Spirit, who is in first grade, gave his first oral presentation at school yesterday. The instructions were to pick a celebration of another country, preferably something not celebrated here in the states. He chose the country of Hungary and talked about their celebration of the first king, St. Stephens. They celebrate this every August 20 and it is called St. Stephens Day. There are fireworks over the Danube and airshows, parades, etc.
We looked on the internet and in library books for information. He picked out some pictures to copy/print.
Obviously, we helped him organize the poster but he traced the letters himself from some stencils I have. He glued everything himself and labeled the pictures himself. Then we helped him write his speech.He was so excited to do it and Mr. Man took off work to go watch him. Mr. Man said he was a little soft-spoken but he kept his head up and tried to make eye-contact with the class. Mr. Man said at the end of his speech, Spirit looked at his dad and said "I am SO going to Hungary next year!"

LOL! Did you ask him how he planned to pay for this trip to Hungary? :)
I'm glad his first speech went well!
