One In A Minion

Dear Parents,

It is time for SHOW-and-TELL.

Let's list the possible gains that students can receive from show and tell:

· Learn to speak and listen.

· Learn how to be an audience and introduce themselves.

· Learn how to ask inquiry based questions.

· Learn to make connections between student responses.

· Anticipate and observe.

· Practice critical reasoning skills.

· Practice storytelling.

· Learn same and different.

· Use variety of vocabulary

· Use descriptive language.

· Say thank you.

· Increase confidence.

Isn't this somewhat similar to what great doctors, scientists, lawyers and even teachers may practice on a daily basis?

Have them also show something to the class because this will make their show-and-tell

more enjoyable and it can help them

Have your child practice with you at home so they can feel prepared and confident
