Need Show and Tell help!!!

[KarlaB]

Oldest ds has show and tell tomorrow for the letter E! For some reason we are struggling with this letter. :rolleyes: We have come up with egg (plastic), envelope, earring, Elmo, E.T., elephant, and eye (toy bouncy ball! LOL!). I think that's it. Anyway, none of these excite him and usually the thing he shares is something he actually looks forward to bringing. I like for him to look around the house and find things that start with the letter, but this week we are all having a hard time! :\

Anyone have anymore E words?? :D

how about a picture of EVERYBODY in the family together. or a stuffed Easter Bunny

I like the everybody idea. Does it matter whether it's short sound (egg) or long sound (Easter)? In my class we focus on short sounds because those will be in the first words we read.

elavator, escalator, Eskimo, eggplant, exercise.

Thanks gals!

kat - His teacher didn't specify, but I'm thinking short.

He came upstairs right before school and showed me what he wants to bring...his eyeball bouncy ball 8o and he has his clues all ready (they bring something, give 3 clues and the kids have to guess what it is).

the boy will feel so loved later when he realizes how many kids don't have the support they need in school.
I used to have to come up with my own ideas, let him make something. Be creative with him, sticker books, I know seem a little girly, making his own race track, tooth picks and aluminum foil. Or even a robot. I once built a sugar igloo when I ran out of Ideas, and all the other kids voted mine as the best. Teach you're self how to make a solar power box car, a miniture, solar pannels can get expensive, create a race track for it, and before you know it the teacher may actuall start giving points for originality and creaivity.
