Public Speaker's Club



Our Public Speaker's Club has started back up for the school year.  Abigail's first assignment was a demonstration speech.  She had originally written it as a demonstration of cords on her keyboard, however the hard brace prohibited doing much with her left hand.  She rewrote the speech to be a demonstration on the physics behind softball pitches.  

You can tell she's speaking about something she really enjoys because it seems to come natural to her!  I love that the kids have the opportunity to do this through our PEACH homeschool support group, because this is something that still makes me crazy nervous!  

After each youth present their speech they are then given criticism and encouragement by their peers. Generally Ms. Kathy guides them to offer more positives than negatives so no one becomes discouraged.  I love the comradery it brings between the participants! Here you go grandmothers and brother, ENJOY! 

When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?

Psalm 8:3-4
