DESCRIPTION: |
This afternoon gathering will be a forum for kids who are following a classical curriculum, such as--but not limited to--the one laid out in The Well-Trained Mind. Children are invited to share any of their ongoing work; for example, a child may recite a poem, share a book report and illustration, or share something interesting about a history subject. The church where we meet has allowed us to use their piano; any children wanting to share a piano piece are welcome to do so. Children studying other instruments are also welcome to play.
PRESENTATION GUIDELINES:
Some forums are extremely well attended, with enthusiastic presentations from lots of children. We therefore face time constraints. So we suggest tailoring your child's presentation to run no longer than the following:
Children Pre-K-K: 2 minutes
Children Grades 1-6: 6 minutes
Children Grades 7-12: 12 minutes
Each Forum will include one presentation that is 15 minutes in length. A presentation with this duration must be reserved in advance. Children of any age are eligible for such a time slot, but only once per child per school year, please. To reserve such a slot for your child, please contact Diane Speed: dspeed@salientcomm.com
The Classical Kids homeschool group welcomes all homeschoolers regardless of race, creed, or religion.
For tips and suggestions of how to best prepare your child for a presentation at the Kids Forum, see document: Preparing Your Child for the Kids Forum, in the CK Publications area of the libray. The link is listed below.
