Ms Gabrielli flying a classroom drone!
Welcome!
Welcome!
I am so excited to meet you all in a few short days! I had a wonderful summer catching up with family and friends, and I have been busy setting up our fun GATE classroom at Lowell Elementary Room 203!
This summer I also learned to fly and program drones, which will be making an appearance in our classroom this year! Some of you will just be seeing them fly, and others will get the opportunity to program your own drone choreography!

GATE Supplies
GATE Supplies
In order to minimize sharing materials and provide the safest environment possible, we will be asking each student to provide the following materials for their own personal use in the GATE classroom. Please bring these on your first day of GATE. If providing these materials would be difficult for you, please reach out, and I can discreetly provide your child with the materials.
Scissors
Package of 12 pencils
Pink Eraser
Box of Markers or Crayons
1 Black Pen
Maker Box (See directions below)
Students can provide their own pencil pouch to put supplies in or they will be provided with a zip bag with their name on it.
What is the Journey of an Idea?
What is the Journey of an Idea?
First and Second Graders will spend their first quarter of the school year exploring the theme of innovation. We will be learning about ideas and the journey they take while spending time on our own "tinkering." To help facilitate this learning, they will be using their Maker Boxes. Please watch the video below to find out what a Make Box is and how to help your child create one!

Habits of Mind
Habits of Mind
Throughout your child's GATE experience we will be focusing on developing Habits of Mind. Habits of Mind are dispositions that are skillfully and mindfully employed by characteristically intelligent, successful people when confronted with problems, the solutions to which are not immediately apparent. When we draw upon these mental resources, the results are more powerful, of higher quality, and of greater significance than if we fail to employ those habits. For more information on Habits of Mind, check out the video below!
