However, I will be doing advanced writing with grades 1/2 and 3/4 twice a week. So I had to re-think some things. But I came up with some ideas. I have a lot of ideas for the 3/4, but 1/2 is a little tougher. I am interested to see how it goes. I have a feeling I will have to be flexible - I am sure I'll be re-thinking and changing things as we go. Don't suppose you have any reading/writing ideas for 1/2 grades?

Thanks,

If you don't mind, I would like to get your opinion.

At the school my children go to, I am being given the opportunity to start advanced reading/math classes. The kids will be chosen by grade and by teacher recommendation from gr 3-8. Although I don't have all the details, I imagine that there will really only be 3-4 max per grade, and I think they will probably be scheduled together 3/4, 5/6, 7/8.

I *think* I will be meeting with these kids M-F, which I feel is a fantastic opportunity. While I recognize that many of the students will likely be "bright" rather than "gifted" what are the most important things you would do as a teacher in this situation?

I am working on a blog that I will post later today about what my plans are so far, if you are interested. I really want to make the most of this.

Thanks,
ceego

At 9:06am on January 7, 2008, Tonya Witherspoon said…: Ahhh, the online community you're referring to might be the Davidson Institute. I lead 2 sessions for scholars and 1 for parents each year. The scholars that I usually work with at Davidson are young - 8-12ish.

We've had a bunch of interesting students, many attend the IB program at East high. They are required to do community service and they get very creative with their activities. My husband is teaching ACT/SAT/AP prep courses online. All of the classes that I teach currently are F2F.

You have given some great advice on how to work within a school district to create a site that can be a resource for students and parents. I would like to keep track of you and use you as a sounding board for questions as we begin the process of trying to build our own gt website here in Junction City.

Since you have an interest in primary sources, are you familiar with the Gilder Lehrman Institute? It's a large collection of primary documents relating to American History, many of them accessible online. gilderlehrman.org. They also sponsor fellowship seminars for teachers of American History. I attended one on the American Revolution at NYU this summer -- it was great.

Incidentally, this isn't a subgroup of CR2.0. While I am an active member there, this is a network on its own. However, I will concede that while I'd been talking/thinking about something like this for over a year for the g/t community, my participation in CR2.0 inspired me to think I could be the one to start this for the G/T crowd. No biggie. :)

Three years ago I saw this picture in Newsweek magazine. I was so enthralled by the picture I emailed the Dutch photographer, Reinout van den Bergh, and ask him for permission to use the photo in a workshop I was presenting. His Dutch agent, Arjen Duijts, gave his permission then and has given his permission again to use the image in our blog.

From student blog:
Look at this boy in Cameroon, Africa and think about what you see. Think about how this boy must live. Once you have considered the life this boy must lead, look at the item in his hand that he has made out of mud. What do you think it is? What does this picture say about our society. Write your blog entry after thinking for a few minutes.

Old School Images

I love using primary sources in the classroom. When I was designing my students' blog site header I found tons of pictures of "old" classrooms. When I was a kid (in the mid-50s) there were 35 students in my elementary classes. I've had people tell me than in their parochial elementary classes there would be 50 students! When I first started teaching in 1971, I had 36 fifth graders in my class and didn't think a thing
