Description

This study implements special activities based on the old curriculum guidelines (announced in 2008). The environmental education efforts of the Children’s Association’s Beautification and Cultivation Committee were organized according to the current curriculum guidelines (announced in 2017), and a proposal was made intended to guide cooperation between preschools and elementary schools. Goals were set for each semester, and the children were constantly active. As a result, the children pursued both their own projects and group projects, such as deciding what kind of vegetables to plant, how to make the school and community greener, and how to solve the problem of non-participation in activities. Regarding the children’s reflections, about 60% said they enjoyed the activities; about 70% said they worked hard at the activities; and about 80% said they found nurturing plants to be interesting. Despite some effective responses, it was noted that teachers needed to improve their teaching methods. The following is a proposal for teaching cooperation between preschool and elementary school in special activities for upper grades. As part of the Beautification and Cultivation Committee’s activities, the school proposed distributing vegetable and flower seeds grown at the school to local nursery schools and kindergartens. It is also important to create opportunities for environmental activities and to be conscious of involvement with local children through regular activities.
