Sean [yellow shirt] understands the relationship just fine, however, Jose struggled telling the teacher the relationship between the size of the mulch and the size of the water bottle.]]> 2018-07-21 05:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alezhacrowder/z73leaxiaa4g/wish/270738843 alezhacrowder https://padlet.com/alezhacrowder/z73leaxiaa4g/wish/270738972 Jose, Sean, and Abdul are collectively playing with the bead roller coaster toy while sitting on the carpet.

Sometimes children like to continue an activity for more time than expected. If this occurs, I would add a timer [5 minutes] and adjust the rule by having them switch upon hearing the timer go off. I would then take that free time to observe and assess which students are able to share during this activity, and which are not. My main focus would be on Jose and Abdul considering the incident that occurred earlier. The children who still struggle with sharing during this activity will receive further intervention with follow up activities during small group.]]> 2018-07-21 16:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/alezhacrowder/z73leaxiaa4g/wish/270754348 alezhacrowder https://padlet.com/alezhacrowder/z73leaxiaa4g/wish/270754708 SED5.1c - Engages in conflicts with peers regarding possession of items.
