It's been a busy October in the AIG classroom! Some math students started an extra scoop of enrichment by creating their own "I Have....Who Has?" card game. It's exciting to see them achieve another level of success by being active designers! #aesAIG #giftedkidsrock
3G AIG students have started writing their mystery seed diaries! We used the book "Weslandia" as our anchor text. They engaged in hexagonal thinking discussions to get them thinking deeper about Wesley's adventures. I can't wait to see how they use their creativity!#aesAIG 馃馃尰鉁忥笍
Can't wait to see our Aviators at Literacy Night tonight! Our AIG students are super excited to teach their families all about hexagonal thinking and perplexors! #aesAIG #hexagonalthinking
Hexagonal Thinking never lets my gifted students down! One of my AIG groups finished theirwork sooner than expected so I took a chance and added in some Hexagonal Thinking discussion work. An easy shift that extended their thinking. 馃 #aesAIG #hexagonalthinking
Excited to spend the day learning and making math meaningful! So fortunate to be able to attend the virtual 2026 Math Summit this year with @NCState and @WCPSS. #aesAIG #giftedkidsrock
AIG students spent our ELA time becoming goal getters! First we spent time establishing a collective understanding of a growth mindset. Then we brainstormed different personal goals using our narrowing protocol. Then they wrote about how they would meet their goal. 馃専馃馃摑#aesAIG
It's been a busy (but great!) start to the new school year. We started our AIG work on the third day of school and the students came in ready to go. I am already impressed with their thinking. Here's a peek into our beginnings with data & graphing! 鉁忥笍馃 #aesAIG #giftedkidsrock
3G and 4G AIG math students have been playing "True or False?" using their data analysis knowledge and critical thinking powers. 馃挱馃馃棧锔廡hese tasks allow students to discuss & debate with their teammates while also practicing their math writing skills. #giftedkidsrock #aesAIG
3G AIG students started creating their own 2T1L puzzles using their area & perimeter knowledge. This process allows them to tap into the creative side of their brain while applying the different math concepts. #giftedkidsrock #aesAIG
It's officially official - I am a national board certified teacher! 馃帀馃コ #nbct
What a bucket filler a full teacher workday can be! 馃挋馃枻鉂勶笍PD, anchor charts, and unpacking standards using a new professional read for the win!
My 6th graders ended 2024 with amazing presentations of their middle ages summary creations. Using Frayer Models & Hexagonal Thinking was a great way to close out our December! #DDMSpantherpride 馃惥馃挋
馃ス馃憦馃徎 An early Christmas present for myself. All of my hard work, sweat, and tears last year paid off.
2nd grade 馃殌BOOST Club met before school today. We warmed up with charades & then started a new pentominoes adventure! Today we took time to explore the pieces & ways to move them into place. Students quickly caught on to applying their area & perimeter knowledge!
3rd Grade Explorers @TurnerCreekES have been using a nonfiction text about Ruth Wakefield and the invention of the chocolate chip to build their vocabulary and categorization skills. Peer discussions focused on asking for clarity and using text evidence. #tceAIG 馃惛馃
5th grade @TurnerCreekES AIG students started creating their own area model puzzles this week. These will eventually be one task in their digital math escapes. Solving puzzles is simple but creating them adds a needed layer of complexity! #tceAIG #puzzlemakers #giftedkidsrock馃馃惛
AIG @TurnerCreekES 馃惛 students are all settled into our new space. This week we made time to finalize our Q2 goals using 猸愶笍one word猸愶笍. We talked about ways to meet our goals and ways to check in on our progress. #tceAIG #giftedkidsrock
