Once again I was very impressed with how well the students listened to their classmates and were quiet for the presentations. There was one point during the transition between presentations on Thursday when the students got a little loud, but all the teacher had to do was say, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” By “2” all of the students were quiet.
Both of my buddies presented on Tuesday. Heather went first and she did struggle a little bit with her presentation in using a loud enough voice and looking up at the audience from time to time. But I know that she was really nervous about this. She had been talking about how she didn’t like to present in front of people for the past few weeks. We can work on that, though. But I still thought she did a great job! My other buddy also presented on Tuesday. JJ really did not seem to have a problem speaking up and looking at the audience but he really didn’t look like he was having much fun. The principal called him out about not smiling during his presentation. I didn’t anticipate that JJ wouldn’t smile during the presentation, (he only informed me that he didn’t smile for pictures.) We’ll have to work on that for next time. But I also thought that JJ did a great job on his presentation!
