GIFTED EDUCATION P-6

Students across the Primary Campus have been getting creative with two enrichment opportunities this term. 

Gather Round is an opportunity for students displaying high potential in verbal comprehension and leadership. Giving high-potential students opportunities to work with like-minded peers has many socio-emotional benefits. Students have been given the goal of informing a student audience via a podcast about a topic and calling the audience to action with some practical tips. They have chosen their own topic based on their area of interest and the given audience. As they begin to record this week, I look forward to hearing about their various topics. 

Talent appears across five domains and we seek to give our students opportunities across those domains. Hence this term students have begun an enrichment opportunity that aims to refine artistic skills through the ‘studio habits of mind’: Develop Craft, Engage and Persist, Envision, Express, Observe, Reflect, Stretch & Explore, and Understand Art Worlds. Through this process, students will work towards creating a meaningful portrait that may then be chosen for several art competitions that will be held in early 2025.
