ELA - Mrs. Swisher
This week, we have finished up our speech preparations, and my students are ready to give their TED Talk speeches next week! They have worked very diligently on their research, and I can’t wait to hear their expertise on their chosen Seven Wonder.
Next week, we will spend most of the week giving speeches, and providing feedback to one another in regards to their speech.
Please remember to encourage your child to read for at least 15 minutes every night!! Thank you!!
