Unfortunately, my daughter was sick for the other group presentations, but the day I went, the group that went after me had an amazing activity. I really enjoyed the way they had us get involved in a mystery by putting the pieces together to make up a song. All the students seemed to like this, although some were puzzled. Overall, everyone did great on their presentations. I know ours was a lot of work. First we did a movie of the book, but that didn't turn out right, then we took pictures and I had the lovely task of timing everything in the powerpoint. Yes I whined the entire time, but the end product was great! Thank the Lord I only had to do one powerpoint. Thanks to Kim and Karen, our presentation was incredible. Thanks Jenn for letting the group utilize your camera! Yeah! We did great!
