First grade students in our Gifted & Talented Program held their showcase today where they presented information on their last project of the year. For the project, each student selected an animal to research. The students made a booklet about their animal that included what country they live in and what food they like to eat. Along with the booklet, the students also made a powerpoint presentation with information on their animal. Mrs. Jennifer McIntosh is the teacher for our GT Program.
Kindergarten students in our Gifted & Talented Program held a showcase this morning and gave a presentation on what they had learned while studying the water cycle. The students presented information on rainbows, the different type of clouds and on how the water cycle works. They also made cloud viewers to help them focus on clouds and know what type of cloud they were viewing. Mrs. Jennifer McIntosh is the teacher for the GT Program.
