In-class Speech Competition

The in-class competition was held all day with the Grade 4 classes! Everyone did a wonderful job and should be very proud of themselves! Being able to write, memorize, and recite their speech in front of an audience is a huge accomplishment. Everyone got a Hershey kiss chocolate as a nice treat at the end of the day. 

Congratulations to Vanshi and Joshua for being the top 2 presenters in our class!!

Today was the last day for students to practice their speech for the in-class competition tomorrow. Students could practice in a groups of 4 or alone. Work on the speeches tonight!

Learning goal: Students will learn about the Middle Ages and the Feudal System

We read information regarding the Middle Ages and the Feudal System. They answered comprehension questions and played a M&M Feudal game to learn about how unfair it was back then and the thoughts that would be going through these people's minds at the time.
