Preschool/ESL Socializing Skills: Show and Tell, Confidence in Speaking, and Asking Questions

In this on-going class, students will have the opportunity to practice social skills with their peers and teacher in a small-group setting.  Children will work on introducing themselves, taking turns, raising their hands, speaking in a small group, listening to others, and asking their peers questions. Children will be gently guided by practicing these skills each class in a fun way.  Children will bring a show and tell object from home that relates to the topic for that week.  Children should prepare 2-3 clues about what they brought to class, which they will share in class.  Students will then have the opportunity to ask each other questions about what they brought and discuss/share their items to the group. There will be time each class for children to ask questions and talk. The topics for each week are as follows:

*Next session-starting Jan. 5

*Please help monitor background noise during class so students can stay unmuted, be focused during our lessons, and have plenty of time to socialize with others! :) *
