The 19th week!

Soooo...this week we will be presenting a humorous interpretation. MEMORIZE some jokes or a funny story, poem...ect...something to delight your audience. Nothing that will offend. Use facial expressions and gestures, props are good too.

 

Also, our class chose to dress up like a character from a favorite book. I love this one, except I don't have too many 19th century outfits.

 

Also, don't forget, those who bring in maps they have drawn this past week can get some special treats from the St. Phillips. Thank you Mrs. Michelle for those incentives.

 

We are winding down the CC year, and I am already sad because I know I will miss this class so much. You guys are special.

Re: WEEK 18. WHOO HOO!!

Thanks Shannon!

 

Jane just reminded me about the geography maps the class talk about doing last week.  Students decided to do some motivating in geography:)   Tell your students to bring their maps they drew this past week and they will get a treat.

 

Blessings,

Michelle

WEEK 17.

I cannot believe it is already week 17! Crazy! 

So, for this week coming, the students will be doing a biographical  speech on a famous Renaissance artist. Half the class will be going this round. Mia, Jane, Ethan and Gabriel. If I missed someone, please let me know. I look forward to hearing these great speeches. Remember, we have time, use pictures or have a demonstration....whatever you can do to make it interesting for the audience. 

Also, don't forget to dress up like the people from different countries next week. We are having so much fun with this. I love my class!!! 

See you soon.

P.S....we miss you Isabelle!!!!! Hope all is well at the Yarborough house. 

Week 16.

Middle of the six weeks is here. Hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there. I am proud of my class. While they were giving their presentations on famous scientists and inventors...I could not help but think that I was looking a six pretty amazing kids and how God was going to raise them up to do incredible things for His glory. How exciting!!

Presentation for next week: Bible recitations: 2-5 min. Memorize a passage from the Bible that is meaningful to you. Use props and pictures to enhance. Focus on volume. Appropriate volume for the audience and the space you are speaking in. Clear and loud enough to be heard by all, but not screaming. 

Love all my moms who assist me in class!!! You are awesome. Miss you Christine!

Week 15!!!

Can you guys believe it is already week 15??? What have been your favorite things to learn along side your kids??? I am learning so much through homeschooling. I do get pretty excited about the art. Bless Rebekah for letting me teach the art and she the science. 

Sooo...this week, don't forget the expository speech (exposing the truth) about a famous scientist or inventor. The students need to talk a little about the life of the person and their contribution to the world. Pictures or examples are always nice to have. The focus will be on eye contact. Teach your students how to look others in the eye. It is such a lost practice with youth. 

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you all as parents or friends. Thank you for all your support in class and out.

Final Week of the semester!!!!

Hello my friends,

I cannot believe these six weeks have flown by so quickly! I know we could all use a little break...my plan is to not fit too much into my days and just do things with my kids that we enjoy....painting, playing hide and seek, taking walks, baking pies and cookies, visiting friends and family we never get to see, going to that retirement home and visiting with people that could use some company....and just breathing and taking in all of God's goodness. That is how I want to spend my off days....how about you? 

I know the weekend after we get out of CC...I plan to take my kids across the lake for the weekend and visit all the places mommy grew up...in Harahan and parts of New Orleans...we will visit the zoo, airline skate center, and the old Harahan bowling alley. Also, I covet your prayers for my Haiti trip. I will be leaving Dec. 5-10th. I can't wait to see what God is going to do there. 

What will you guys be doing? Just curious. 

Back to work:   Our final presentation will be a narration of an Aesop Fable. Don't read off a page the entire time. Know the story. Act it out if you want. Bring pics or props. You guys are getting better and better at this. I love watching you grow. Watch the distracting behavior when you are speaking. 

PROJECT your voices...articulate!  Can't wait to see you all again. Have a wonderful rest of your week. 

Shannon C.
