Children understand the satisfaction of caring for a plant and seeing it develop, as well as the feeling of achievement that comes with it.
They find meaning in their green pursuits and their classroom reflects this, teeming with green life and providing a peaceful, tranquil ambience.
Children will understand that care for plants not only adds visual value to their classroom but also improves their mental well-being by providing a quiet and attentive atmosphere.
To climb a tree is for a child to discover a new world. In the simple activity of climbing trees, there lies profound educational significance. Take, for instance, a longan tree: its dense branches and sturdy trunk provide a platform for a child to stand upon, fostering a deep sense of achievement.
Planted over a decade ago, this tree has grown into a secure climbing spot for children, symbolizing the enduring allure of tree climbing. Children are naturally drawn to the challenge, utilizing their strength and skills to explore and conquer, overcoming fears. The unparalleled sense of accomplishment they experience while perched atop the tree inspires them to share their success with others.
Tree climbing not only enhances physical strength and coordination but also nurtures confidence, resilience, and a profound connection with nature. It teaches children to assess risks, problem-solve, and appreciate the beauty and miracles of the natural world. As they ascend the heights of the longan tree, children not only grow physically but also mature emotionally, gaining valuable experiences to guide them throughout life.
