LinguiSHTIKS

Three students participated in a LinguiSHTIKS training. This very challenging grammar game would be very tough for almost all adults. This game is making me relearn how to correctly use sentence types or structures, all uses of nouns, verbs, adjectives, clauses, prepositions, etc...

The Renaissance Fair

September 26th, 2009 Keystone Elementary's gifted class went to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Fair. All the gifted students and their families went into the fair and did all kinds of things! Like, some of them got to preform on a stage, watch a fire breather, watch a jousting match, play games and ride rides. They had good food like, giant turkey legs, corn on the cob, iced tea, lemonade, brownies, chicken, keilbasa, beans and sugar, and sinse it was so damp the sugar in the packets became one big hunk of sugar! Oh and don't forget about the gift shops! You could buy stuff like, wooden swords, fake eye patches, wooden shields, wooden barrels that could really hold water, wooden axes and toy puzzles (also wooden.) Then you could buy stuff like, cologne, air fresheners, tobacco, wine, CDs and wooden flutes. I would encourage everybody to go next year. I'll bet you'll like it and come back again the next time you get the chance.
