Things P J did well: I think P J did a good job overall. He seemed very organized and well prepared. He put a lot of thought into his presentation.

Things he might do differently: I think that he used some words that were a bit too advanced for the grade he was teaching: “variations and incorporate movements.” You have to remember the age of the kids. Many kids will not know what they mean. I think the song was a little too long; most kids that age do not have long attention spans.
