Mr. T. (teacher) has noticed a puppet lying on the ground in the playground. He picks it up, examines it, and puts it in his pocket. During circle time, he says, “Orville (puppet’s name) was on the ground in the yard today. Raise your hand if you know where he should be put after we play with him. Olivia, I see your hand. Would you please put Orville in the place in the classroom that’s just for him? Thank you, Olivia. What could happen to Orville, our puppet, if we left him on the floor or ground?” “He’d get stepped on,” Thad offers. “That could happen, Thad,” said Mr. T. “Can anyone else think of what might happen to Orville on the ground outside?” Mr. T. continues. “The ants would crawl on him,” Jessica comments.
