Bringing Back Show and Tell

Show and Tell?

Really?

Who still does that??

I do.  

How do you have time to do something fun and that serves no educational purpose?

Umm, I make the time and it most certainly does serve an educational purpose.

Remember those pesky Speaking and Listening Common Core Standards?

You don't?

Well, you should.

SHow and Tell is a great way to address those standards AND inspire writing….PLUS it's fun =)

Here are some pictures of our first show and tell:

Jack brought his Sphero 2.0 Ball, complete with free demonstration.

Jack and the rest of the class loved sharing and being "experts" about their object.  I love that the kids came in excited for the day.  They "present" about their object and then take 3 questions from the audience.  They had the best time!  My pack includes slides for becoming great presenters and a great audience, along with ideas for questions to ask.

Engagement?  Yes, please.  He is raising his hand to ask questions…QUESTIONS!!

The whole activity took about 30 minutes (for my class of 14 kiddos).

If you have already purchased it, download it again because I've made some HUGE improvements.

You can find the pack {here} on TpT

Here are the first grade standards that the pack addresses:

The pack also includes a letter for parents and writing prompts for before and after Show and Tell.
