McLeod Moments
Thoughts from the GT Classroom- August 2017
Welcome Back!
One exciting change this year, is that testing will take place NOW and we have made lots of efforts as a district to eliminate canceling GT classes. As of this moment, I will not need to cancel one single GT class in order to test the students testing for GT. Things could changes as this is new, but for now let's celebrate serving GT students ALL YEAR LONG! Thank you to the parents who helped advocate for this change. It is good for all kids. This also means that students who qualify for GT, will begin coming to GT class in November. I will keep you posted on any other changes that happen because of this new system.

Happy Dreamer
This week we are discussing different types of dreamers, positive behaviors that lead us to accomplish our dreams and identifying the type of dreamer that we are this point in our lives. We will also discuss what makes us happy and how different ethical situations add positives and negatives to our happiness. Students will do some journaling, identifying and creating with these topics of discussion.
Things Needed in the GT Classroom
- colored card stock, which I noticed is on sale at Michaels
- a Queen size white flat bed sheet (for Dot Day)
- clear small solo cups
- colored sharpies
- pennies- I want to use them as weights and I don't have enough, believe it or not.
- Legos- If you are cleaning out Legos, bring them to the GT classroom. All the ones I have are grey and black and boring.
- I made a low table for flexible seating. I would like some cushions for the kids to sit on at the low table (picture above)
- Michael's Gift Cards are always handy so I can run up there for whatever brilliant idea the kids have
- volunteers to wash the couch covers- If I had a list, I could just email those families when it is needed.
International Dot Day
Friday, September 15th, will be a school wide Spirit Day for Dot Day and that is the day to wear your dots to school.
