Noah...a second grader...had to do an ORAL REPORT. I wasn't overly excited about this. These kids are only 7 & 8 years old! Which means, the parents get to help...a lot. They had to do their report on a country, and when we went in for SEP's we chose which one. I chose England because Colby's mom was born there, and I knew we could get a lot of information from her. Which would be different than the internet, or the library.
We sat down one night and wrote down questions to ask her, then called her on the phone and 'interviewed' her. It was fun to watch Noah's face after he would ask her a question, hearing her answer. He couldn't believe some of the things she told him.
They had to have a visual aid, and we were able to use grandma Janet. [So glad we didn't have to make a poster]
Noah read his report to the class then Janet got to show and tell some things. The kids were really good, and acted like they were listening really well.
[I only got one picture...as soon as I took this, the whole class looked at me]
As part of the report, they had to tell how that country celebrates Christmas. We always have an English dinner and play English games on Christmas night at the Labrum's so we thought it would be fun for the kids to do the same.
We got some bon bons, and had them get into a circle and pull.
I think they had a good time learning about England.
They loved the prizes they got in their bon bons.
