Progress of the lesson:
Educator. Hello guys! Today I want to talk to you about Homeland. Who can tell me what it is Motherland?
Children. The country in which you live.
Educator. What is our name? Motherland?
Children. Russia.
Educator. Have you ever wondered what they mean? words: Rus', Russian, Russia, Russians? Some researchers believe that the word Rus comes from the word "bed"- recess. Along which the river flows. After all, in Rus' there are many large and small rivers. Our ancestors built cities, towns, and villages on the banks of reservoirs. Or maybe the word Russia is connected with the word "dew"? morning, light, fresh dew. There is an assumption that the word "Russian" appeared from the name of the ancient Slavic tribe "rus", known back in the 4th century BC.
Look at these photos.
The teacher shows slides with cities and nature of Russia.
Great is ours Motherland! It spreads freely from the snow and ice of the Far North to the southern seas. This is a huge state! Available in Russia high mountains, deep rivers, deep lakes, dense forests and endless steppes. There are also small rivers. Light birch groves, sunny meadows, ravines, swamps and fields. If you drive through our country from north to south. You can notice how the climate, vegetation, and the appearance of villages, towns and cities are changing.
Demonstration of photographs about the tundra (dwarf trees, moss, lichens, taiga (dense coniferous forests, steppes (meadows, feather grass, the Black Sea, populated areas) (Big city , small, village).
We are proud of our great Russia, its diverse nature, rich mineral resources, and especially the hardworking and talented people who inhabit it. But each of us has our own small homeland - that corner of the earth, Where are we were born, where we spent our childhood, where our people live parents and friends, where our home is located. For someone small homeland - small a village or village, for others - a city street and a green courtyard with a swing, a sandbox and a wooden slide. In a word, Everyone has their own small homeland!
1 child:
What we we call you home?
The house where you and I live.
And the birch trees along which,
We walk next to mom.
2 child:
- Small Motherland- island of land.
Under the window currant, the cherries have blossomed,
A curly apple tree, and under it a bench -
Affectionate my small homeland.
Educator. We have a globe in our group. Which depicts all the countries of the world. Let's find our country on it.
Children show Russia on the globe.
Some cities are also marked on the globe. There are a lot of them in the world - big and small. Noisy and quiet, beautiful and ordinary. But each country has its own center, its own heart. Who knows what kind of cities these are?
Children. These are the capitals.
Educator. Name our capital Motherland.
Children. Moscow.
The teacher shows the city of Moscow on the globe.
Educator. What is the name of our city?
Children. Rasskazovo.
Educator. Our town big or small?
Children. Small.
Educator. That's right, small one, it's not on the globe. Can you guess him in the photo?
Educator. I have many photographs of different cities. I suggest you choose from them images of our city and the capital of our country, Moscow. Take photographs of Moscow to the table located to my right, and photographs of our city to the table located to my left.
Di: "Guess the City"
Children choose photographs.
Educator. Let's check if you completed the task correctly. Let's name what is shown in photographs of the city of Moscow.
Children. Red Square. Monument to A.S. Pushkin, Tsar - cannon, Tsar - bell.
Educator. Now let's name what is shown in the photographs of our city.
Children. Church of St. John the Evangelist, monument to Lenin, city square, monument Borodino bread.
Educator. Well done guys, you know the sights and capitals of our Motherland Moscow and our city. I would also like to talk to you about the symbols of our state. I invite you to take part in the quiz "Symbols of Russia". Let's split in two teams: one team will sit at a table on which there are photographs of Moscow, the second - at a table with photographs of our city.
The children are seated at the tables.
So first question: what are the distinctive signs of the state?
Children. Flag, coat of arms, anthem.
Educator. What does the National Flag mean?
Children. Unity of the country.
Educator. What other purpose does a flag have?
Children. Serves as a sign or symbol of power.
Educator. What does the Russian flag look like?
Children. It is rectangular in shape and consists of three stripes of white, blue and red.
