Today the 3^rd and 4^th graders competed in the English Speech Contest. The students were divided into groups via raffle. Each grade had two stories to choose from. The 3^rd graders performed ‘Peggy Makes Soup’ and ‘Too Much Pink’, and the 4^th graders performed ‘The Loveliest Stink’ and ‘With Blue’. Each student was judged on five criteria: big voice, eye contact, speed, pronunciation, and originality. Everyone practiced very hard and did very well. It was difficult to pick the winning participants. However, we are looking forward to everyone trying and performing again next year! Good job everyone, and thank you for participating!
