Presentation Theme and Focus Week 12

Hey Moms,

  Ka'Saundra just let me know that I sent out the wrong theme for presentations this week...I was looking at the schedule for last year's presentations!

  This week's Presentations theme is: My favorite stuffed animal! Bring your favorite stuffed animal to class and be ready to tell us all about it! If your child doesn't like stuffed animals, please feel free to allow him/her to bring a toy, blanket, etc., it just needs to be something that is special to your child. Also, the focus this week is on avoiding distracting behaviors. Please encourage your child to stand up straight, look at the audience, and keep their hands still during presentation.

  Sorry for the mix-up! Have a great week.

Little Extras for the week

Hi Guys,

I hope you enjoyed your first day back at CC! I know I told you in class, however, I wanted to let you know again that you did an excellent job listening during Tin Wistle. Keep up the good work and we will be playing a song before you know it! Moms, remember to let them practice the Tin Whistle at home, focusing on naming the parts of the tin whistle (barrel, finger holes, mouth piece, fipple,) as well as the meaning of harmony and discord. And for the fun part, practice, practice, practice that D scale. Okay, so I love music and I think it is great that your child can be exposed to it. All of what we are learning in this music section will be of great benefit for later use with any other instrument. 

Below is link to a Tin Whistle performance. It's only a couple minutes long and I thought the children may enjoy seeing the Tin Whistle being played at its fullest capacity. Expose them to some music while reviewing the parts of the Tin Whistle!

Below you will also find a link to a Magic School Bus episode on the Stars, a fun way to learn a little more about our science this week. 

And last but not least, there is a link to a short video on the Protestant Reformation. This probably isn't something the Children will enjoy seeing, but it is a quick overview of the basics of the Protestant Reformation that may help you explain it to your children, if you are interested.

We have another great presentation this coming week. Show us how to do something, Bring your favorite activity etc. and show us how to do it. We are working on gestures, using body movements to enhance your presentation. This presentation is usually only done by half the class. This week it would be Rhett, Annalise, Brooke and Eli. So, for those four come prepared. The other half of the class will present the following week

Well, that is all for now! Have a great week!

Week 6 Presentations

Hi Everyone,

We have a fun presentation this week! Show and Tell SURPRISE! Bring your object in a bag. Describe it to the class and see if they can guess what you brought.

We are working on poise this week. Being able to stand confidently before your audience even when something goes wrong.

I hope you have a great week studying at home. Remember the blog page. If you find something interesting online or have a tip for us moms please share. We are a community with the same goal and each persons' input is invaluable!