Educator. I have prepared stripes of these colors for you and propose to fold them into a Russian flag. Pay attention to the exact placement of each color.
Di: "Put out the flag"
Educator. We completed this task. Now let's talk about the anthem. Why does the country need an anthem?
Children. This is the main song of the country, solemn, accepted as a symbol of state unity.
Educator. How do they listen to the national anthem?
Children. Standing.
Educator. And they completed this task. Now let's talk about the coat of arms. What does the coat of arms of our country mean?
Children. It is a sign or symbol of power. It denotes the unity of the country and its independence from other states.
Educator. - long ago, in knightly times, when there were battles, knights fought with swords, and defended themselves from enemy swords and arrows with a shield (showing illustrations). In order for the warriors to know where their knights were and where the strangers were, images were made on the shields. Usually these were animals or birds, those with whom the knight compared himself. For example, one army had a shield with the image of an eagle in battle, and another had a lion. And then during the battle it was possible not to confuse where one’s warrior was and where the enemy’s. And so the shield became the basis of the coat of arms of the country and the city. Guys, who knows what the Russian shield looks like?
Children. The red shield depicts double headed eagle, on the heads of the birds and between them there are three crowns intertwined with a ribbon, in the claws there is a scepter and an orb.
Educator. As I already said, cities also have their own coat of arms. On the shield of the coat of arms of the city of Moscow in the center is St. George the Victorious, who defeats the dragon with his spear. This is one of the ancient symbols of the struggle between good and evil, light and darkness, and the defense of the Fatherland. Our city also has its own coat of arms. Who knows what he looks like?
Children. The coat of arms of the city of Rasskazov is a red shield. In the center is tanned leather, against its background is a ball of black yarn. Golden ears of corn emerge from this composition like rays. On top of the coat of arms is decorated with a crown, along which knowledgeable person will immediately understand the status of a populated area - an urban settlement.
Educator. What do all these parts of the coat of arms mean?
Children. The color red signifies strength, love, courage, bravery and beauty. The leather and the ball indicate that there are almost three centuries of traditions of tanning hides, cattle breeding, and the production of wool and products made from it. The silver color of the tanned skin is a symbol of peace, peace, mutual understanding, purity, and perfection. The black color of the ball speaks of prudence, wisdom, modesty, and honesty of the storytellers. Twenty-four spreading ears symbolize, firstly, agriculture, which was practiced by both the first settlers and modern residents, and secondly, there are as many spikelets as there are hours in the day - this indicates the passage of time, the continuity of generations, the continuation of traditions. Golden ears, which symbolizes wealth, constancy, fertility, sunlight.
Educator. That's how much meaning is put into the coat of arms of our city! I suggest team 1 to lay out the coat of arms of Moscow from the details, and team 2 - the coat of arms of the city of Rasskazovo.
A game: "Lay out the city's coat of arms"
Educator. Our city also has its own flag. Who knows. What do the flag and coat of arms of the same city have in common?
Children. The flag and coat of arms have common symbols.
Educator. Right. Rasskazov’s flag is red, in the center of the flag there is a tanned skin, on it there is a ball of black wool, and there are golden ears of corn around it. Now let's play a game "Coat of arms - flag". If I show you a coat of arms, you show your palms; if you show a flag, raise the river up and sway them from side to side, as if the flag is fluttering in the wind.
A game "Coat of arms - flag"
Educator. About love for Homeland people have put together a lot wise proverbs. Among them are such: "Russian man without does not live in his homeland» , “The native side is the mother, the foreign side is the stepmother”. It happens that a person finds himself in a foreign country, as they used to say in the old days, in a foreign land. And at first everything seems new to him, interesting: people, customs, and nature. But a little time will pass, and the heart will become sad and ask to go home, to its native side. Where everything is so close, familiar and so loved! After all “the heart aches for the beloved side”.

But let it be quiet in your soul
The little one lives.
