Next week, we will be starting “Me Shoeboxes”!! This is a great opportunity to practice oral sharing, using clues, and active listening. Next week, please send a shoebox (or similar sized box or container) that is filled with items that represent you!
We will be using these boxes for two purposes:
1. To inspect and make guesses on the owner based on the items inside. Just for fun,we will share the shoeboxes anonymously and then try to guess whose is
whose.
2. To use the items for classroom oral sharing (more information about this will come mid- October).
Please plan to keep these items at school for a couple months as we will display the boxes on our shelves until we complete all of our oral sharing.
Send the following items in a box to school by October 3:
- Something that represents your favourite hobby or activity to do in your spare time.
- Something that represents what you might want to be when you grow up.
- A picture of your family (for the first part of this activity, we will put a post it note over your face so that we can guess!)
- Something that represents a place you have been or would like to go in the world
Please DO NOT send anything expensive or precious to you.
If you do not have an item that represents these things in your house, please feel free to send a photo, make or draw something.Reminders:
