Soaring Through Our Nine Weeks

ETC has been off to a great start. The first few weeks were spent on identification.

We now pull out a small group of second graders for 150 minutes a week. Another change is our 30 minute push in classes that are once a week with all of the students in 3-5. We will continue to have our K-2 push in classes as well. These enrichment classes last thirty minutes and gives us a chance to spot students who may need referred to our program and to give all students a chance to be exposed to gifted type lessons and challenges.

|Second Grade: Mexico |

|Second graders chose to study and learn more about Mexico. They are very excited and|

|many fun projects are planned. They may even learn a little Spanish along the way! |
