February 2nd
Today we got to practice our speeches out loud with partners. A sheet is being sent home for parents to sign 4 times before Friday. Please listen to your child give their speech 4 times throuhout this week. If you can have different adults listen to it, that would be great. I told them if they have a sibling in high school or above they can have them listen to it as well. Please give them constructive comments to help them make their speeches better. It should be around 3minutes and 30 seconds so if they talk fast during their actual speech they still get 3 minutes. I will be sending home the times they are giving their speeches on Thursday.
Homework:
Math: Studylink 5.7-students may use a calculator to find the decimal answers.
ILA: Practice speech 4 times this week and get sheet signed 4 times by Friday.
Other: Report cards signed (Luke, Alex S., Nate, & Abby P.)
Bring in 12 pack soda boxes so we can decorate them next week for Valentine's Day
