Milestone 3 Example & How to Input Pictures into PowerPoint

Here is a sample of what Milestone #3 can look like. This example will be used during the exhibition demonstration on Thursday at 9:00. I hope to see you there!

Please pay close attention to the following when assisting your child with any visual aid.


1. Notice that there are NOT A LOT OF WORDS on the slides. 
***Remember that a visual aid should NOT contain words other than labels or titles, that was Milestone 2. Milestone 3 is visual. It is expected that your child memorize the information that they are presenting, to demonstrate the knowledge that they have gained.


2. There are pictures showing the step-by-step directions. 


3. The few words (which should be titles or labels) have not been copied and/or pasted from any website or book. Everything is in my own words.

4. As an added bonus, when copying someone else's picture from the web, the website was cited underneath the picture (for most). That way no one will be stealing or plagiarizing anyone else's work.

A Big Shout Out Goes To...

Maranda and Jordan L. who both completed and passed their Milestone 2! Hooray!!!

I am also very impressed with Kamayah, Davon, and Asia, who have attempted to turn in their Milestones, but just a few corrections are needed! Keep up the hard work.


Parents, I am strongly encouraging all students to submit their Milestone 2 EARLY. Every student who has submitted their Milestone 2 thus far, has had to make some type of correction to it, even the two who have passed! And I would love for all of my students to participate in Fun Friday!


So, please assist your child in completing their Milestone 2 early, and if there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
