Important Dates for all GATE applicants

It was a great week & we are so thankful for each day with our students! Blessings on your weekend with family, Mrs. Fitzgerald & Mrs. Nill On Tuesday this week the PTL came into the room to drop off a cupcake for each teacher. As they came in I looked up to say thank you and as I did I had a moment where I looked around to see what we were all doing. I was on the floor with an ELA group learning to read a secret code as part of our language study, another group had a measuring tape out and were investigating using measurement strategies they had been using, and a third group was in a math discussion about possibilities for engineering a car seat. In that moment I was reminded of how blessed I am to work with such creative, different, inspirational minds in these students everyday. We get to spend the time digging into things they love and watch them apply their learning in these ahh-ha moments. Mrs. Fitzgerald and myself LOVE GATE and the students that we get to meet, grow, and learn from every year. We hope they love it as much as we do.
We were busy in all our ELA and MATH investigations this week and took plenty of pictures for you to see. Enjoy your long weekend! Blessings, Mrs. Nill and Mrs. Fitzgerald GATE Field Trip (4th-6th grade): Students do not know this yet, but the field trip that won the vote from the persuasive writing contest summer project was an Escape Room. We have looked at local escape rooms with options for their age group but unfortunately their hours during the school year are nights and weekends. We are going to keep looking but wanted to reach out to see if you know of any places or have been to any that you would recommend. We want to make this happen for them so we appreciate any input!

What feels like the longest month of the year is behind us and a fresh one has begun. Students did a great job in their gen ed classes taking their NWEA this week. That left little time in GATE so we decided to focus on application activities and what we love about being in GATE (February theme).
The student responses were really special. They included:
We truly love watching every student learn and grow and look forward to the second half of this year! |
