My Project

Gifted learners are individuals who have exceptional abilities in one or more areas, such as language, reasoning, or the arts. They may also demonstrate creativity, task commitment, and a strong memory. Each day it is my goal to foster these skills while enriching grade-level content. My scholars are eager to learn and their eyes light up at the thought of learning something new!

Whether it is a genius hour project, CSI unit, or the history of puppets, my scholars need materials to make learning come to life.

I am requesting games, units, and resources to build relevant and rigorous units that engage all of my scholars. The hands on materials will foster creativity while the others will build their critical thinking muscles. With these materials I will build units that will create memories that last a lifetime.
