Show and Tell
Dear Parents,
I
do show and tell in a variety of ways. Please check the homework to see if
there is a change. I like to have them share something that is meaningful to
them at certain times of the year. Please no toys unless it is relevant to the topic!
September
- All About Me- Please have your child bring in 5 items in a lunch bag that
tells about them...favorite book,picture,person,sport,game,animal... Help them
prepare by rehearsing at home. These may come in all month.



February - Love month - an item or a picture
of a person, place or thing they love.


****Guess,
Show, then Tell --
On the other show and tell days please do a guess, show,
then tell as it helps guide your child in oral presentation.
Your
child will have to give the class clues to figure out what is in the bag. (Toys
of violence, such as toy guns, toy swords, toy knives, etc. are not allowed at
school.)
Based on the clues that your child gives, the class will guess what is
in the bag.
Please practice with your child the night before. Please use the
guidelines below when practicing with your child:
Parent
asks Child answers
Color? - The color is....
Shape? - The shape is.....
Beginning sound? - It begins with the
letter sound...
Rhyming word? - It rhymes with....
Function/What does it do?- It is a
game... It is a toy... It is used in the kitchen... it is
something
you.... It is found...
Sound? - It sounds like ... make the
noise if the object has a sound.
Please encourage your child not to give
hints, show or tell until show and tell time.
If your child wants they can just share
using this format while showing it.
Please listen to them share to you; public
speaking is difficult to some.
Here are some sharing ideas you can try:
---A favorite book (put a marker
in your favorite part.
---Something they have made.
---Something special about
themselves (photo, trophy, treasure).
---An item from a unit that
we are studying or have studied.
