With the support and suggestions of the project, the teacher decided to make full use of the idle outdoor space and carefully planned a unique planting activity for the children.

We remembered that it was in the spring semester. The sunshine warmly sprinkled in every corner of the preschool. The children, with full curiosity and expectation, followed the teacher's footsteps to this idle open space. Parents and teachers prepared sweet potato seeds and home-made tools for the children in advance.

In the process of planting, the children were digging, planting and watering. Every step was done very carefully. Their little faces glow with concentration and joy, and their small hands, though not very skilled, are full of power. The teacher was patiently instructing them, "Be careful not to hurt your little hands when you dig, my dear." "Here, put the seeds in gently, like the teacher." Whenever the children encounter difficulties, the teacher was always helping and teaching.

One little child was not strong enough to move the watering pot, The teacher smiled to encourage him: "Come on, make some strength, I believe you can!" With the encouragement of the teacher, the children successfully watered the plants and the whole work opened a bright smile on their faces.

Time was flying and autumn arrived. After a semester of care by the children and teachers, finally the crops got mature and become ready for harvest! So, Guo Caishuang organized a happy picking activity.

When the children came back to the land where they had been sowing, they were shocked. The leaves of the once tiny green seedlings have turned yellow and withered, and a plump sweet potato appeared in the field, as if beckoning to the children. The children excitedly rushed into the field, and carefully picked off a large and round sweet potato, feeling the joy of harvest.

"Teacher, this sweet potato is so big!" One child shouted excitedly.

The teacher responded with a smile: "That's because you took good care of it!"

"Teacher, I found a worm on it!" Another child came running.

"This is because for the sweet potato to grow, we did not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, they are very green and safe, insects also like to eat them!" "The teacher explained.

"Teacher, are these sweet potato enough for us to eat?" asked a lovely little girl curiously.

The teacher touched her head and said, "Of course, we can share the fruits of our labor."

In the cheerful atmosphere, the children not only experienced the joy of labor, but also learned to cherish the fruits of labor, and understood that only efforts and sweat can be exchanged for harvesting fruits.

Through this planting and picking activity, the children not only learned the knowledge and skills of planting, but also cultivated their observation, hands-on ability and teamwork spirit. More importantly, they experienced the process of planting, felt that food is hard won, and know how to cherish food.

In the coming days, the teachers of our rural preschool will continue to work hard to create more such meaningful activities for the children according to local conditions, so that the children can learn in happiness, grow up in learning, and have a childhood full of memories and beauty!
