CURRICULUM
The goal of
a Gifted and Talented program is to respond to the
individual needs and interests of students whenever
possible. Therefore, while the curriculum outlines are
good examples of the type of program that is taught,
individual units of study may change from year to year
in order to offer the optimum challenge to students.
MATH:
Students will be
engaged in problem solving, student-directed
explorations of geometry, algebra, computation and
economics. Units of study will often result in a
creative product with real-life learning applications.
LANGUAGE ARTS:
Students will read,
write and work on thematic units that involve individual
creativity and critical thinking. Several units will use
art as a basis for exploring literacy.
EXAMPLES:
A fifth grade
math class created everyday objects using a 1:12
scale after hearing Gulliver’s Travels by
Jonathan Swift.
This unit required accurate measurement of area
and perimeter of shapes, and a written narrative
of mathematical steps.
A third grade
language arts class read The Twits by
Roald Dahl.
Each student chose
a final project that showed their understanding
of, and ability to create, an exaggerated
character.
