POD B: Sharing

Since the children have been in school for 4 weeks now I have noticed a lot of changes.  One thing I have noticed is that there is more sharing going on as the children start to learn who the other children are.  In school we encourage the children to share as much as they can.  We understand that sometimes there is only one toy.  We are here to help the children find their own words to talk to the other children about sharing.  Today I noticed two girls playing in the discovery area.  One was playing with the magnet puzzle and the other one was interested in playing with it.

Laken started playing and then Addy asked, "Can I have a turn when you are done getting that piece?" Laken agreed and then when they were all done taking them out they put the puzzle back together.  There have been other days that children don't want to share because "They don't know what I am playing."  So we help them find the words to tell the children what they are doing then ask if they want to play with them.  The other child usually agrees and they go on playing. I look forward to many other days with the children learning new things.  Kayla Reid
