03/8/XX Three-year-old room
Penny runs to sandbox carrying a tablespoon, empty orange juice can, and plastic teacup. She pushes Rene aside and intently begins to fill the can with sand, using spoon. She makes no comment to several other children around her. She picks up the can and dumps the sand on the floor outside the sandbox. Rene says, Teacher, Penny spilled the sand. Penny bangs the can down on sand, patting it flat, saying Cake. Rene comes around to Pennys side. She reaches for the can and asks Penny, Can I have this? Penny pulls the can back and stands still, staring at Rene. Rene gives Penny measuring spoons, a bucket, and a sand mill. Penny smiles at Rene, Rene smiles back. Penny says, Im making a cake. She takes a spoonful of sand and puts it on Renes hand. Rene takes can of sand and pours it on Pennys head. Teacher Penny yells. Rene hands juice can to Penny and walks away.
