There are two buses that travel that six schools to pick up children and transport them to and from Lowell Elementary. The buses are scheduled to arrive at the Lemp Street bus stop (south of Lowell Elementary) at 9:15a and pick the students up to return to their neighborhood schools at 1:55p. Parents may arrange with their neighborhood school to drop off their student at the Lemp Street bus stop at 9:15a, if desired. There is a bus stop attendant at the Lemp Street stop from 8:45-9:15a, and I pick up the children to go inside at 9:15a.
Come visit me and see the classroom before school gets started!
The theme of 3rd grade GATE is Transformation. We'll be exploring change from every angle: why do things change? how do things change? when is change important? how do we cope with change?
The GATE classroom is FULLY STOCKED with standard classroom supplies such as scissors, glue, paper, and art supplies. Students do not need to bring any supplies from home, and there is not space for students to store supplies in the GATE classroom. Students may bring their own supplies, but they must take them home with them each week.
This year, many teachers in the Boise School District will be using the metaphor of The Learning Pit to help students describe their stage in the learning process. I am excited to extend this resource to the GATE classroom, especially as a way to explain the importance of challenge (and empathy) as a GATE student.
All grade levels will be using passages and adaptions from 101 Success Secrets for Gifted Kids to start discussions about navigating the world with grace and empathy as a gifted kid.
As we begin our school year and face new challenges, we are seeking new ways to enrich your child's education both in person and virtually.
