Gifted Education

It is late on this Monday night. I find that the Summer time, which should be a time for a break, ends up being when I do the most random odd jobs and try the most different experiences. As a result, I have to remind myself to do the things that I want to do instead of the things that randomly crop up that I end up doing.

So - now after pressure washing the front porch, doing a bit of working out, getting the kids to bed, and a number of other experiences, I am tired and know I need to write just a bit before going to bed.

I've started my first class involving gifted education today. This is in preparation to get fully gifted certified. The class this summer is about the emotional needs of gifted students. As I read through the documents and such I am reminded of myself as a middle schooler - in the gifted program. I never had the chance to experience a gifted high school program. I have to wonder what it will be like to see these kids grow into adults through their high school experience. How does gifted express itself in the older grades?

I will write more tomorrow. For today, I am about to pass out.

Good night.

Mr. E.
