在幼儿园，每个班都有一个绿意盎然的小角落，那就是“自然角”。为了能让孩子们更直接地观察动、植物的生长过程，在幼儿园老师们的精心设计布置下，走进每一个小小自然角，都仿佛置身于大自然中。

     每学期，我园各班教师都会用童心、爱心捕捉到孩子们内心的喜爱，用智慧、灵动与孩子、家长们一起创设富于生命、别具一格且具童趣的自然角。

In the kindergarten, each class has small garden-like areas; these are our “Nature areas”. In order to let children more directly observe the growth process of animals and plants, the teachers designed and designated these spots for the children to learn and explore.

Every semester, teachers create areas to capture children’s interests. The areas are put together in new and exciting ways. 

     墙面、半空统统利用起来，充分发挥空间价值。种植区需要提供必要的工具，以便孩子们自己照料植物。

    把相同的植物分别栽种在土、水、棉花和沙土里，让孩子们观察同一种植物用不同种植方式产生的不同生长情况，在这个过程中，幼儿能天天观察到它们的变化，生长的高度，了解它们的生长过程，并把过程记录下来，从而激发幼儿主动观察以及探索的欲望和兴趣。

An empty way can be useful space to extend learning. Planting areas provide the necessary tools for the children to care for plants themselves. 

Plants are put into different elements such as soil, water, cotton and sand. The children can observe the different growth rates of plants in these different natural elements. In this process, children can observe their changes, the height of their growth, the process of their growth, and record the process so as to stimulate active observation and exploration. 

    丰富多样的农作物，玉米、南瓜、红薯、花生、大栗等等凸显出丰收的景象。

    利用各种透明的废旧器皿，培育一些生长快，容易生长的种子。透明的器皿不仅可以让孩子观察植物的芽、叶、枝，还能观察植物的根，可谓是一举二得。

The use of rich and varied crop foods like, corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and sesame show the value of harvest plants. Transparent containers allow us to see the growth of plants more easily. Transparent vessels can not only let children observe the buds, leaves and branches of plants, but also to look at the roots of plants. 

The areas can be divided and labeled; hydroponic culture area, ornamental planting area, experimental area, record area and exhibition area. 

自然角，它就是大自然的一个缩影，也是幼儿了解认识自然的窗口，更是幼儿探索、观察、实践的有利场所。

Nature areas give us a miniature view of nature, it also gives an opportunity for children to be able to explore and observe nature to gain a better understanding of it.
