French Presentations

I have been so impressed with your French presentations over the past few weeks.  We have seen everything from Science experiments, to magic tricks, to sports, to historical events, etc.  We have even been able to answer some of the questions about biodiversity that we had through your presentations!

After each presentation, we take the time to do some peer feedback as we look for the positives (shine on!), and room for improvement (green to grow).  This helps each student create goals for their future presentations.  Before the next presentation begins, the students are reminded of these goals.  So far, I must say I was wowed by how you have applied the feedback (some have slowed down their speaking, others have made more eye contact, etc.). Keep up the super work!

As a class, we decided that a presentation every two weeks was excessive, so we have changed the presentation to every month instead.  Quality over quantity :)  Everyone has been assigned a week (this week is week 3). To see the schedule, look at the French Presentation schedule tab.

It is so great that you are working independently at home on a topic of your choice, I am learning so many new things!  I just can't wait to see the next round of presentations!

PS  Here are my awesomes

Monday's awesome
Finishing a load of laundry

Laundry.  My arch nemesis.  We have not, nor will we ever be friends.  It is a job that is both thankless and never, ever, ever complete.  Yet, I cannot ignore the feeling of self-satisfaction that arises when I finish a load and put it away.  I may grumble, but in the end, there truly is nothing better than putting on some warm PJs or smelling those fresh towels.  Awesome!

Tuesday's awesome
Finding something you were missing

Debit card, thou debit card, wherefore art thou debit card?  How is it possible that one small card can cause such a commotion when it goes missing?  No matter, as the missing item has been located (thanks to the best husband ever!).  What once was lost, now is found?  Awesome!      

Today's awesome
Laughing so hard you get tears in your eyes

So maybe you cracked a joke that only you think was funny.  Who cares?  At least you appreciate your own sense of humour!  Awesome!
