Some info for our upcoming school year in GATE
3rd Grade: A new group of wonderful students began our year in August. We will learn about Growth Mindset, "What is Giftedness?", and how to think more creatively and deeply. There will be two 3rd grade classes and we meet on Thursday and Friday mornings, depending on whose class you are in. 4th Grade: We will be starting Book Buddies and learning how to write books. Students will create their own autobiography and each will help a first grader create their own. Students will visit online.seterra.com to study maps and places. Perhaps a little family history can be incorporated in their books. 5th Grade: The 5th Grade will do a unit on Leadership. Their class culminating activity will be to run the Veterans Day program scheduled in November. They will learn to plan an event, send invitations, write a script, and so much more. They will learn to problem solve on the fly during the program, or better still, prevent problems through forecasting. Students will also develop their own Leadership activity. All students work on Khan Academy to improve their math skills, on logic problems, and especially enjoy learning through games such as Kahoot, Quizlet, and Quizizz.
