We asked the children to sit down on the rug for a quick meeting before we left for the Fire Station. As I waited for all the children to find a seat, I heard Aden say, "I know Mia you can trade places with Teddy Fox". Mia wanted to sit near Hadley, but Aden was on one side of Hadley and Teddy F was on the other. Aden's suggestion was great, but Teddy did not want to move out of the blue chair. He rarely gets a chance to sit in the blue "back jack" chair. It was a good thing for Mia that Aden had another suggestion..."Mia you can sit were I am sitting, and I can move my chair back!" You could see how happy Aden was to help Mia. I immediatly thanked Aden for helping Mia problem solve, and for moving his chair over so Mia could sit next to Hadley. I pointed to the problem solving strategies posted in the classroom and I asked the children, "Which strategy did Aden use?" Isaiah raised his hand and said, "Negotiate" and everyone ealse agreed. Aden you definitly filled Mia's bucket today!
