Discovery Box

I really like how my Kindergarten teacher introduces new materials. She has a "discovery box" (small cardboard box with a lid) that she places something in (like a pencil, scissors, glue stick, etc.) and lets the kids guess what is in it. They have to listen as she shakes it and moves it around. She gives them clues if they need it. When they find out what is in the box, she discusses how to properly use that material. I think this really helps children, especially Kindergarteners, learn what is appropriate when using new materials. Even if they have used the material before, this provides an opportunity for the teacher to discuss how he or she wants it to be used in his or her classroom.
