Peer Mentors

At the ripe age of four, our students have become very independent in a lot of ways. Be it taking off their coats by themselves, or choosing where they want to play independently, it's really nice to see our students show their confidence in themselves throughout the day. But sometimes, there are times that they still ask for help!

One of the most popular choice time activities in the Haifa class is the dramatic play area, if only for the pretty shoes that we have available. Boys and girls alike love taking off their shoes from home in exchange for the sparkly shoes we have in dramatic play. As a way to help transition to clean up time, we give a five minute warning to signal that choice time is drawing to a close. When that happens, if we aren't wearing the shoes we came to school in, they have to change back.

Today during that time, Harper lovingly and willingly helped Olive change from the dress up shoes into her home shoes safely and securely. Seeing the two girls working together was such a treat because it was so natural and showed a true love between the classmates!
