Presentation
- Take the tray to a table or mat.
- Step two
- Step three
Different classrooms handle the removing of the water from the tray in different way. Some have the children pour the water directly back into the pitcher. Some have the children move the water back to the pitcher with a small baster. Some have the children empty the tray into the sink and the refill the pitcher for the next child. Do whatever works best for you.
