puff the magic dragon

Learning to speak in front of other people at an early age has advantages in building confidence as children mature. It is particularly important in developing communication skills that are vital for many jobs as well as social situations. An elementary school teacher helps by providing activities that work toward this desired outcome

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, 
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff, 
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh 

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, 
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. 

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail 
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail, 
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came, 
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh! 

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, 
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. 

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys 
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys. 
One grey night it happened, Jackie paper came no more 
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar. 

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain, 
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane. 
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave, 
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh! 

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, 
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

speaking tips

Sweaty palms, red face, fidgeting feet and lots of "um-ing" are all signs of the distress most elementary students feel when they are asked to give a speech. You can teach your child the art of public speaking by helping him to construct a thoughtful, well-organized speech and by affording him the opportunity to practice, practice, practice before the formal event.

Step 1

Brainstorm topic ideas. You will feel more confident making a speech if you are passionate about, or at least familiar with, the subject matter. Topics might include a favorite hobby, memories of a family vacation or a persuasive speech on why your child thinks he needs a bigger allowance.

Step 2

Create a preliminary outline. write down everything you knows about your chosen topic. For instance, you might write down instructional details or tips and personal feelings about your favorite hobby.

Step 3

Research online or at the local library. Fill in what you knows with facts. For instance, if you are giving a speech about soccer, you might research the history of the sport. If you are describing a family vacation, you might look for information about the geography and culture of the vacation site.

Step 4

organize the material into an introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction should be short, but catchy. Include a joke or anecdote to catch the audience's attention. The body of the speech should include two to five main points accompanied by supporting facts. 

Step 5

write short notes on cards to help him if he gets lost during his speech. Don't write the entire speech on cards, though, or you will be tempted to read and avoid eye contact.

Step 6

Assemble an audience of friends and family so that you can practice his speech in a non-threatening environment. speak slowly and engage his audience with eye contact. 

Step 7

Address your  concerns before  gives speech to a formal audience.  that it is okay to feel nervous or scared. you doesn't have to give the speech perfectly. relax and simply tell the story.

• Record practice sessions so that you can watch himself speak. It may be easier for yiu to correct mistakes if you catches them yourself.

Spelling -ED Ending Rules

The following is a guide to the correct spelling of words ending -ED.

Remember: Not all words that end in -ED are verbs in the past tense. Sometimes they are Past Participlesor they could even be Adjectives ending in -ED. For now we will mostly use verbs in the Past Tense as examples though the same rules apply to all words ending in -ED

The general rule when changing a word (or verb) into its -ED form is just to add -ED to the end of it.
