Thank you for your patience during this testing period that classes have been cancelled. We have added new students to the gifted program and that is always very exciting. As a result, we have switched days of the week for some classes. They are as follows:
Monday - First Grade
Tuesday - Second Grade
Wednesday - Fourth Grade
Thursday - Fifth Grade
Friday - Talent Development
We are beginning our new units and resuming our regular class schedule starting the week of January 30.
First grade will do "Stepping into Target", an introduction to the Cobb Co. gifted program. There is also a math component that I'm looking forward to teaching. This is brand new for first grade.
Second grade will be studying "Puzzled by the Past", a unit on archaeology. This is a great unit that goes into the study of archaeology as well as learning about various ancient cultures. We have a field trip scheduled for Feb. 21 that will be held at school. The Michael C. Carlos Museum has an outreach program called "Dig It" which ties in with our unit. More information will be forthcoming.
Fourth and fifth graders will be studying "Predators of the Aquatic Biome". The focus of the unit is on sharks and culminates with the dissection. There is also a field trip scheduled to the GA Aquarium on Thursday, Feb. 23. We will send home details.
I'm excited to be back to working with my students and look forward to the second half of this school year.
