So, today in class we had a little activity. Our teachers told us yesterday to bring in items from our past or our present that mean something special to us. It may sound silly but seeing everyones items and what they meant to them, really gave me a different perspective on such a simple thing as show and tell. I brought in a deck of cards. Its not the cards themselves that were specifically special to me, but more of the connotations and memories that these cards remind me of. One example is while my Gigi was living with us the last few months before she passed, we used to play cards literally every day. She loved them, and i loved seeing how happy they made her, it was a great way to have fun and get that time with her. Everyone in class today had heart warming stories much like mine and it made us see a different side of our classmates, people who we have been with all year. It was a really great way to really learn more in depth who the people around you really are. So next time your friends little sister or brother or even your kid or niece/nephew tell you about their show and tell, before you just laugh, think about it, maybe we could all use one now and the.
