Transcript
These are our special helper charts. Every day we have a special helper, and that person gets to sit on the special helper chair, they're first in line, which is really important for kindergarten children, they help the teacher with any little odd jobs. So they're very special for that day. And I made a chart with a list of the children's names, and I alternated colors so it'd be easy to read. So we simply start at the top of the list and move the arrow down, every day.
