At Connor and Fiona's schools, Dexter and Southfield, public speaking is a regular part of the curriculum beginning in kindergarten. Events are attended by several other grades, as well as parents and other family members.
Fiona had her annual public speaking on February 28. She was all ready to go, looking very public speaking worthy.
Her class talked about the moon. There was a program made specifically for their presentation that included a bibliography on the back page.
Fiona did a spectacular job. She delivered her lines very clearly, made excellent eye contact and hit the points for her positions on speaking.
Connor had his public speaking the following day. As luck would have it, that was Leap Day. So that was the topic of their talk. He looked very good in his school clothes despite having to deal with his sling.
The art teacher created a impressive collage for the event (Fiona's speech also had a collage -- of Goodnight Moon; Connor had a program, also, I just didn't care for the art).
Connor spoke very clearly and delivered his lines with perfection. We were all very pleased.
I am so excited for them to have the opportunity to develop strong public speaking skills that will serve them for a lifetime. Good job, guys!
