Biography Day

The time working on our Biography Boards at school is done!  Any boards that are not done are going home today--to be returned Monday.   I am very proud of the kids as they completed all the work on their own at school. I offered tips and modeled how to mat and arrange things on the boards, but they did the work all by themselves! The best part was watching the early finishers jump in and help those who were struggling. Our projects are truly a show of team work. This is true 21st century collaboration and learning. LOVE it!

Speeches have been written and students are practicing them with a partner daily. I taught them the elements of a good speech and public speaking tips. 


Biography Day is on Friday, May 18th. Students should come dressed as their character, and ready to give their speeches. Since we have PE first thing in the morning that day, we will begin setting up the boards at 9:05. If parents want to take a peek, they may do so between 9:05-9:20. After that time the Nelda Mundy students will be coming in to visit and it will be too crowded with parents in there.