Small village -
Houses, gardens.
You grew up happy.
Did you guys like the song?
Why does the song talk about gardens? (surround our village)
(SLIDE No. 7)
Yes, there really are gardens and fields around our village. At the end of the 19th century, having learned about the rich and fertile lands of Kuban, people from all over Russia began to come here. They began to build their houses on the outskirts of the city, cultivate the land, and plant gardens. And gradually our village began to be surrounded by gardens on all sides, and therefore its first name was “New Gardens”.
Our village has always been considered part of the city of EKATERINODAR. But it was sharply different from the whole city, because it was surrounded by gardens and fields, and the people who lived here cultivated them. And then the residents of “GARDENS” decided to separate from the city and create their own village council. With this request they turned to the national elder Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin. Kalinin helped them. And in honor of him, the village began to be called Kalininsky, and over time it was renamed the village of Kalinino
Look at the plan of our village. (the teacher shows the streets on the plan, the children find them on their plans) In “New Gardens” there were only two streets, Extreme and Middle. Krainaya Street is now called Rossiyskaya. And Srednyaya Street is now called May 1st. On one side there were gardens in which apple, cherry, and plum trees grew; on the plan we see that houses are now being built in their place, but some of the gardens still remain. And on the other side of the village there are fields where strawberries, peas, tomatoes, beets, zucchini, etc. are still grown.
3.- Now put it in front of you plans our village and prepare colored pencils. Now you yourself will mark the streets, fields and gardens on them.
Do you remember which street used to be called Extreme? (Russian).
Find it on your plans and shade it in yellow.
Find it and shade it in blue.
Remember what is around our village? (gardens, fields)
Let's celebrate gardens and shade them green.
And on the other side of the village of Kalinino there is a sea of fields.
Let's shade fields brown.
Who lives in our village, find and mark my house, drawing a house.
What is the name of the street where our school is located? (Ussuriyskaya).
Find Ussuriyskaya street and shade it red.
Mark it on our school orange.
(SLIDE No. 8)
PHYSMINUTE. Guys, we have done a lot, now let’s take a rest and see how you remember the names old and new. If I say the old name, you will stomp, if I pronounce the new name, you will clap. Be careful. And so, we stood up and prepared our palms.
RUSSIAN - EXTREME
KALININO – NEW GARDENS
EKATERINODAR – KRASNODAR
4. - Well done. And so we marked the school on the plans. Previously, there was no school at all in our village. And the Sadovians really wanted their children to be literate.
And they twice appealed to the city council with a request to open a school in the gardens.
(SLIDE No. 9)
And finally, in 1903, the school was opened. These were two small huts covered with reeds.
(SLIDE No. 10)
A few years later, another small building was built on Rossiyskaya Street, a newer one made of brick. It is located on the territory of Memory Square.
Look guys, this is what our school looked like in those ancient times.
How many floors did it have? (1st floor)
But this building was very small, since the village grew every year, and there were more and more students. Therefore, in 1972 it was built new school. This is the building you are studying in now, (pay attention to the layout of our school)
Guys, how is our school building different from the old building? (There was 1st floor now 3rd, the main entrance, the porch is now large, the windows used to be small, now they are large, the school has a large sports ground)
Our school is named after Evgeniy Dorosh. This is a pioneer who hid the banner, and the Nazis learned about this and punished him by breaking his arms and legs in the courtyard of the old school. They threw him into the barn. The villagers learned about this, stole him and buried him near the school. There, near the old school building, his grave is located. But not alone, there is also a monument to fellow tankers who defended our village. Every year, on May 9, in the courtyard of the old school, students, teachers, veterans and residents of the village gather to honor the memory of those who died in the Second World War.
