• You should think about what you will say and practice it once or twice. You could do this by telling a family member about your share.  Try to give some interesting details.

Parents- The objective of this activity is to give your child the opportunity to become comfortable presenting in front of his/her classmates as well as to practice responding to questions and comments from the other students.  Show and share also benefits those not sharing by strengthening their listening skills and providing practice in asking appropriate questions and making appropriate comments.
