Materials Needed ASAP!
With the flu making it's way around, we are becoming diligent about using Clorox wipes to wipe down tables, chairs, and handles each day at the end of class. If you could send us a tube or two of wipes, we'd appreciate it. We are running low!
We are also in need of craft items as we transition to making 3D models in space science. We are running out of these materials:
-craft sticks
-hot glue sticks
-modeling clay
-balloons (variety of colors)
Grit: Acrostic Style
We thought this acrostic (below) was a great reminder in how to show grit and persevere. We are still working on that last one: take time to do it right. As we move into this second semester, we will be requiring more thoughtful effort in everyday work.
GT Corner
We wanted to make sure you were informed about the organization SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of Gifted Students). You might find some helpful resources on their site:
