This year's GT Showcase
I.D.E.A Showcase 2022-Update
We are recording podcasts now!!! Students are using Anchor, which is available on all devices, and allows students to edit and share their finalized podcasts with me.
After all of the podcasts have been edited and shared with me, students will vote on the top 5 podcasts. We're hoping to invite the parents of the top 5 winners to a luncheon to eat and sample the winning podcasts before the end of the school year.
Resources for the Passion Podcast will be shared out using the WMS GT Student Schoology course.

Differentiation-one of the strategies we use here at Wallace MS
Use this link to see an example of what that might look like in a classroom for a GT student.
District Commitment to GT students
Hays CISD is committed to recognizing the special needs and talents of the individual student. HCISD provides appropriate educational services for identified gifted and talented students as part of its overall K-12 program.
Gifted and Talented children learn differently than their peers. To ensure all students are learning on their individual levels, the GT teachers at WMS use many different strategies to ensure we are challenging each GT student and providing opportunities in all classes to go more in depth on the things that interest them most.
This newsletter will highlight the I.D.E.A. Showcase that WMS GT students will be participating in and include some resources for you, the parents to use to help support your child's interests.
