My Students

Our district team travels from school to school to teach all secondary Gifted and Talented students in a low-income district with little funding. The students come from many different backgrounds. We live in a military community. These students are focused and bright. They are determined to learn.

Gifted students are tomorrow's leaders, inventors, problem-solvers, and creators.

Providing them with opportunities to think critically and collaborate is essential for their success and gives them opportunities to be more college and career ready!

My Project

Gifted and talented students need fun and innovative experiences to challenge their bright minds. Not only will these activities be exciting to manipulate, but they will also encourage students to work together to achieve a common goal.

Learning happens more quickly if students have hands-on experiences.

Snap Circuits, DaVinci Challenge, and Gravity Maze are games that stimulate parts of the brain that go unused in everyday learning experiences. These games will be set up as stations in the classroom. Students will move from station to station using a variety of skills to accomplish tasks

Offering hands-on learning activities in our classroom will benefit all types of learners by providing opportunities for them to observe as well as perform. Hands-on learning can also expose students to challenges and obstacles they might encounter on the job.
