We’ve had so many cute moments during Show and Tell Letter M week! My kids have shared marbles, monkeys, magnets, and even a little mailbox craft they made themselves. “M” is such a playful letter—you’ll be surprised how many fun things you already have at home. I always start by asking what comes to their mind first, then we go from there!

FAQs
What if I’m too shy to present in front of the class?
It’s okay to feel nervous about presenting. Try practicing your presentation a few times beforehand – it’ll boost your confidence.
How long should my show and tell presentation be?
Most teachers recommend keeping show and tell presentations brief – around 2-3 minutes is typical.
Can I bring a live animal for show and tell?
Check with your teacher first. Some may allow small, contained pets like fish or hamsters!
What if someone else brings the same item as me?
Don’t stress. It happens sometimes. You can mention the fun coincidence and then focus on what makes your item unique or what special memories you have with it!
Is it okay to bring a valuable or fragile item?
It’s best to avoid bringing anything too valuable or delicate that could get damaged or lost. Stick to sturdy, easy-to-handle items you won’t mind passing around the class.
