 Perhaps you've heard from your child about sharing, which is a favorite part of each day.  Sharing provides children with a great opportunity to practice speaking to an audience with a loud, clear voice (especially important with masks!) and using details to describe what they are sharing.  At the same time, the rest of the class has a chance to practice actively listening by sitting quietly, looking at the speaker, thinking about what the speaker is saying and trying to think of thoughtful comments or questions about the share.   Children do not have specific share days at this point, but they may share one time each week.  Children are welcome to share anything as long as it is a reasonable size and can be put away in their backpacks for the day. Children have shared a wide array of things including stuffies, toy trucks, hats,  bracelets, fresh snow, and even a live bug! We have also had lots of fantsastic telling shares, which are my favorite because they require particularly acute listening without a visual representation.
