daily occurrence for the students, and a part of their classroom routine. The warm up for today will be for
students to practice and prepare to present.

their classmate is conveying. Students and parents may welcome themselves to donuts and juice.

Reflections
Students may take longer on presenting than estimated. I will ensure that all students keep to a strict time
limit with a timer. This may upset some parents, but a time limit is in fairness to all students. The ultimate
goal of this lesson is to make students comfortable with presenting, and create a classroom community.
