Sharing

                                                show and tell

In third grade we don't do sharing on a regular basis.  However, if students have something interesting and informative that pertains to our course of study I do encourage them to bring it in and share it with the class.  Students need to make arrangements with me prior to bringing in their sharing so that I can schedule it into our day.  Let's make this an educational experience.  No toys please.  We also have a V.I.P. (Very Important Person) selected each week.  Each day Monday through Friday they will have an assigned share such as All About Me form, photos, hobbies/collections/favorite toy, favorite book and a family share or tradition.  The selected student will be given a V.I.P. packet on the Friday before that explains the sharing assignment.
