Friday Fun

It's Friday and Friday's are for fun.

Many pre-school and kindergarten classes have a "share day" or "share time" where children can bring an item from home and tell the class why it is special to them. The other children are encouraged to ask questions about the item. The activity builds oral language and listening skills, but it's also a lot of fun for young children to show others the things they care about.

You can try "Friday Share Day" at home by asking your child to pick something special to tell you about. Have each family member ask a question, or two, about the item and why your child picked it. Be ready for lots of smiles, kids say the funniest things.
