires very few materials and a little imagination, but the result is more than interesting. Making our sun is quite simple, and the children will help you and me in this exciting activity. Even very young children can take part in making crafts with their own hands. If you are at a loss about what to do, then in front of you are examples of how to make a sun. Let's get started, don't forget that children are also involved in creating crafts, actively involve them. Since our children do not yet know how to sit still for a long time, due to their age, they ran away from their parents after 10 minutes. I prepared an exciting activity for them. Before that, showing the example of the sun

which we can do with them. We made a cute sun with them using finger paints. That's all, we have such wonderful Suns! You see how beautiful it is, and there is nothing complicated at all in making this craft. Such wonderful suns can be an idea for a colorful exhibition. Since not many parents came, we offered the rest to make suns at home and we will complement our exhibition with their crafts. With the help of joint crafts made from simple materials, you can instill in your child a love of artistic creativity, which also contributes to the development of fine motor skills. Sunshine, sunshine, look out the window;
Children love you, little restless ones. Thank you very much for coming! We will be glad to see everyone at our next meeting.
