Having completed the activity, the teacher asks the child
if he would like to repeat the exercise. If not, she explains
to the child that he can take the material
from the shelf at any time he likes and may work with it on
his own. The teacher shows the child how to put the material
back and explains that it is always kept in the same place and
should be put back for someone else to use. |

Note : The teacher must be firm about work being completed
and returned to the shelf. The children will soon get into
the habit and will get great satisfaction from the activities
they do.
