It is not easy but i still like to learn it. But i am also definitely the cutest! I am learning to play the piano. My sister bullies me sometimes, but i still love her very much.įinally, there is me… I am the youngest in my family and also the smallest. She plays with me sometimes when she has finished all her homework. This is my elder sister (pointing to the photograph). I am very lucky to have my mother take care of me and the whole house. My mother also takes time to volunteer with underprivileged children. It is very fun spending time with my mother. It’s more like playing games and i love to learn with her. She always cooks my favourite food and she is a lovely cook too! My mother teaches me at home. But now she stays home to take care of all of us. My mother used to work as a nurse and a teacher.
SHOW N TELL NOTE FOR KINDERGARTEN FREE
My father likes to jog in his free time and it keeps him healthy and strong. Other than taking care of the family my father also likes to bring us for family holidays which i really love. As a leader of the house, he takes care of the family by going out to work to find money. not this head! (Pointing to her own head! Hahaa!) A head of the family means, that my father is the leader of the house. My father is the head of the family… No no no. There is my father, my mother, my elder sister and I. (Pointing to the family photograph) My family consists of 4 people. Today, i am going to talk about my family. Here is a brief account of what she prepared for her Show & Tell. We also added some hand gestures to make it look like story telling / sharing instead of a straight rod speech.

I guided her with extra bits here and there for the added punch line. She wrote her own piece and i also encouraged her to use her own words as much as possible.

Number of people in the family, the roles and responsibilities of each family member, favourite hobby of each family member, (etc)… Next up, we expand and brainstorm on those areas with more details / information. We start by mind mapping what are the areas she wanted to cover / talk about. While some parents prepare their children for Show & Tell by writing down their own simple points or the sentences that they have come up with for their children… there are parents like me who like to get the kiddies down to the preparation work. To be involved in the process. It’s like research work for their own project. I blew up the picture and had it laminated for her actual session. We looked through some recent family photographs and she picked out one picture of our recent holiday trip… she says since she was going to speak about her family, it was imperative that the eventual photograph selected must have all four of us (family members) in it. My daughter chose My Family for show and tell. The session has to be done spontaneously… which means NO last minute prepz please! The children will not be allowed to read from any notes or cue cards that may have been prepared from home. Parents are encouraged to help prepare their children for it. Topics for show and tell were given in advance somewhere 3 to 4 weeks prior to the actual session. Hope these can be suggestions for your children’s future preparation… Here are a couple of stuff i did with my daughter.

Our children can be prepared for both the above activities much easier than we credit them for. Primary schools that do away with exams for P1 students have implemented Show & Tell and Written Expression as formative assessments.
