"We're the teachers"

We came in from out door play, Drew, Jake, and Rylan looked at the schedule board (behind them) decided to manipulate the "time" visuals, and announced "they" were going to be the "teachers" They began singing "shalom chaverim." Soon friends, Dylan and Lily K., joined in to lead us in song. When we acknowledge children's choices and actions, we provide them with much opportunity to grow in confidence and comfort to explore and take risks in safe environment like school.
