Wow! A lot has happened since my last post, but GATE is back in session even if it is virtual. Here's what we did today:
2nd Grade - The affective lesson focused on Task Commitment. We discussed different types of motivators and how we want to get away from tangible rewards to intangible rewards when completing a task. In Crystal Pond Woods, students helped me work some logic puzzles with manipulatives. Our final discussion was about taking some materials and making something from them that would help during our pandemic.
3rd Grade - This group worked together to solve a logic elimination grid puzzle. Next, students demonstrated courage as they gave a one minute impromptu speech about a topic that was randomly given to them. In Crystal Pond Woods students played a game similar to Master Mind as another method of solving a convergent thinking puzzle. We quickly reviewed their Oklahoma Road Trip project and then said goodbye until next week.
4th Grade - This group also worked together to solve the logic elimination grid puzzle. This week's affective lesson focused on Gripe #5 of Gifted Kids, "When we finish our school work early, we often aren't allowed to work ahead." We then reviewed the Regions and Resources project they are to be completing.
