Virtual Orientation Presentation 

Welcome to our Second Grade Gifted Cluster Class.

I aim to create an innovative learning environment which will challenge which will your children to become confident, critical and creative problem solvers who recognize their strengths and utilize them to the fullest.  In recognizing their unique talents and abilities, I want each student to have the opportunity to find their passions, fufill their curiosities, reach their true academic potential and develop a love of learning.  We will work on all of our Second grade skills along with many additional enrichment activties to generate in depth research projects of choice, real world problem solving and expand their creative nature.  

We will be working to create a well maintained city in our classroom where each student takes on roles and responsibilities as a citizen.  They will each have their own checking account and will earn a salary which could also include bonuses or even possible fines based on the rules and expectations we develop together.  Students will be able to use their hard earned money to purchase from a student driven "Specials" list which will include items and activities to expand their growth within the class/city.

The chosen by our class citizens-

1.  Be kind.

2.  Always do/try your best.

3.  Help others learn.

4.  Stay safe

5.  Raise your hand to share and wait patiently for your turn.
