Orcas

Being in the 5th Grade entails giving a lot of oral reports.

Last week Julia completed her animal report with the study of Orca Whales.

She was thorough, dedicated and stayed on task until every last detail was planned and prepared.

Julia had complete command over her audience and made sure she had prepared an "attention getter" for her introduction, as well as a visual activity to help her fellow classmates really grasp how large orcas are.

She measured out 32 feet of twine to illustrate how long orca males can grow and had the class spread out on the playground with the twine in hand. She concluded her oral report with a quiz and Swedish fish for her audience. It was so fun to see her in action!

Last but not least, we got to see her completed self-portrait in the hall way.

Great job J.J.!
