Gifted Gazette
Maplebrook Elementary ~ October
Happy Fall Y'all!
It has been so great to meet with the kiddos, face to face and virtually. I have enjoyed our time together and I have no doubt we are going to have a fantastic year this year!
Groups have been created in both Seesaw (1st & 2nd grade) and Google Classroom (3-5), and activities will be added each week. In the event your students is absent from class or zoom, all materials will be added to their platform. I also will be posting various challenging activities that they are welcome to do. These are not required but I hope they choose one or two to complete to get their brain thinking!
Those whose kiddos are new to the program, each year GT students complete a project. We have not begun to talk about the project yet, but once we do and they have work to do for the project, I will let you know.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support.
We're a team!
Thanks,
Mrs. Cannon
