By giving preschoolers jobs at home and in the classroom, we can allow them an opportunity to feel like they belong and are significant in their world. During class time, one of the activity choices today was cutting the ends off of the green beans that we were going to eat for lunch. This was a very popular choice and the kids were excited to contribute. Later on during lunch, they discussed how they each helped cut the beans. They were eager to eat them too!
When kids participate in all of the processes of their day, they can take ownership and responsibility for their actions. When they spill the food while serving themselves or put their pants on backwards they have the opportunity to learn from their mistakes.
