My Project

Gifted, talented, creative, surprising, gifted, talented!

I work with over 100 gifted and talented students in a pull-out program that allows me the opportunity to challenge them to reach their full potential.

They are highly creative and enjoy being challenged. These students require movement, and they thrive when presented with the opportunity to create, build, and explore.

This is my first year at this school and I am trying to create a comfortable learning space for my students. The room has white tile with only one area rug that is old and tattered. This room needs a makeover!

I want to provide my students with a cozy and inviting space to collaborate, read, or reflect. These designated spaces can help gifted and talented students feel more relaxed and focused, allowing them to fully engage in their learning activities. Additionally, the bookshelf will help me organize the student portfolios in one space instead of storing them in multiple places.

In summary, integrating area rugs and a bookshelf will enhance the learning experience for my gifted and talented students. Creating a cozier and inviting space for my students to collaborate will help me provide the best learning environment possible.
