Pushing Students' Thinking

Help me give my students a chance to use logic, critical thinking and self-control to solve problems this summer instead of spending too much time on social media.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am a gifted education teacher at a local school in Memphis, TN. My students are taught a curriculum based on their needs and interest not a general curriculum that suits all. My students require activities that promote critical thinking, problem solving, creative thinking as well as exploration. These students think outside the basic grade curriculum and learn best by doing using hands-on activities. They require differentiated instruction. This project will provide my students with summer activities that will continue to stimulate their brain, requiring logical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills. This all helps to maintain cognitive function and even potentially reduce the risk of cognitive decline over the summer. These activities can improve concentration and focus allowing them to pay closer attention to details. These group of students learn differently and are very inquisitive. They enjoy problem-solving thought-provoking activities and use logical deduction and reasoning quite often in the classroom. My goal is to continue to stimulate their little minds during this summer break for development while meeting their specialize needs. Additionally, these summer activities will boost confidence while providing enjoyment and reducing screen time!
