NO gifted Lunch bunch this week or next at the Middle School. I will be off campus at Menendez periodically, as well. I am helping to give the CogAT screener to all 2^nd graders in our county. I will have access to email and Schoology message you if you need anything.

Daily updates are posted on your Gifted Schoology Page. (Parents, encourage your child to check this often as it is the main way we communicate with the students about lunch bunches and updates!)

I’m sharing my list with you on Amazon. The items on this list will be used as a part of my instruction of my gifted students. We work on both social/emotional lessons, as well as problem-solving/logic/reasoning activities. Any games, books, or supplies purchased from this list will be used for these purposes. Thank you for your contributions!! CLICK HERE
