In this prepared, multi-age, environment, there is a variety of activity as well as a great deal of movement. In a preschool classroom, for example, three-year-olds may be busy with Practical Life. Here children can practice buttoning or washing dishes.
 
A four-year-old, nearby may, be working on Language Arts, composing words and phrases with letters known as the movable alphabet, reading to a group or working on sounds with sandpaper letters.
