We've been doing group sessions to the bathroom; it always seems to help the next ones see the potty routine! Here's how I would classify them: Avi is the "veteran" of the group, Atley is the "rookie," and I'll call Nora the potential "prospect." :) Avi likes the fact that she knows the routine and is helping the other two learn. (Atley kept her diaper dry all morning - two potty trips! Cheers!! And they cheer for each other.) I have the "observers" sit on the floor and I sit on the edge of the tub. Last week Avi joined me on the edge of the tub and then of course Nora tried. The next thing I knew Nora went over backwards into the tub!! Dang!! Thankfully she wasn't hurt!! So the "sitting on the floor" rule has been carefully observed and enforced after that!!
We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and like usual everyone was super engaged in checking it all out! Here are three pictures I took of Avi busy at work. Reading books, using a little electronic game, and putting the shapes on the stick following the example of the picture. Middle picture and the electronic game; Not sure what else to call it, but we try to have at least one "tech" type of activity in the preschool. I think kids probably get enough tech stuff at home so most of the stuff here is more hands-on learning.
Last picture: Avi was trying to give Nora another one of the egg-shaped shakers. Avi said, "You don't like hard-boiled eggs!?!" (Using an incredulous tone!) And she kept repeating it! Ha!
