role play

Today while Sonia, Ava and Bella were decorating their challah bags, Sonia finished first.  She didn't want to leave the table, although she was quite satisfied with how her bag looked...just the right amount of stickers and color.

She decided to stay and help Bella and Ava get the stickers that they wanted.  Sonia began holding up stickers and asking which ones each girl preferred.  In certain circumstances, this teacher/adult role play could end quickly if the person "in charge" became too bossy or controlling.  However, Sonia was fair, respectful and took her job seriously.  Ava and Bella took turns with the sticker choices and were able to express their opinions and desires to Sonia.  The girls remained at the table decorating until it was time for clean up and circle.
