At this point in the year the third graders have a strong foundation in creating keyword outlines from a text and in public speaking.
In April, students continued to develop their speaking skills by using a lectern and learning how to include gestures during their speech. Recently, they have learned how to write a composition from a keyword outline.
Students have made exceptional progress. They are speaking with more confidence and are excited about writing. Many students have expressed their love of writing to me, while others continuously ask to give more speeches! Some students choose to use part of their lunch time to research and write keyword outlines. It's been exciting to see their enthusiasm!
