There are so many things that both children and parents look forward to in the Early learning years. There are celebrations, festivals, performances, school picnics, and learning to read just to name a few.
One of the simple joys of childhood that many parents remember and children look forward to is Show and Tell.
Have you ever wondered why Show and Tell is such an elementary school staple? Is it just a fun activity, or is it actually an important part of the lesson plan?
Show and Tell is a fun and easy activity for kids that comes with tons of learning benefits. It boosts self-esteem, helps develop confidence, sharpens speaking and other social skills, and opens the door for kids to make easy friends with each other early in the school year. It even helps develop listening skills for those in the audience. For teachers, it’s also a sneaky way to find new ways to bond and connect with students and evaluate strengths or areas for improvement.
Our EY segment had its first show and tell with a topic they can easily connect to – My school. While the EY 1 spoke about their best buddies at school. Their peers in EY 2 spoke about the best school day so far. The EY 3 children spoke about their favorite place at school, a favorite activity at school, and People who help us at school. The enthusiasm with which our young learners performed was astounding.
