On screen: As Christina Peck speaks, video clips show her interacting with children. The children are playing with plastic tubs of various sizes and shapes. Christina monitors and narrates their actions as they get in and out of the larger plastic tubs and place various objects in and out of the smaller tubs.

Christina Peck, Infant and Toddler Educator: We’re already kind of geared towards choosing some core vocabulary that we're working on, which is inside, on, empty, and full.

She's inside.

The materials we had clearly tied into that, because we were filling up and emptying and having a little chant that they're pretty familiar with.

On screen: Christina sings to the children.

Ashley: Inside, on, empty and full. Inside, on, empty and full.

It kinda connects us to, yes, these words are meaningful. I'm filling up this basket and I'm dumping it out.

On screen: Children pick up items from the floor and place them into wicker baskets. Christina points to the basket of a child named Yolo.

Christina: You filling up your basket?

On screen: Moments later, Yolo is seen sitting in a small white tub.

Christina: Well, you're sitting inside. Look at Yolo sitting inside that little tub. That's funny.

On screen: Yolo gets out of the tub and begins to push it forward in a crawling motion. Another child gets up from Christina’s lap and points at the boy.

Christina: Yeah, he sat in a little tub. Sometimes we sit in the big tubs.

On screen: Christina resets the two large plastic tubs so the children can continue interacting with them. Another child approaches and asks for her attention.

Christina: Do you want that on? Or do you want to come into a tub?

On screen: Moments later, Christina is holding the child, and two other children are sitting in the large plastic tubs. Another child approaches Christina with a small bowl that’s full of small objects. The child in her arms begins playing with the objects, taking them out and tossing them about. Yolo gets into one of the large tubs with another boy while holding one of the smaller white tubs in his hand.

Christina: They put the little tubs inside the big tubs. Just be careful with his head, okay? Is there room for two boys in a tub?

Text on screen: A special thanks to the children, families, and staff of the Office of the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools’ Lighthouse for Children Child Development Center, without whose help these videos would not have been possible
