1. Explore the four seasons of nature, good words and sentences. In July, in the blue sky, the sun hung like a fireball. The clouds seemed to be burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace. Spring left with the falling flowers, and summer was covered with flowers.

The green leaves all over the body came jumping in the warm wind. The early summer sunshine penetrated through the dense layers of branches and leaves, and the ground was covered with sparkling light spots the size of copper coins. The wind blew with a slight warmth, bringing it from time to time.

The cry of the cuckoo is telling us: "Spring has returned." Green grass, reeds and red, white and purple wildflowers are scorched by a fiery sun hanging high in the sky, and the air is full of

In the early summer, all kinds of wild flowers are blooming, red, purple, pink, and yellow, like brilliant spots embroidered on a big green carpet; swarms of bees are busy among the flowers, sucking in the flowers.

The flower stamens are flying around hard. In midsummer, the weather is so hot that even dragonflies only dare to fly close to the shade of the trees, as if they are afraid that the sun will damage their wings. There is not a cloud in the sky, not a bit of wind, and a scorching sun above the head.

All the trees stood there listlessly and lazily. In the midsummer of July, there was no cloud in the blue sky. The scorching sun was scorching the earth, the water in the river was scalding, and the soil in the ground was smoking. The scorching sun was in the sky,

On both sides of the road, ripe grains bent over in the heat and lowered their heads. Grasshoppers were as numerous as blades of grass. In the wheat and rye fields, and in the reeds on the shore, they made a faint sound.

Noisy chirping. The sun was like a huge fireball, its rays were scorching. The road was heated by the scorching sun, and a trail of white smoke erupted with each step. The weather was swelteringly hot, and there was no wind at all. The thick air seemed to be condensing.

The whole city was like a burnt brick kiln, making people breathless. The dogs lay on the ground and spit out their bright red tongues, and the nostrils of the mules and horses were extremely wide. The blazing fire umbrellas were high in the air, making the river hot.

The fish did not dare to come out of the water, the birds did not dare to fly out of the mountains and forests, and even the dogs in the village just stretched out their tongues and panted endlessly. That day, the weather was crazy hot. As soon as the sun came up, the ground was already on fire, and some

The gray air, which looked like clouds but not clouds, and looked like mist but not fog, floated low in the air, making people feel suffocated. It was a summer with no rain for a long time. The hot sun baked the old loaches in the fields and turned them white.

The stream beside the stream suddenly dropped a few inches, and the rocks exposed on the water suddenly became larger. The birds hid somewhere unknown; the grass and trees were all downcast, as if they were dying; only the cicada,

The branches kept making broken screams; the gongs and drums were really cheering for the scorching sun!

The willow tree on the street seemed to be sick. The leaves were curled up with dust on the branches, and the branches were motionless. The road was glowing with white light, and the vendors did not dare to shout. The plexiglass signs at the store entrances also seemed to be exposed to the sun.

2. How to explore nature closely with young children. It is human nature to be close to nature. As long as everyone walks into nature, environmental factors will change, and the sense of closeness to nature in the body will also be catalyzed, just like

We see children playing with mud, but they can play with it for a long time and invent a variety of ways to play with just a handful of mud.

Guide children to be interested in things and phenomena around them, have curiosity and thirst for knowledge, care for animals and plants, care about the surrounding environment, get close to nature, guide children to have interest and desire to explore the characteristics and changing patterns of common things and phenomena around them,

In other words, it must be implemented “based on the life experience of young children.”

The importance of "family participation", including parents as participants in the activities, can also further stimulate children's interest in touching nature. 3. Who is the author of "Exploring Nature with Young Children" About the Author Ingrid Charu
