3.B.02- Teaching staff create and maintain a setting in which children of differing abilities can progress...toward increasing levels of autonomy and responsibility...
The snack helper responsibilities given to the boy and girl in this clip provide an opportunity for each of them to develop responsibility and autonomy as they fulfill the requirements of the job. The girl setting the table does so without any guidance from teachers and the boy who is a dual language learner passes out milk in a method that works for him. All children are given the same opportunities to share in classroom responsibilities and contribute to the community.

9.5-Awareness of community
Children have an increasing awareness of belonging to a family, community, culture, and program.
A boy and girl show responsibility as a member of a community.
The "snack helper" job means different things in different classrooms. In one classroom, snack helpers distribute snack. A boy brings a bucket with cartons of milk around to his friends so they have something to drink during snack time. In another classroom, a girl distributes cups and straws at each place set around a table, ensuring her friends will have what they need for snack time.
11.1-Comparison and Number
Children understand amount, including use of numbers and counting.
A girl and boy get experience matching numbers one-to-one with objects.
