GT Program: September 2007 Archives

Introduction

I am thrilled to be here at Sea Road School. I have been a part of the MSAD 71 Gifted and Talented Education Service (GATES) team for the past two years working from Kennebunkport Consolidated School (KCS). Prior to KCS, I was on the GATES team in Cumberland/North Yarmouth. Although I will miss the students, families, and staff at KCS, I feel privileged to be working at this school. I appreciate the warm welcome to Kennebunk. I look forward to the work ahead and to meeting more families in the upcoming weeks. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. Thanks! Erin Neale

Challenge of the Week

Each week we will be putting out a math challenge to the students of SRS. The purpose of the challenge is for students to have fun and recognize math all around. It offers an opportunity for students to take a different look at math. Students should seek help from friends, siblings, parents, and anyone else who is willing! If one problem becomes frustrating, it is all right to go on to the next problem. This is meant to be a voluntary activity and students may participate as often as they would like. A record is kept of the students who participate throughout the year and those who consistently hand in COWs will receive a certificate at the end of the year.

The challenges will be available each Thursday and due back no later than the following Tuesday. With each week's challenge you will find the answers to the previous week's challenge on the back. The questions primarily come from Continental Math League questions for 4^th and 5^th grade students. Hand the COWs into Mrs. Neale or your teacher. Good Luck! Have Fun!

Sea Road School will once again have a 5^th grade team. We will compete against other schools in Southern Maine. I have been going into the 5^th grade classrooms to discuss the math team with students and answer any questions that they have about the team. Students are asked to sign up outside of my classroom this week if they are interested.
Although there are 4 meets during the year, I am letting students know that I cannot guarantee that I will be able to take everyone to the meets. During practices students will be given tasks from past meets and the highest performing students will attend the meets. Practices will be held once a week during school hours.
