Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
I came across this article in the New York Times and thought I would share it with you because emotional intelligence is often an aspect of life that is a rather large struggle for the gifted, whether child or adult. We have discussions around all of the topics in this article frequently in the GT classroom. I hope you find it informative and helpful.
Asynchronous development...when a student is academically advanced, but maturity and social-emotional awareness lag behind and are not in sync with the academic ability among the gifted. This is very common! Here is an article I found to share with you in hopes of providing you with information and support:
Third and Fourth Grade Plays are coming up!
The two third grade groups will present their plays on Wednesday, March 25. Mrs. Mitchell/Sra Garcia's GT students will perform at 8:15 in the Media Center and Mrs. Wright/Allison/Parrish's GT students will present at 1:30 in the Media Center. These plays will also be filmed so if you are unable to attend, please don't fret. You will be sent the video link.
Competitions
The final WordMasters Challenge will be in April, after Spring Break.
Science Bowl is a fifth grade RHSD competition and three fifth graders are selected for the team. This year, Rolando Ramirez, McCoy Questelle, and Riley Elston will represent CPES at the district compeition on April 1.
All three of these competitive teams will continue next school year, so if your child did not get to participate this year, please be on the lookout for info for next year.
