Thank you all for your wonderful input regarding what to do with the
Kindergarteners! You have given me some ideas that I need to adapt to my
style...it is just what I needed! (If there is any more input out there,
please do respond!)
Best,
Laurie

Laurie,
Sounds like a 'show & tell' opportunity. (When in Rome....) Then again,
maybe I'm dating myself given what kindergarten is like these days. On a
less glib note, I'd keep it simple. Do something that reveals why you love
what you do. What might you do that will tap into the kids' sense of
wonderment and discovery? Of solving mysteries? Of finding meaning in
things? It's still there despite whatever fears we might have of
computer/video/media imagination-drain. Give them a word or skill they might
add to their bag of tricks. Let your passion shine through, no matter what
you end up doing. And, ask them plenty of questions, too.
Good luck and have fun!
Dean

How does your organization describe itself? Here's one of my favorites:
WTMD is listener-supported radio from the campus of Towson University.
We believe that music can change the world.

Hello Colleagues,
I have been invited to come to speak (present?) to 60 kindergarteners about
what museums do. (!!) I am a curator at a small history museum and have
done presentations and Museums-In-A-Box / Discovery trunks for school
children before, but not for this young an age group. The teacher who wants
me to come is so excited...so I am asking for your input, suggestions and
help for what type of presentations you have done and what types of things
you brought with you that would work for this little age group. Please
advise and thank you!
Best,
Laurie
