Dear Parents,
Welcome to the 2013 - 2014 Gifted Resource Program at Joseph Martin Elementary School. I am looking forward to working with each of you. I anticipate a "Super Year". I will attempt to foster each child's special interest. I expect each child to listen, cooperate, and do his or her best work. We will engage in the following: brainstorming, analogies, creative writing, critical thinking, problem solving, and computer research studies. All grade levels will work on simulation units. Most work will be completed in school. I am excited about these units. I am looking forward to the challenge of presenting them. The instructional goals are to: increase their knowledge base, stimulate and enhance their creativity and to think outside the box. I will send home a mid-term progress report.
Your commitment and continued interest in your child's education is very important. I appreciate your support as we inspire leaders of tomorrow. I know that working together we can ensure that your child has a fun an successful year.
I believe that frequent communication between home and school is essential. Please do not hesitate to contact me at school if you have any questions about your child. (368 - 3114)
