As part of the development of the project "Modern School"There is an acute question about the patriotic education of children. Everyone knows that a true patriot loves his homeland. And love for the big always comes through love for the little. In order to cultivate patriotic feelings, years of painstaking work are needed, and the sooner it is started, the more effect can be achieved in resolving this issue.
Holding event
It is very good when the school takes part inproject called "My Little Homeland." Based on this topic, a creative person will find the opportunity for self-expression and the best ways to influence children.

- lesson;
- thematic extracurricular event;
- cognitive conversation: "My little homeland";
- circle activity;
- research project;

It is very important that each teacher, before taking up the task, remembered the words from the song “Where does the Motherland begin?” To the verses by M. Matusovsky and used them as an epigraph.
Where does the Motherland begin?
From the picture in your Primer,
With good and faithful comrades,
Living in a neighboring yard.
Or maybe it starts
From the song that our mother sang to us.
From what in any trials
Nobody is taken away from us
You can also hold the event "My Little Homeland" for preschoolers. However, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of age, in accordance with this making a plan.
Out-of-class work as a type of education
Of course, the process of upbringing a pupil is mainly entrusted to out-of-class work, and the quality development of the child’s personality depends on the quality of its teachers.
To one of the types of extracurricular activities caninclude extracurricular event "My Little Homeland." His goal is to cultivate the love of his native land. This event can be timed to the following holidays:

Participants in the extracurricular event "My Little Homeland"
Extracurricular event "My Little Homeland"takes a leading role in shaping the child’s personal qualities. And it’s very cool when there is a good, close relationship between family, child and school. This means that the process of educating a future person is based on unity.
At an event of this type mustparents attend, especially if the child is still a junior high school student. It is great if there are honored teachers, doctors or heroes of labor in families (this item concerns the older generation) - this means that they can tell children about their merits and explain what opportunities the Motherland has given them.
Lesson "My Little Homeland"
A lesson on this topic is not only possible, but must be conducted in all age categories. Its presence is mandatory in the thematic planning of the work of the class teacher.
The development of the lesson “My Little Homeland” should be targeted. For example, adolescents need to explain the meaning of homeland in the life of every person. From here follow the scheduled tasks.
- Explain the concepts of "homeland" and "small homeland" and prove the existence of a very fine line between them.
- Develop in children a sense of love for the motherland.
This lesson is best carried out inintegrated form, connecting already existing knowledge of children from the field of geography (let them find and show their settlement on the map of a region or region), literature (remember famous poems and proverbs on a given topic), Russian language (answer the question in all cases homeland is written in small letters), art (they will name famous works in music and painting).
Only active child's activity can give a positive result in achieving the goal.
Communication of the patriotic event with the Victory Day
For the holiday of May 9 you can spend a cool hour with the children. The topic of the lesson: “My small homeland and its connection with the Victory Day”. Such thematic classroom hours can be held anywhere in Russia.
Разработка урока «Моя малая родина и ее связь с Victory Day ”should be aimed at developing in the younger generation a sense of patriotism, pride in the place where he was born and grow up, thanks to his ancestors for the preserved peace and freedom.
К данному классному часу готовиться нужно не only a teacher, but also children. For example, you can give them a task to talk about how the Second World War affected their family (who was at the front, who provided the rear), or ask them to arrange a booth in the class “Thank you for the victory!” And place on it photos from students' family archives. Only joint activities of an adult and a child are capable of fostering patriotism.
"My little homeland" in elementary school
The best time to form a love forHomeland - is an elementary school. The program “My Little Homeland” for primary schoolchildren is based on the concept of spiritual and moral education. Within the framework of this program, the educational process should take place during all four years of study.
Based on the program, the teacher draws up an action plan called “My Little Homeland”. They may be as follows:
- lessons - conversations;
- class hours;
- meeting interesting people;
- excursions;
- creative contests;
- plot - role-playing games.
At these events schoolchildren learn about historical monuments, learn to see and appreciate the beautiful, the concept of the family as a cell of society is formed in children, and much more.
Quiz - one of the ways to study the motherland
As you know, in the education of all methods are good, andespecially in the upbringing of a young patriot. One of the forms capable of instilling a feeling of love for the motherland and knowledge of its historical past is the quiz “My Little Homeland”. A student can become a quiz participant. It is very appropriate to include issues affecting not only modern life, but also the historical past of the native land. That is, questions about famous personalities who previously lived in a given area, about renaming a city (village), about historical cultural monuments would be the best way to encourage schoolchildren to know their homeland.
In addition, a quiz can be held asindependent type of activity, and may be included in the out-of-class event “My Little Homeland”. In the second case, the main thing is not to overdo it with questions so that the search for answers to them will not become the main activity for the children at the event.
The event "My Little Homeland"
An event called “My Little Homeland” canbe held not only in school. It is quite capable of becoming an event of urban or regional type. But, despite its level, it is still educational in nature, only the scale of the impact will increase. The development of the event “My Little Homeland” falls on the shoulders of those responsible for its conduct.
I would like to mention the fact that parents alsoare responsible for raising their child. And if there is no opportunity to take part in this event directly, then to attend as a spectator is simply necessary, even with the aim of having a new topic for discussion with your child. As a rule, events with the participation of parents are held in the evening. Working moms and dads without problems will be able to visit the school and recharge themselves with the energy of patriotism.
Open event
At the open event "My Little Homeland",which is held at the school, in addition to students, parents and all teachers of the school must be invited. At such meetings, it is very appropriate to use modern technologies, with which you can diversify the speaker’s speech and prove the correctness and weight of his words.
Also open events includereporting concert of extracurricular activities in elementary school called “My Little Homeland”, for schoolchildren this is a great opportunity to demonstrate all their knowledge, skills and abilities. Children of various age categories can take part.
What should be considered when preparing the “My Little Homeland” lesson?
Каждому взрослому известно значение слова "homeland" and the fact that it was historically formed from the word genus. This means that everything related to the family (place of residence, activity) must be disclosed during the classes.
The “My Little Homeland” lesson should correspond to the age of the students, so the following division occurs.
- For children of primary school age, it will be useful to learn about local attractions, about functioning plants and factories, about monuments of architecture in their native village.
- For children of middle school age, classes that reveal the theme of a family, defining it as a unit of society, as well as knowing one’s “I” in the family, will be optimal.
- For older children, you can hold classes, discussions on general topics, such as "I and my homeland."
In addition, this lesson does not require strictterritorial framework, which means that it can be carried out anywhere (in a museum, park, in nature), and also at any time, for example, after school work or during holidays.
Summarizing
Итоги принято подводить в конце.But, of course, summing up the interim results after each event held is also of considerable importance. To preserve objectivity, the results need to be summed up by the teacher together with the class, analyzing every failed moment from all sides. After all, shortcomings in the early stages can lead to a huge mistake in general. Everyone knows that medical errors are visible immediately, and pedagogical shortcomings are known throughout life.
The value of a personal example
Every child is brought up not only in class,but also in society, so a personal example of an attitude toward a small homeland is of great importance to him. To do this, every adult needs to learn to love his homeland first, and then raise this feeling in children. Therefore, the following undesirable aspects should be excluded from their behavior:
- disrespect for human labor;
- nature pollution;
- lack of responsiveness and mercy to others.
If we work together and efficiently, then ourchildren can make the world a little better. Adults should give decent examples, and the “My Little Homeland” event will help raise a sense of patriotism. For preschoolers and older children, it is sure to pass with benefit and help to integrate into the society the best way possible.
