It's amazing how much teamwork and friendship building can happen throughout the day. It can start with something as simple as someone asking for help with a puzzle. Today while working on a puzzle, I saw several of my three year olds working together to help complete it. I often notice that when I sit down to do an activity with a child, other students will notice and want to participate, too. And when that happens, kids who don't normally play together on a regular basis have a chance to interact and find common interests and help build new friendships. This is what happened while working on the puzzle today. Three kids who don't normally play together were talking and working together to achieve a common goal. And while they all went their separate ways once the puzzle was completed, they got a chance to interact with other students and start building new friendships.
