Working together, the children unrolled long pieces of toilet paper (what a treat!), tore them from the roll, and ripped them into tiny bits. This sounds easy, but toilet paper is so thin and soft that it was quite a bit of work! We ripped and ripped and ripped until a small pile started to accumulate in the plastic bin.
As word of the activity spread around the room, the crowd grew. Space around the project area was tight. As cries of, "I want to do it!" were heard, children slid over, allowing peers to join the fun. When Sam said, "I need toilet paper!" Sandy passed the roll right to him. At this point in the year, I notice these successful examples of sharing of space and materials every day.
