Amazing management trick
Yesterday I posted this picture:
See that turquoise paper underneath the blocks? Yep, that's it... my secret new management tip. I had an *ahem* interesting experience with my normally calm pumpkins when two of them started to have an intense disagreement over a box of blocks our first day of centers this week. Their real problem was that they (for some reason... like the fact that they are 5) couldn't leave the box in the middle of the table. So on the second day of centers, I simply placed this paper in the middle of the table. Then I put the block boxes on top. I told my pumpkins that the boxes were not allowed to leave the paper and the paper wasn't allowed to move.
Guess what happened!
