Are YOU Getting Enough Sleep

You may be tempted to stay up late and play video games or read while you have time off.  But are you putting in your time and getting enough sleep, too?  I found a few articles that you can read and think about your sleep and how it helps you.  

For 6th grade and up students: Generation Zzzzz

For 2nd - 5th grade students: Why All Kids Need Sleep

Try filling out a sleep journal to track your sleep such as the ones here:

Enjoy your extra rest students.  Sleep is an important part of staying healthy!

Scavenger Hunt!

If you are able to head outside you might consider doing a scavenger hunt like this one.  You could also make your own scavenger hunt and if you have a phone you can even snap photos of your finds.  

Or if you are staying indoors you can search for these items inside your home.  Again you could snap a picture with your phone.  If you have a sibling you can even make is a contest!  
Have fun and be creative!  You can make your own scavenger hunt today!

Stay well everyone.  Hope to see you all soon!

Hello Gifted Kids! Tell me what you are doing at home on Spring Break 2020


Made with Padlet

Learning Activities Blog- Spring Break 2020

Dear Students and Families, 

I know this break was unexpected and many of you might be home without books or learning activities.  I am going to post here 3 times a week throughout our extended Spring Break.  No activities are required, but I will respond to anyone who completes one of the activities!  You can comment here or in the case of a padlet you can leave a comment.  If parents or students need to contact me, you can contact me by email.  


I look forward to seeing what my amazing gifted students can do.  

I wish you all health and patience during this trying time.

Sherlock Holmes Meets the Bully of Baker Street

Today the 3rd and 5th graders at LMM had the opportunity to watch a play called "Sherlock Holmes Meets the Bully of Baker Street".  In this play, we see our smart young heroine, Vicky.  Vicky meets Sherlock Holmes and a cast of characters who lead Vicky and Sherlock on a caper to discover an art thief.  The play was well received by the students.  It was such a pleasure to watch a classic brought to life!
