Q2: How do you incorporate show and tell into your curriculum? #elmused

MrsLevenberg Mar 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: It's really on a case-by-case basis if a child plays or sings something that happens to connect to what we're doing in class. #elmused

kimbalee219 Mar 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: The students let me know a class period in advance and they can perform their song at the end of class next time. #elmused

audreymelugin Mar 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: not structured yet; about 1x grading pd Ss can play piano lesson songs, bring something musical to share, usu on reward rays #elmused

MrsLevenberg Mar 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

I love that! It gives them something to practice and look forward to! #elmused

A2: I use students as "experts" when they have knowledge of certain areas.The class and I ask them questions.Low stress & informal. #elmused

A2: i prefer what is shared fits in the topic, but I love having Ss show off what they do out of class with their peers anytime! #elmused
