On yet another day when we were stuck inside due to inclement weather, we spent time working at our classroom sand table. Though this may look like all fun and games, we are really practicing some very important social skills. We have to be patient and wait for our turn at the table, because too many children at one time makes it too crowded to be fun. The rules of the sand table must also be followed at all times to make sure everyone stays safe. We must control our excitement , and our hands, because sand in the eyes hurts, and sand on the floor causes slips and falls. Finally, sharing the toys is a skill we continue to work on daily. We have all done a fantastic job at learning and following the sand table rules while we are at play.
What a wonderful way to learn!
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SAND TABLE!
