Presentation Co-op: United States
Fall 2007
January 16th, 2008
The theme is “These United States”. For those of you who are unfamiliar with these co-ops, they are a great opportunity for the kids to practice public speaking. Once a week, usually on Mondays, I’ll send out an assignment relating to the theme for your child to complete on his/her own at home. It’s a very open-ended assignment with plenty of room for your child to use his/her imagination. Once all of the assignments have been given, we’ll all get together so the children can present their assignment to us. Parents have enjoyed these presentations, and the kids have fun showing what they’ve learned. The youngest participant was four years old, I think. It’s open to all ages. And there’s always food involved at the presentations. 
I hope you’ll join us! The presentations will be on Friday, October 26th at 6:30pm at an area library. The exact location hasn’t been determined yet, but it’ll likely be Venice or Jacaranda.
