We had a fabulous day in gifted today! Our 15 first graders spent the day learning the routines and expectations for our class. We also spent some time getting to know all of our unique classmates when we completed and shared our "All About Me" page. We read a book called "If I Were a Noun" and played a noun guessing game. Ask your child to play it with you! "Line Designs" were made after discussing the art element of line and reviewing vertical, horizontal, and parallel lines. After asking the class what a scientist looked like I received answers like: "they have a white coat", "they have black shoes", "they have brown hair." The students were then told if they wanted to know what a scientist looked like they needed to look around them. We are all scientists! We are curious about the world around us, we have questions and we make guesses and we experiment all the time to find out how things work. The students took part in a little science lab discovering colors. Overall it was a great first day of gifted for the year! Thank you for sending your child to gifted prepared and for all of the generous donations of supplies I we recieved! Don't forget to send in your child's digital release form so that I can begin posting pictures next week!
