Sharing

Each day, 3 children have an opportunity to share news with the class. Then one of their friends can ask them a question about what they shared. Here is a sample of the news I hear.

"When I get home, I'm going to play with my Dora doll."
"One day, I'm going to go to the Science Center."
"In Spring, I'm going to China."
"Tomorrow is Saturday and I'm going to play Lego Batman."
"On the holiday, I'm going to go to a friends house and I'm going to stay."
"On the holidays, I'm going to go to the park."
"One day, on my next birthday, I'm going to a new place."
"One day, my dad went shopping for a Spiderman CD."
"I was playing skating on the computer."
"I'm going to Jamaica."

I love to hear what is going on in the children's life outside of school. Life experience is essential in the development of academic skills. It creates a knowledge base for the children to draw on, increases vocabulary and makes them more interesting people. Think about what your child would say if it was their turn for sharing. Try to provide your child with interesting experiences on a regular basis. You might even have fun, too. ;)
