ScenarioScenario Ms. C is a kindergarten teacher. Everyday before Chinese, they have recess outside for 20

minutes. Then another 20 minutes to come back and get ready for Chinese.

Most of the time when the Chinese teacher stepped into their room, there were about four children lining up to go to bathroom, and about four children waiting at the sink.

At the same time, the teacher was doing something at her table, or sitting in front of the other children and waiting for the Chinese teacher.

After Chinese, when the Chinese teacher told her “Ms. C, I’m done.” She sometimes responded while doing job at her desk (which was blocked away by a big easel) “Ok. They can wait. They should be patient!”

Then the Chinese teacher left the room with a group of children playing with whatever they want on the carpet behind her.

Analyze the problems in this scenario with the contents we just talked about.

What suggestions would you give to Ms. C?
