2nd Grade - This class learned that Discover means to see, find, or become aware of something for the first time. Together we wrote a class Code of Conduct or set of rules to follow while attending GATE class. The Successful Person of the day was George Washington who was the first President of the United States under the Constitution, but he was not the first President of the United States. For the warm up activity, students played Stories with Holes. Our theme this year is "Open the GATE to Success." The GATE to success may require us to do some Discoveries. Students were given a pretest to determine their' current understanding of the topic. The final activity was to learn more about ourselves and our team mates. We did this by taking a version of the True Colors personality inventory. With the few minutes we had left, students read a Reader's Theatre script and completed the Tangram figures that accompanied the story.

4th Grade - Today we learned that Confound means to confuse or mix someone up. The successful person was Bill Cosby who grew up poor but became a famous actor, author and humanitarian. Students successfully solved the Stories with Holes problem for the warm up activity. In order to learn a little more about ourselves, each student was given the True Colors inventory to discover their personalities. Our theme this year is, "Open the GATE to Success." In order to do that, there will need to be some exploring taking place. A pre-assessment was given to determine what students know about Explorations before we begin studying the topic. For the rest of our class time, we worked with Tangrams and completed a Reader's Theatre story.