(SLIDE No. 11)
Our school has always been proud of its graduates and teachers, and I will name only a few of them:
MAKHANKO Natalya Vladimirovna – a graduate of our school, now – deputy head of the administration of the municipal formation of Krasnodar
NEKRASOVA Natalya Ivanovna – mathematics teacher, now – deputy head of the administration of the Prikubansky intra-city district
GLADYSHEVA Nadezhda Vladimirovna – graduate of our school – deputy administration of the Kalinin rural district

4. Homework:
Ask your parents and tell them if they studied at our school. Who were their teachers, what was interesting about their school life.
Rave! Complete nonsense!
Rave! Complete nonsense!
She is simply Motherland!
To the Motherland!
Registration number 0074167 issued for the work:
Does a “small homeland” exist?
The phrase “small homeland” appears both in conversations and in the press. I've always wondered - do people understand what it is? What are they talking about? Most likely not. Otherwise they would be embarrassed - why belittle the Motherland? Unfortunately, people rarely think about words anyway, and if these words are also found in the media, then even more so.
What if you think about it? "Small Motherland"? If it exists as such, then somewhere there must also be a “Big Motherland”. And perhaps also “Middle Motherland”. Well, anyone who has ever played football will assume the existence of a “Welterweight Motherland”.
Rave! Complete nonsense!
But there is one more question - why is she “Small”? Because of its size? Because of its importance? It’s really a shame to say this - “small homeland” is some kind of nonsense. Here is “Big Motherland” - it’s great, sonorous, impressive.
Rave! Complete nonsense!
There is always only one homeland; a person cannot have a whole set of “homelands”. There is no homeland, neither small nor big, nor low, nor high, nor wide, nor narrow - none!
She is simply Motherland!
Because the Motherland is that part of the Universe where you were born, and most likely, where you spent your childhood, where you grew up and matured. After all, our brightest memories are always associated exclusively with childhood. How could it be otherwise - after all, then, in childhood, we did not know that death exists - a painful separation from loved ones forever. They didn’t know about painful illnesses, about mental and physical pain, about suffering. We didn’t think about the transience of life. We didn’t think how offensive it would be to die, leaving this beautiful and mysterious world, leaving loved ones, favorite things, unfinished tasks, unknown secrets. Then we did not imagine all the horrors of frail old age. But, on the contrary, every year they grew, matured, became stronger, smarter and more beautiful, and thought that it would be like this forever.
But it was not so. Therefore, when sadness and suffering torment our soul, when we are tired of failures or pain, like a kite, torments our heart, then we mentally return to where it all began - where the sun always shines, where parents are forever young, where no worries and sorrows - in your early childhood. And therefore - to your homeland!
To the Motherland!
Not to a “small homeland,” but to one’s own, the only one in the world, Motherland. There, where your house stands, from the window of which you learned about the world, the yard where you played all day long and from where your mother could not drag you home. The street you walked along to school. The bushes where you had your first kiss. School is your school, where there were friends and enemies, love, separation, victories and failures - everything is YOURS and only YOURS!
Yes, of course, the Motherland does not have a clearly defined border. Everyone has their own. Some have more, some have less. It all depends on your lifestyle. One spent his entire childhood in one yard and on one street, for the other it expanded to other streets, and even to other cities. For me, for example, a house in a completely different area of Moscow is still infinitely expensive, only because my first love lived there. And now, despite the fact that several decades have passed, I return to it, as if I had come to my home - I run my hand along its walls, touch the door handle (which has not changed since then!) and let her name , which I once scratched on the wall, has already been painted over and covered up several times, so that there is no trace left of it, I still remember where it was and pressing my cheek to this place - I understand - this is the Motherland!
Sometimes the way of life, on the contrary, prevents us from feeling that uniqueness, that “birthplace” of the place that we call the Motherland. I have met, in particular, military children, whose childhood was so “scattered” across different corners The land that his “homeland” did not consist of. One class is here, the other is here. Either the desert, or the taiga. Leapfrog and no attachments.
