Practicing our presentations

We are spening time in class practicing our presentations.  The students are finding this useful as they are practicing speaking as the person they have learned all about for the last few months.  They are also experiencing what it is like to speak with butterflies, where they need to work on adding more details, answering unknown questions, listening respectfully and feeling confident.

We are MOTIVATED

This week, the student's are finishing up their President reports and diving right into The Biography Project!


Julian and Caroline completed their report on Ulysses S. Grant.  They were excited to find his face on dollar bills, which we are studying in math.


Above the students are working on marking important parts in their chosen biography book.  If you are able to access this link, you will see two students sharing aloud the important parts they marked.
