Then my son's kindergarten teacher allowed show-and-tell but said "No toys." That's what I've adopted. Show-and-tell is allowed on your assigned day once a week, but no toys permitted. We've had dad's old football trophies, a dead praying mantis, and one kid who brought in and performed a science experiment! Some kids just pull scraps of old art projects out of their cubbies. If they want to talk about them, I'm fine with that. We also have, as an alternative, a question jar with very open-ended questions, like "If you were a teacher, how would you make your class quiet down?" We also allow telling a joke and,if they do bring a toy, our rule is that it stays in your cubby and you can tell us about it.Barbara Zaborowskihttp://barbarazab.tumbler.comnoreply@blogger.com
