Vignette
JoJo and Sadie have been making snakes and balls, and faces with their clay, and now it’s time to put things where they belong. JoJo puts her clay in its jar and snaps on the lid. Sadie puts her clay in its jar and snaps on the lid. The toddler teacher asks the girls, “Is this how I do it?” then snaps on the lid and puts the clay on top of the lid. JoJo says, “No – I’ll show you.” Then, she takes the clay off the lid, removes the lid, puts the clay in the jar, and snaps on the lid.
