I was in a gifted program when I was in middle and high school. It was definitely one of the best parts of my week, actually. Not only did we do many creative and different activities, we also learned more and learned deeper about different subjects. I can still remember taking a field trip to Indian mounds after studying about all the different tribes in the US. We took back flint arrow heads, triumphant after having walked the same ground as the Indians we ahd studied of.
Mr. Tatum posted a brief article/announcement on his twitter about schools in Texas providing hands-on learning for their gifted programs. These educators find they need to "work hard to keep up with such students."
What an exciting adventure to embark upon! To provide lessons that come alive to students - that they can feel and smell and hold!
We can learn much from schools that are trying to improve themselves!
