Week of February 6th to 10th

The students are currently working on public speaking skills.  Many students recently presented the results of the “Mock Election” to the North Schuylkill School Board. Currently, we are planning to interview Superintendent Dr. Robert Ackell.  This involves studying interview techniques and researching the superintendent position and a brief biography from Dr. Ackell.  The interview will be on February 28th.

A field trip to the high school to observe some higher level classes is currently being planned.  The tentative date is March 1, 2017.  I will be posting more information soon.

The elementary gifted support students will be sending a team to the K’Nex challenge at Intermediate Unit 29 in Pottsville on March 23.  All the students will be helping with the challenge with a team of 4 attending the competition. 

We are also planning a trip to the Intermediate Unit’s new Maker Space.  This is a new area at the IU that offers resources to further explore topics like Art & Music, Coding & Robotics, Electricity, Science, and Mathematics & English Language Arts.  This space has just recently become available, and we will be visiting in the near future.
