SHOW • GO • GROW School Assemblies: A Simple Way to Raise Creative, Curious, Lifelong Learners
By Lisa Caprelli, children’s author with academic social psychology background
When I step onto a school stage, I bring more than books and puppets. I bring three little verbs that changed my life: SHOW, GO, GROW. They’re easy to remember, fun to practice, and powerful enough to turn a shy child into a confident creator — because that shy child was me.
SHOW: Let the World See the Real You
Most kids know how to hide their gifts. Fewer know how to show them. “SHOW” invites children to be seen: to share a drawing, read a poem aloud, or simply share, “I love drawing!”
Show can be defined in very unique ways.
oin My Mission—No Suitcase Required
My goal is to help every child:
-
SHOW the world who you are creatively
-
GO beyond the norms with child-like curiosity
-
GROW a habit of lifelong learning and lift others up
