This week the 4th graders reflected on their work in GATE over the last semester and set goals for next semester. They answered a series of questions on their digital portfolios to help them lead a parent-student conference at your convenience before the start of 2nd semester. I will reach out if there are any problems I am noticing with a student in GATE, but feel free to shoot me an email or call if you have any specific questions or would like to hear nice things about your child!

After answering their reflection questions, the 4th graders were instructed to practice presenting their work with a classmate before resuming work on their poetry memorization challenge. 

In the afternoon, we got the treat of a question and answer discussion with Dr Lauren Williamson, and assistant professor at Northern Kentucky University! It was so cool to get to ask her everything we could think of about the brain and her research. She even showed up a human brain and a rat brain!

This was the last GATE class of the semester. I'm excited to start our work with bridges in January! Thank you for a great first semester!
