Show and Tell

I just wanted to remind you all that every Friday we will have Show and Tell.  The items selected should reflect the theme of the week, unless otherwise noted.  I will do my best to send home Show and Tell reminder notices to help you with this.  If I should forget, you can always come to the blog and click on the calendar to see what the theme for the week is.

Here are some guidelines:

• Items should reflect the theme of the week
• Unless otherwise noted, please only send in one item
• Items should be small enough to fit in your child's backpack
• Items should not be of extreme value that would be problematic if they become misplaced or accidentally broken (I will do everything in my power to ensure this does not happen.)
• Items should not be made of extremely fragile materials such as glass
• Items should be ones that your child selects with your assistance or guidance 
• Items may include toys, books, pictures, music, puzzles, trinkets etc... 

Be creative and have fun with the selection.  This is meant to be an experience that is enjoyable and exciting for your child!

 

During Show and Tell time, your child will be asked to sit on the bench in front of the class with his/her item.  He/she will then describe the item to the best of his/her ability to the class.  I will assist your child, as necessary, in describing the item to his/her peers.  This will be done by asking various questions and providing choices. Some questions I may ask are; What did you bring today?, Where did you get it?, Who gave it to you?, What does your (item) do?, Why did you bring it in?, Why is this item important to you?  Additional questions will be asked as they arise naturally during conversation with your child. If you are able to, it would be extremely helpful if you reviewed some of the questions that may be more difficult for your child to answer prior to Show and Tell.

Thank you for all of your support and cooperation.
