School Projects

Well it is that time of year when it seems the kids are overloaded with school projects. It's also the time when our school district has some sort of declamation project. In Elementary School it was memorizing poems. In Middle School and Junior High it's writing and giving speeches.

Fifth grade speech (2-4 minutes long) is about an American Invention. Dalton chose Paintball. In addition to his speech he had to create a poster about his invention.

In seventh grade, speeches are about, "A person who has touched many lives". Madison chose Dr. Seuss. The speeches (3-5 minutes long) also need to be memorized.

Both speeches will be given during the coming week.

Madison also had to do a project for Pre-Algebra (nothing to do with Declamation) this weekend. She at least had a partner to share in this project. They had to make some type of game and figure out all the probability and statistics for it. Madison and friend chose "Ring Toss".

I think both kids did a great job on all their projects. Yes, I can honestly say I'm glad the weekend is over...except for the beautiful weather we had!!
