My Students

Our school is located near one of the largest and busiest shipping ports in the world. The student population at our school is very diverse. Nearly all of the students receive free or reduced lunch. My students are part of a close knit community in a big city with a small town vibe. We are very proud of our school and the community they live in.

The gifted students at my school are very eager and hard working!

They come to school every day prepared to learn and full of enthusiasm. The students look forward to school every day with a curious mind. They finish their classwork early and are often in need of more challenges to keep them engaged!

My Project

The materials in this project will help enrich the gifted students at our school. The gifted students at our school have a strong sense of curiosity. They are enthusiastic about unique subjects and topics. These students often finish their classwork early and need more to enrich their gifted minds.

The puzzles, games, and books will make a difference in keeping our gifted students' minds engaged!

These materials will help support the learning of our gifted students. It will provide these students with more complex activities to complete that are beyond their grade level.
