WHY MAKE A G/T REFERRAL
Still have referral questions?
Mrs. White's First Grade Classroom
Students in Mrs. White’s class have been busy creating a board game to go along with our Addition and Subtraction math unit. They plan to introduce this game to the class when finished. Their hope is that students will be able to play the game during math stations or free time. Additionally, students are creating comic book stories during literacy stations! They love to show their creative writing skills!
Ms. Marshall's Second Grade Class
Our class read the book The Great Fuzz Frendzy and created Marshall's Prairie Dog Town! GT kids learned about prairie dogs from a webinar from Texas Wildlife Association and drew a mural for the hallway. They also created slideshows with qr codes about species in the grassland habitat. We tied it in to social studies by identifying how prairie dogs are good citizens!
Third Graders
3rd Graders are synergizing together to create a Monster Hotel. Complete with room maps, snack menus and even a monster themed water park!