We are growing and the concept of the Motherland is growing with us. It is expanding, but how? It seems to me - depending on some spiritual and aesthetic priorities inherent in us. They are embedded so deeply that we are not only unable to change them, but we are not even able to understand them as a whole. I've always wondered why I like one thing, but not another - almost exactly the same. Why do I feel like Leningrad is like home, and Vyborg, which is literally sixty kilometers away, feels like a stranger. Why is Saratov in my homeland, and Volgograd in a foreign land. It's difficult to explain.
It turns out that those places where we feel at home increase our Motherland. For each person, the concept of Motherland has its own dimensions.
But no one dares to “measure their homelands” with each other - who has the longest! A person is not capable of such blasphemy. Then where did this notorious “small homeland” come from?
The ruling circles have always tried to combine the concept of “Motherland” and “the lands they own.” They transferred the holiness of each person’s Motherland to everything that belonged to them. Their country had to turn into common man to his Motherland, the Greater Motherland. In order to push people to another massacre to protect their own interests and their own territories, to give this massacre the status of a “sacred” defense of their homeland.
But the real Motherland, which each person has their own, in their opinion, became a “small homeland.” It was impossible to take it away, so as not to shake the sanctity of the “Big Motherland,” which is why they came up with such a diminutive and derogatory name for it. Small means unimportant! So that every citizen understands his smallness compared to the rulers. You are small and your homeland is small! We are great and our homeland is huge.
Remember the slogan of the period of stagnation? "Our Motherland is the USSR." You can't think of anything more stupid. It turned out that my homeland is Siberia with its taiga, and middle Asia with its deserts, and Ukraine with its lard and the Far North with its tundra. And most importantly - foreign countries, such as Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tataria, with their own history, culture, tradition, religion, which we not only do not know, but also do not understand and do not perceive - is also my Motherland. And laughter and sin. Indeed, against this background, my real Motherland seemed so small, so insignificant, that there seemed to be no point in remembering this nonsense. This is how the communist regime tried to deprive us of our true homeland, slipping in a palliative instead - a set of territories in which there was no logical connection, except that they were all able to be captured and held for some time.
The artificiality of the “Big Motherland” is palpable - governments change, and along with them, the territories they hold change. Does this mean that the Motherland is changing? What nonsense! Homeland - it is unchanged! This is something that is not subject to any rulers. It’s not for nothing that they say “The Motherland is the mother.” You cannot find another mother, you cannot find another Motherland.
I can still understand the slogan - “my homeland is planet Earth.” There is logic in it - all over the earth there are more or less acceptable places for human existence.
Therefore, for me there is no “small homeland”, there is no big homeland, for me there is only one homeland - places familiar from childhood and youth and what is close to me in spirit, in mood, where I come with a feeling of my own home. And everything else is just a country of which I, by chance, am a citizen.
Nowadays, people are increasingly becoming supporters of cosmopolitan views, which were previously condemned. Nevertheless, now one can also notice a fairly clear division in that area of the worldview that concerns the origins.
Different opinions
For some, not only the large, but also the small homeland is of great importance. This is a patriotic attitude towards the land, towards one’s country, towards the city and region in which a person was born.
Others do not have such attachment and consider the whole world or the place where they happened to live by the will of fate to be their home. It is not our task to determine which views are better. What is based on feelings, on perception and, by and large, depends on the people around you, on upbringing, is difficult to rationalize. But just a small homeland is our hometown, district, yard, that is, places with which we are emotionally connected. This is the school and neighbors, these are favorite corners - parks, alleys, groves, where a person felt comfortable, where he dreamed of the future, where he was formed as a person.
small homeland?
One can argue for a long time about how much the surrounding nature and environment influence character and views. For most of us, our small homeland is a place that evokes nostalgic memories, which is always associated with home, with family. With something that is perceived positively, with a tinge of sadness. A small homeland is both an object of care and an object of human affection. Dealing with yard cleanup or development issues hometown, we show love to this place. And this is much more effective (also in terms of education) than abstract discussions about patriotism and why the big and small homeland should always evoke love and worship. Should not. And even more so, it cannot become political. But, as the poet said, “love for fatherly tombs” always resonates in a person. Patriotism is a feeling that is formed in childhood and which then becomes part of the worldview.
