As part of a College Public Speaking assignment, sophomore Noah Harens took on the challenge of delivering a demonstrative speech to an audience of at least three! 👏
A demonstrative speech is a type of informative presentation that teaches the audience how to do something or how something works. It involves a step-by-step process, often with visual aids or live demonstrations to make the topic clear and easy to follow.
Way to go, Noah, on building confidence and communication skills! 💪🎙️ #PublicSpeaking
A special thanks to your classmates that volunteered to be your audience!
In the classroom, collaboration is key! Our 3rd graders are engaging with multiplication of teen numbers through pair/share discussions, using base ten blocks for hands-on learning, and decomposing numbers for better understanding. This approach not only enhances mathematical skills but also fosters teamwork and communication.
Spring Break is right around the corner! If you’re 14 ½ or older, you can take the
required course to qualify for your permit. Through our school’s online program,
you will learn all of the basics of driving with the convenience of an online class.
Not only that but enrolling through our program directly supports your school!
A huge thank you to Kris Schell & Sara Hergenreter, School-Based Mental Health Specialists with the Prevention Department at Centennial Mental Health, for providing an engaging and informative presentation for our Life Skills students today!
Their session not only enhanced mental health awareness but also introduced universal prevention strategies and valuable resources to support student well-being. We appreciate their dedication to fostering a positive and proactive approach to mental health in our school community!
