GT mid-year evaluations will be going home with kiddos the middle of January, so please look for these and we'd love to hear back from you. How are we doing? Your input helps us strengthen our GT program.
8th Grade Silhouette Activity
8th grade GT students chose someone who exemplified their passion and created a silhouette that included details of who that person is, what their passion is and why they find it so fascinating.
7th Graders Researched Spanish Missions
The class gathered into 5 groups mirroring the 5 different Spanish Missions in the San Antonio area. They were asked to research the site, find 5-8 pictures that represent different views and qualities of the facility. Then they were directed to create descriptive captions that discuss various facets of the Mission itself to use as captioning and narrative in their presentation. Finally, oral presentations were made to the class. Enjoy the following sample of one of our groups.
There is a follow up in progress where students will create a 3D representation of the Mission their group worked on. They get nearly total creative control over what that product looks like.
7th Grade Reflections Challenge
For the last Rachel's Challenge activity, the 7th grade GT kids were challenged to take a photo of an art students' work hanging in the 900 hallway and explain in exactly 50 words how it represents compassion to them. Most worked in partners with some working independently. Enjoy the following samples of some of their work.
6TH GRADE GT TACKLES RED RIBBON WEEK
6th grade GT students worked together in groups to come up with an Anti Bullying or Anti Drug commercial, song, skit or other product to share their views during Red Ribbon Week. Nice job sharing positive messages!
Holiday PBL Projects Keep 6th Graders Busy
An exciting holiday PBL project has the 6th grade GT students acting as advertising agencies to create fundraisers for clubs here at NBMS. They are asked to create either Holiday Greeting Cards or Holiday Baked Goods to use in their final advertisement. These will be presented the week before benchmarks. Yum! We all want invitations:)))
NBMS/ORMS GT Showcase is scheduled for Wednesday, April 25, 2018. GT students from both campuses will spend the day sharing their hard work and displaying projects for their peers to critique. They will enjoy a meal together and begin building GT friendships. Parents are invited to join us from 2:00-3:30 at NBMS to view and enjoy the student projects. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
