In this exemplar video, a teacher moves between learning centers to support children working with materials. Notice how the teacher assists children during a sink-and-float activity and then joins children in dramatic play, where she labels their activity, introduces the word “bouquet,” and demonstrates how to arrange flowers in a vase. This is an example of assisting children working with materials by providing descriptions and labels, demonstrating function, and extending children’s thinking.
