Consider...Malik

When 4-year-old Malik arrives in his preschool, he finds a spot and sits next to his friends on the mat. The teacher greets everyone, and the children sing together. Once the group singing activity is over, Malik chooses to go to the area with crayons and paper. He practices printing out the letters of his name on a paper. The teacher soon indicates it is time for outdoor play. Malik puts the crayon back in the box and his paper on the shelf. He lines up by the door with his friends. Once outdoors, he runs to the swing with other boys and he takes turns pushing and swinging. When the teacher indicates that it is snack time, Malik lines up to wash his hands, walks into the preschool room and sits on the mat with his small group.
