Show and Tell
June 23rd, 2008 by Ashley
Thanks to Angelina Ballerina my girls have become obsessed with show and tell. So we decided to try out having our own show and tell, and invited a few friends.
Miss A was very concerned that we were not doing it at a school with desks, so I tried to explain that when you are homeschooled, you do things at home instead of school. This wasn’t really the answer she was looking for and she continued to go on about needing desks pretty much until our friends were at the door. Then, luckily, she forgot.
My goal in hosting show and tell was that the kids would get an opportunity to stand up and talk in front of others, but also (more importantly) an opportunity to sit quietly and listen to others. I was a little skeptical as to how well it woud go, but it was great.
The kids were SO into it. They all brought toys of course, and all just wanted to keep talking even when they didn’t really have anything left to say. Sadly I didn’t think to take any pictures while they were doing it. Oh well.
Everybody brought their lunch (another exciting thing to do when you’re homeschooled and don’t do that everyday), so they had fun eating outside and then playing for awhile. A very successful day:)
