FAQs
What if I can’t find anything starting with B?

Live animals are usually not allowed due to potential disruptions or allergies. Check with your teacher first before bringing a pet.
What if I get nervous or forget what to say?
If you get nervous, take a deep breath and remind yourself this is just a casual sharing activity. Having notes or props can help jog your memory too.
Can I bring snacks or treats for the class?
Snacks or treats are typically not allowed during class time. However, your teacher may allow something small and mess-free to share at the end if you ask ahead of time.
