This Thursday the students will be presenting their oral reports, along with turning in the final drafts of their written book reports. I have given them a rubric for their oral report. You can also find a copy here: http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/lesson_images/lesson416/OralRubric.pdf Please have your child practice at home. Public speaking is an important tool for their academic and later professional success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgLu1dTCpBU. They need to address the main points that were in the paper.
Today we started working on a class book that will be published and available for purchase! WOW! On Thursday, during parent's day, I will hand out the information on how you can purchase one of these awesome books.
Our Bible verses for this week are:
1st-3rd graders -
"Remember that I commanded you to be strong and brave. So don't be afraid. The Lord your God will be with you everywhere you go." Joshua 1:9
5th-7th graders - "God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 4:10-11
Our quote this week is from Nobel Peace Prize winner and concentration camp survivor, Elie Wiesel, "When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude."
