Activities of the gifted class
The gifted class is currently working on a project for Toshiba Exploravison.
They are working in teams of 3's or 4's and redesigning or improving upon some
technology that exisists and creating a prototype of their new
invention. They are researching their chosen technology to find out who invented
it, when it was invented, how it was invented and why it was invented
They are also creating a storyboard to explain their project.
We can't tell you the ideas yet, so look forward to looking for these
ideas in January when the class presents their project.

presentation program, we are also learning how to use the animals, and adam and will be looking forward to using the computer lab this month for other programs.
Extra credit projects include-the BCfair projects and the AIDS poster contest.Coming up will be the week of the oceans projects.

We also complete chapter maps. We are currently looking for guest speakers and are planning a field trip.We have participated in many contests and have a first place winner in the International Week of the oceans contest in the middle school art category. We are looking forward to participating in the science fair and week of the oceans competition along with many other competitions.