The concept of “small homeland,” although firmly associated with a specific territory, with a certain corner of the globe, is much more strongly determined by the people around us. Whether a person develops a sense of home and attachment to it depends on the family and parents. In addition, personal responsibility for the world around us is also formed in childhood. If a person feels good, comfortable, if he is accustomed by adults to the fact that a lot also depends on his activities, he will take care of preserving and developing this small corner of the earth. For him, his small homeland is not just the place where he was born and grew up. It evokes nostalgic memories, a nagging feeling of sadness, a desire to care and improve. For him, the proverb “Where he was born, he fits in” is relevant.
But the formation emotional attitude Each of us has our own way of getting to our small homeland. Some people cannot imagine life away from home, from family. Others, on the contrary, strive to break out of the environment where they grew up, leave and settle in a new place. For them, home is where people close to them in spirit are, and not where they were born. However, we can safely say that in patriotic feelings, a small homeland is the most significant image. In contrast to the abstract concept of the fatherland in general, which can be formed with the help literary works, films, folk culture, for each of us it is associated with family, childhood friends, and favorite places.
Our homeland is Russia, but each of us has a place where he was born, where everything seems special, beautiful and dear. Nothing on earth can be closer, sweeter than the small Motherland.
For some it is a big city, for others it is a small village, but all people love it equally. We grow and mature, but we will never forget our small Motherland. Every person should love his small Motherland, know its history, wonderful people who were born and raised here.
For me, my small homeland is a small village - Nikitinsky, where I have been living for 3 years now, where I spent my childhood.
Our village is a small, cozy corner where there is a lot of beauty. All conditions have been created here for a calm and carefree life, away from the bustle and problems of the city. Here people can relax and have a good time.
And it all began like this: a huge field of oats, birch copses, the soft autumn sun generously flooding everything around with its rays, birds singing - that’s all that the first residents and builders of the village saw and heard.
The village of Nikitinsky was founded in 1961, named after the engineer Nikitin, who drew up the construction plan.
Construction began of both wooden houses and brick buildings for various institutions: schools, kindergarten, clinics, clubs, libraries.
The local nature is beautiful and varied.
The village is surrounded by small birch groves and forests.
Rye and wheat ripen in the fields, and berries, mushrooms and a variety of medicinal plants grow in the forests.
There are two artificial reservoirs, which are called local residents like Nikitinsky and Tambovsky ponds.
Our village is very beautiful in all seasons.
In winter it looks like a fairyland. It is especially beautiful in spring when cherry, bird cherry, apple and lilac trees begin to bloom. In summer the village is all green, and in autumn everything is decorated with gold.
Local residents love their village and try to make it more comfortable and beautiful: they plant trees and flowers, build playgrounds, take part in community cleanups, and protect and protect nature. The streets are always clean. The development of the village does not stand still; it is constantly changing.
The people here are very kind, friendly and helpful, which is the most important asset of the village. It is their work that sustains the life of my small Motherland.
Holidays are just as fun and cheerful. All residents of the village: both adults and children take part in sports competitions, fun competitions, quizzes. The songs of local creative groups can be heard everywhere.
In 2011, the village celebrated its 50th anniversary. All residents celebrated their birthday together.
And even though there are no architectural monuments in my village, no beautiful brick buildings, it is dear to me because it has become my little Motherland.
I love this village because it is not like any other city.
I want it to be the cleanest, most blooming, welcoming and cozy. But for this, we all must love and take care not only of ourselves, but also of everything that surrounds us. And we, the younger generation, will try to do everything to make our village prosper and become better and better.
When I grow up, I will leave here, but the best moments of my life associated with the village will forever remain in my memory.
I wish my village prosperity and prosperity.
