This Week in Gifted
Level II News
Ms. Jones' fourth graders are hard at work learning to identify literary devices and use them in their work. Ask your child all about "Big Benny Borovitch." Fifth graders are learning topology as well as coding and spies, and third grade students are comparing eras of musical history.
Ms. David-Massett's fourth and fifth graders are using a new critical thinking strategy called SCAMPER, which encourages students to think in a flexible way. Fourth graders will soon be strategizing new inventions. Both groups will also be expressing their strengths and weaknesses through an activity called UNIQUELY ME! By January 18th please send in a photograph of your child that does not need to be returned.
