Each child has the right to select her own work. He/She can use the material in an appropriate manner, even experimentally. |
Each child must replace her material back on the correct shelf when he/she is finished. He/She is responsible for cleaning her own spills and replacing what she used. He/She must work on a table or mat and not on a shelf so that others can access the material. |
