Gifted & Talented Academy
September 2018
The 2018-19 school year is proving to be the best yet!
Thank you for the opportunity to learn with your child.
Fifth Grade
In social studies, fifth graders are learning about the world and United States by using map tools, such as scale, map coordinates, and physical landforms to analyze and draw conclusions.
Storytelling is embedded in our culture and our fifth graders are in the process of creating documentaries that tell their story. This unit is rich with vocabulary and understanding what the film making process entails. Mrs. Daugherty's class is also putting storytelling skills to use through their Stickbot movies. We can't wait to share student videos!
Fifth graders planted Mammoth Sunflowers last Spring and enjoyed their
seeds this fall. They were whoppers!
Fourth Grade
Fourth graders have been investigating physical properties in Science. They made how to videos for proper use of triple beam balances and measuring volume.
The Body System unit has begun. Our fourth graders determined the correct arrangement of organs within the human torso. It was enlightening!
Upcoming Dates
Third Grade
In science, third graders are investigating physical properties of matter. They loved predicting and testing materials for magnetism, density, physical state and mass. Did you know that changing state is what makes a fluffy treat we all love? Yum...
Determining the order of importance for the U.S. monuments
and landmarks resulted in great discussion!
Tour of Terrell
Our Third graders enjoyed a tour of Terrell with Mrs. Stokes and Ms. Hickman. Students learned facts about Terrell, its founding, and important historical landmarks to expand their knowledge during their study of communities
Second Grade
In math, Ms. Bailey's students had a blast comparing numbers, creating their own word problems, and writing numbers in standard, expanded, and written form.
First Grade
First graders took our school thank you cards to American National Bank. Thank you, officer Calendar and Officer Meyers for escorting us.
It was quite an experience!
First graders have enjoyed reviewing nouns through Fluency and Fitness and IXL.
They have lots of energy and are eager to learn.
Thank You...
We would like to thank American National Bank for adopting our classrooms for the 2018-19 school year. We sincerely appreciate your generosity!
