Last week Aldo was on Spring Break so I was not able to visit Aldo until this week. When I got to the classroom one of the student's mom was helping in the classroom. She did an activity with the children where they made paper hats. The hat ranged from pirate hats, to fancy hat, to princess hats. The children really liked choosing a hat they wanted to make and being able to decorate them. Chelsea was also teaching the students about sharing. She had a princess crown that she shared with students who asked nicely to wear it.
During play time one of the boys was not following the rules. He had decided to play in the dramatic play area and went over to the dress up closet, took out all the clothes and set in the closet. Chelsea had me go over to get him to get out of the closet. He put up quite a fight as I tried to get him to move, but with a little of encouragement I was able to get him to get out of the closet. Chelsea also gave me tips on the importance of choice. She said that at this age level it is important to give children choice when they play so that they do something and take responsibility for what they need to do.
