I have the honor of teaching the gifted and talented program in our district. One of my favorite things about teaching this group is how they tend to be experts in one area or another. While one student knows nearly everything about animals, another student knows most everything about technology.
My students are high achieving and high level students that greatly enjoy enrichment in our gifted and talented program.
I strive to vary the enrichment offered in order to speak to those that have a great deal of strength in that area as well as introduce something new to others. One of the most difficult things about teaching this amazing group of students is not only finding those topics that speak to the various students but also funding those new topics.
My Project
It is a fact that students learn best when they are learning in a hands-on environment. By combining math and art, I find that students are engaged and learning comes naturally. Using string art ornaments, we will introduce geometry. Coding will be introduced with an art project utilizing the beads and pipe cleaners.
Distance learning is tough especially when you are young and you are required to do everything on-line.
Since our students can't come to us, we are going to them! We are delivering thematic STEAM bags to their porches every month to all 117 of our K-8th grade students.
We believe that providing detailed lessons with ALL of the required supplies will engage our students and provide meaningful lessons.
