Introduction

(2 minutes)
  • Gather the class together. Say, "Today we're going to learn about taking turns. What does it mean to take a turn?"
  • Allow students to share ideas with a partner. Then say, "Taking turns means that we are giving each other a chance to use something. We take turns because it is one of the ways that we take care of each other in the classroom."
