Preschoolers as teachers!

"I'm going to pretend to be the teacher," one child told me last week. He headed over to the letter of the week chart and grabbed the picture cards we use to introduce the letter of the week. He sat down on the teacher spool and started showing "the class" (a teacher and one child) the picture cards and asking, "What's this?" It's great to see children pretending in many different ways and roles.

The teacher and his assistant!

"What's this?" the teacher asks as he holds
out picture cards for the students to see.
