P.O.O.F!

   It's Friday, so students had the chance to reflect by completing a P.O.O.F (Positive Observations on Friday) page.

We shared our observations in class, and now students have been asked to share their page with someone at home.

Artastic!

Speechtastic!

It's time for another Speechtastic!

This time, students are preparing an Instructional Speech. They have chosen a demonstration (how to draw something, how to make something, how to do something...) and are planning a 2-5 minute speech to demonstrate the process to the audience. They should be sure to have an introduction, a middle (with the step-by-step process explained with clear details) and a conclusion.

Students may use visuals and/or props 

but have been encouraged to keep it simple!

Speechtastic Presentations are 

Thursday, December 3rd and Friday, December 4th

School Supplies!

 For upcoming art projects, students should be sure to have scissors, glue and markers or pencil crayons at school.
