As part of the daily routine in Ms. Huinker's classroom, children wash their hands. The sink area has all of the essential items required for the routine within easy reach of the children. A step stool provides easy access to the sink with a soap dispenser nearby. The paper towel dispenser is on the wall next to the sink and the garbage can is also close so children have everything they need to independently complete the routine.
