• 1-2-3 Sanitize Me!

  Funded Aug 25, 2023

  We are so excited about setting up our new Sanitizing Station. The weather is so unpredictable that we need to practice good hygiene. The cold and flu season is right around the corner! We can visit the station, do what needs to be done then return to our seat without spreading germs.”

• A+ Ready Readers!

  Funded Feb 10, 2023

  My students will be able to read books about famous people during Black History month who look like them. These books are at a grade level where (I believe) they will read them from cover to cover. This is fantastic news for all my GT students at every grade level!”

• "Magic" Books

  Funded Mar 2, 2022

  Thank you so much for your support of my K-5 Gifted and Talented classroom. My classroom library has been upgraded with new "magic books" written about inventors/innovators, leaders, educators, orators, musicians, and other careers to help with their at-home research. The look on my students faces when I introduced them to their new "magic books" were absolutely priceless. I constantly remind them of our motto: "excellent academics and excellent behavior." Their learning light bulbs turned on, and they were even more excited to complete their projects because of their new materials.”

• "Mighty" Mathematicians

  Funded Aug 10, 2022

  My students are getting excited about the new materials! These resources will give their math problem-solving strategies a daily "make over". Writing in their journals will help them justify their answer choice. This step-by-step approach will ensure my students get a better understanding of the "right" answer.”

• Coding With Hopscotch

  Funded Sep 1, 2021

  After the students played a regular game of hopscotch outside on the black top and inside on the new colorful hopscotch rug, they were ready to take on the new game: Coding with Hopscotch.

  Using the Let's Go Code Activity Set, they had to learn the coding rules in order to capture the robot. This strategy was quite different from placing two feet or one foot in a square. They had to follow the code signs: move forward, turn right and turn left!

  It was so much fun seeing them discuss and design movement techniques needed to play Coding with Hopscotch even on a rainy day!”

• Money Power!

  Funded Sep 30, 2021

  Now that my students understand the value of money, they were introduced to spending money. The Pay Day game exposes them to household finances: buying groceries, fix the car, pay the doctor and start their own business. They will exposed to real world expenditures to help them answer the question: Where does my money go?

  The action takes place on a monthly calendar printed on the game board. They learn how their money is spent each day. One of the most important concepts for playing the game is bills must be paid. If you don't have enough money, sometimes you have to get a loan. This same financial strategy is included in a business plan.”

• Classy Independent Projects

  Funded Dec 12, 2019

  Students enrolled in the GT program create independent projects each semester. In-class research and project design require pair/share activities for students using dry erase boards to help them make necessary changes to the project before turning in the final project.

  After changes are made, students are able to use tri-fold and/or science boards to display each grade-level project they completed at home. During our yearly GT Fair, administrators, staff members, parents and the entire student body are invited to view these outstanding independent projects.”
