Murray's Gifted Gab
June 2019
A Note from Mrs. Shook
Summer can be a wonderful time for gifted kids to explore all of the things that they love, but don't always have time to do. Encourage your child to read some of the classics or read from the Battle of the Books list. Encourage him/her to try coding on a site like Scratch. Or choose from one of the many camps offered in our area.
6th and 7th grade families, I look forward to seeing you again in the fall. If you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Shook
8th Grade Students - High School Information
Also, I can't encourage you enough to reach out to Jennifer Crudeli, the high school gifted specialist. She can help you advocate and make decisions about courses throughout high school.
