The Chelsea School GATE learners are off to an incredible start! Google Apps for Education account information and communication set, we took time today in the Middle School to go over the amazing possibilities provided to Middle School learners through Virtual High School (VHS). We are fortunate to have Wiscasset High School as a VHS sponsor school in the district. VHS offers fully accredited online courses to GATE Middle School students and High School students. VHS courses are dynamic and challenging. The wide offering of studies and online methods of delivery prepare young people for high school, university and learning in the 21st century. I look forward to updating you on the GATE program and VHS soon.
Chelsea School GATE learners are also using the full capabilities of Renzulli Learning. We are focused on completing a new full profile for this year and for some learners in 5th 6th and 7th grades the Renzulli Personal Success Plan (PSP). The PSP was designed to help young people, especially middle school-aged students, to think critically about their interests, heroes and career aspirations – and then create tangible goals and plans for achieving those dreams. We will use the PSP to encourage projects this year that focus on the future and current learning interests.
Reminder: Please look at The Johns Hopkins University Center for Gifted Youth Website. I would like to see SVRSU 12 represented at camps this summer.
See you all next week! Please check your Renzulli inboxes and/or your shared Google Doc for updates and ask questions as they arise in these spaces also!
GATE learners where also excited about Días de los Muertos today! Con Much Gusto!
We ended the day discussing Mindstorms!
