I am not used to being so green at something.... I guess I should start off by telling you a little bit about myself. I am in South Florida and teach a combined class of fourth grade gifted and high achieving students. This is my 27th year (YIKES) teaching and I taught 4th grade for most of them. The past 2 years I had third grade Gifted/High Achievers, but this year am moving back to fourth. I like to give my students opportunities for discovery learning. They do a lot of research and projects, both in class and at home. In class, I usually assign group projects that involve the different learning styles so that everyone has a job to do that he or she enjoys. I enjoy the challenge of teaching these students because I have to always keep them motivated to delve deeper and push themselves to reach new goals. I would love to hear from other teachers, especially about projects and group management strategies. :)
Personally, I am married and have a beautiful 22 year old daughter. I am also the proud mom of 2 cats and grandma to 2 others....
