Job Description

Students begin to wiggle with anticipation as the young presenter standing at the front of the class finishes describing their show and tell to the group. You ask the class, "I know you are all excited to take turns looking at the item that Yuta brought today. Before we start, can you remind me what kind of hands we use?" The class responds in chorus, "Gentle hands!" The wooden train is passed from student to student as they take a moment to inspect the toy. As it is returned to the owner, you ask the class, "Does anyone have any questions or comments?" Eager hands immediately shoot up. Asking a student in the front row, they ask, "Where did you get it?" Curious heads nod in agreement. As the presenter answers questions from his classmates, you can see his confidence growing. When questions and answers are finished, you thank Yuta for bringing in something so important to share, thank the students for their questions and comments, and get ready for the next part of the day.
