If you have a parent of one of your gifted and talented students, and they are overwhelmed, this a tip sheet you can give them to help them!
We know that having a gifted and talented kid is not easy, but there is a lot of resources that can help parents and children to thrive.

For the units of fairy tales in second grade, a good idea is to write a letter to the author of one of your favourite fairy tales. The students need to brainstorm and plan first, then write it, and at the end they can assess themselves.

This activity can be used as enrichment or to expand the topic! Gifted Students might enjoy it!

Gifted and Talented Education is a wonderful topic! These students need differentiated curriculum in order to meet their needs, interests and abilities. GATE children needs to go beyond the learning standards!

This is why I created this differentiation matrix that has different activities and assessments in the unit of life cycle. You can see the differentiation by readiness, interest and learning profile in the content, process and products.

Hope you can help your gifted students thrive!
