4th Grade Students Present Biographies
Public speaking is just one of the many important skills that students learn at Saint James School. For this month’s book report, 4th grade students read a biography and presented information on their famous person (gathered from reading the book and online research) to the class. Dressing as the subject of their report was optional. Here are many of our 4th grade students who chose to dress in costume for their presentation and others showing their poster reports (click pictures to enlarge).
