Katie is a shy, new 4-year-old who joined your group last week. She is partially sighted which means she must wear very thick glasses in order to see small details—what's more, the glasses also have heavy rims that make them conspicuous. At group time, when Katie sits down beside Amanda, she gives her a little push and says, "Go away, Bug-Eyes;" and when Katie doesn't move, Amanda gets up and

changes her seat. The most desirable way for the teacher to handle this situation is to:

a. invite Katie to come and sit by the teacher and turn the pages of the book.
b. take Amanda aside later and explain why Katie needs to wear the glasses while pointing out that calling her "Bug-Eyes" hurts her feelings.
c. tell Amanda she is cruel and unkind to hurt Katie's feelings, and you won't permit it.
d. ignore what happened, go on with the story, and explain another time to all the children what is "wrong" with Katie.
