SPR GATAS S'more Newsletters Vol. 2 Issue 4
Our SPR GATAS 5 have finished amazing research about their heritage. They would like to share their projects on February 8-LaForge & Powell, or February 9-Cook & New from 1:30-2:15. Students are now working on grammar and sentence structure, novel studies, Mystery Skype, Scratch coding and code.org. They are beginning a unit on ratios and proportions.
Students will be bringing home their MESAS science and math contest.
Our SPR GATAS 4 students have been Mystery Skyping as well. They are finishing up their M3Math unit with understanding "leftovers" in multiplication and division. They will have a visitor next Wednesday to explore robots. They will be beginning a novel study soon. They also will be bringing home information about the MESAS Science contest.
Our SPR GATAS 3 students have been comparing ancient number systems from long ago and now they are truly engaged in a novel study of science fiction. They have started using Google classroom like the older students. They really love learning their Caesar's English with all the games we play.
All of our GATAS units are infused with Wm. and Mary Literature best practices for gifted students.
Keep on Studying Caesar's English! You will have prodigious knowledge and sagacity!

Mystery Skype & Mystery Number is Back!
This is one of the best way to ready our students as a 21st century graduate. They use many problem solving skills, social skills, along with geography, math, technology, language arts, history to figure out where their Mystery Skype partner is located.
We could use some South Carolina road maps, if anyone has some to spare. Thank you!
