[quote=Anonymous]I used to teach preschool, one that did not have a sandbox. But if I did, I would not allow sand on hair or heads because of eyes and safety issues, but the hair issue is legitimate too— this is what I would have done. I would have tied a whole lesson around sandbox behavior. We would talk about how sandstays in the box unless you’re scooping. We would sit around and practice showing off our good sandbox skills and getting high praise. I would then closely monitor the sandbox during recess for a few weeks to make sure everyone is playing appropriately. Sometimes kids need to be explicitly taught how to handle situations, we can’t just assume they know what rules should be when we tell them. They need to see and feel to understand. And they also need to be culturally sensitive to others needs. That is taught as well. I hope the daycare or preschool can help. [/quote]
