Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk!

As preschool teachers, we see our students spill and drop a lot! And that's okay, right? Children spill and/or drop things. It happens. The children in my class know it's ok to spill. But the expectation is that when you do, you clean it up. Children are free to spill, because they know that if they do spill, they have the skills and tools to clean it up.

This is a picture of our "Spill Station" where students go to access the tools and materials they need, at their level, to clean up their spills or messes. Our students also use this area to help teachers clean up after art.
