-> SK>day (I believe it was called "sharing" instead of "show and
-> tell"). SK>The teachers gave a specific topic each Friday afternoon
-> that was the SK>topic for the next week. For instance, your favorite
-> TV show and why. SK>Or, your pet or favorite animal. They also went
-> over the proper way SK>to present your topic. (1)
-> Introduction...state what you are going to SK>talk about, (2) Main
-> part...discuss your animal, your vacation, your SK>tv show, whatever
-> it is, (3) Personal...a couple of sentences about SK>why it is
-> important to you, (4) Questions...allow other students to SK>ask you
-> a question.
-> One teacher I know has a sharing table where the children bring in
-> their sharing items and put them on the table for others to see.  The
-> formula you present above seems like a great idea.  I may give it a
-> try.
Do keep in mind that it was for children who were in 2nd grade and up.
I'm not sure if something that "structured" will work in kindergarten.
