Enrichment Forms!

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend!

By Wednesday, I will have handed out all forms pertaining to our Gifted Program to your kiddos. Please look those over, sign them, and send them back my way by Friday!

I greatly appreciate it!

In class, we have been exploring the importance of communication. We created a list of communication guidelines for a successful conversation. Some of our guidelines include: eye contact, positive body language, appropriate tone of voice, listening fully, ask follow up questions, etc. Many misconceptions and disagreements stem from issues with communication, which will be discussed throughout the year.

We are also beginning to explore our interests and strengths. From there, we will eventually pick our first research topic! Each student will select a topic of interest to research and present to the class.

Please feel free to e-mail if you have any questions or concerns!

Gifted Meeting 8/24

I greatly appreciate all of you who were able to come out and learn more about the Gifted Program here at HMS! I hope that you found it informational and helpful when thinking about your child and his/her journey through middle school.

If you were unable to attend, we missed you!
 I will be sending home some paperwork and handouts with your child in the next few days. Please fill them out and return them as quickly as possible! I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the forms, handouts, or anything pertaining to the Gifted Program!
