Show and Tell
December 19
We are going to continue 'Show and Tell' with our children every Thursday. However, we have changed the procedure and only the selected students will bring something to share with the class. The selected students will receive a bracelet on Wednesday as a reminder. We have done this so that every child gets a turn. They can bring in anything of their choice to speak about and explain to their friends. It can be a toy, a photograph of their friends or family, game etc. Please label anything brought in.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
We are expressing ourselves in different ways mostly by speaking our minds and moving our body. Listening and observing is a way of understanding one another and knowing when to use our soft and loud voices. We are practicing soft voice or inside voice while in our classroom which helps them to calm down and regulate their feelings. You can also try it at home!
A must read on how tablets and smartphones impact our child's development.
