First Grade Sharing

Our sharing program will begin soon! It is a great time for students to get practice with public speaking and gain confidence to speak in front of a group. Please practice each week with your child. Students should feel confident when presenting and practice will help. Memorization is not required. Most sharing topics require students to bring an item to show during his or her presentation, so please review directions thoroughly. Students should complete written presentations by rewriting the speech on the paper provided. They must use the exact wording from the weekly topic description. Drawings should be done independently by the student.

Good Speaker Tips:

Stand up straight.

Speak loudly, clearly, and expressively. 

Take breaks from looking at your paper to look at your audience.

Don’t put your paper in front of your face.

  Please note that we will not have sharing during short school weeks. 

Sharing Topics will be posted here and sent home

Students must write out their presentations by hand on the paper provided. They must use the wording from the weekly topic description and fill in the blanks to personalize it.

Note the visual aid which should accompany the sharing topic. Visual aids should be made on a full sheet of paper and done boldly - not just in pencil. Use color. The visual aid should be visible to the whole audience.
