Your input is very important to us.  Thank you so much for your time.

 

5th Grade Explorer Theme Park Project Open House is set for Tuesday, December 8th from 5:00-6:00 at Wayside Elementary.  We hope everyone will stop by and take a look at these creative projects.

 

4th Grade Renzulli Projects have been awesome.  Look for student project evaluations coming home in December.  About half of the students have presented their projects and the others will present the first or second week of December.

 

3rd Grade Habitat Projects are almost finished.  Each student created a new species and has them posted on a private blabber website.  You can find the GATE 3rd Grade projects at

We are in the process of uploading these to the blabber site and they should be available by December 10th.  You will need to save this login and password; they are not available to the public.

 

2nd Graders have been learning PowerPoint and will be presenting their projects to the class during December.  Any parent wishing to have a copy of their child’s PowerPoint may send a blank cd with the child’s name on it or it can be sent by email if requested.
