We have started doing a show and teach moment with the children. The goal of this time is to give the children a chance to speak publicly and to teach their peers about something. I think I was a little unclear in my expectations and I never posted here for parents last week, so we ended up with a few things that weren’t appropriate. I apologize for the oversight and confusion. Here are some examples of appropriate things to bring/share during this time.
Anything brought in must be able to fit in their locker unless you get prior approval from me. They also have 2-3 minutes depending on the subject. Toys are not allowed. This time will be on Fridays but it will not be every Friday. I will tell your children the weeks we do it as they come up.
- Tell about a family vacation they went on and teach the other children about where they visited and what they saw. 1 souvenir is acceptable to show.
- A story they wrote that they want to share
- A rock or fossil they want to show the class they found/bought.
- Artwork
- Tell about a favorite book they have read.
- Act out a short skit or sing an appropriate song
- Share a work they are especially proud of
- Pictures of them learning a new skill at home like rock climbing, swimming, or riding a bike.
- Tell about a science experiment they did
- Teach the other children about something they learned that really excited them.
Please just email me if you have any questions.
