Open House

Welcome to the 2011 Open House. The students have finished a few projects and creative designs. You will be able to check out the games we use during competitions. Feel free to ask questions about the program.

Chess Tournament

Today we had a great time at the Chess Tournament. Eight schools came to Keystone to compete. Everyone played well and even impressed themselves with how well they did. Chess seems to be a favorite game among GEM students so they are sad the tournament is over. We will sporadically continue to play throughout the year, though.

A New School Year

The summer has come to an end and the new year has begun. Hopefully your child was ready and excited to start the school year. The teachers of gifted students will soon be meeting to discuss and schedule the unit of study, competitions, and field trips. You will be notified of these dates after they are decided. As always, please let me know if you have questions or concerns. I'm sure this will be a great year!

End of Year

The end of the school year has arrived. I hope everyone had a good year and heads into summer knowing they had a successful year. Congratulations and good luck to the 6th graders who are heading off to the Jr. High school. Best of luck to those students who will be moving away in the near future. I wish you all the best.

Please keep reading, practicing math facts, and making your brain work. Do fun activities outside and have a great summer!!

February

To my parents, I apologize for all the confusion. Boy, our fields trips this year have been crazy. The Spelling Bee is at the Clarion Mall on February 9th. We will be going to Union High School for Equations. Let's hope these events go as scheduled. Next month we have a few more events scheduled. Keep an eye out for details.

The Start of the Second Marking Period

It is now the start of a new marking period. I want to thank Miss Lauer for teaching during my maternity leave. I think the students had a good start to the year. We will be starting to prepare for all the upcoming competitions, such as Ling, Equations, and Chess. Happy Fall everyone! The cool weather has arrived.

See You Later, Alligator

I know I haven't been teaching the GEM classes for months now due to my new schedule, but I am always checking in on "my" students. It sure has been an interesting year, having to adjust to new teachers, and next year will bring more of the same. But... I promise to return to the classroom once my maternity leave comes to an end.

Students, keep focused until June. Enjoy your summer break and work hard for your teachers in the fall. Even when I am at home I will still keep tabs on how things are going.

See you when I see you!
