I have begun to develop a blog for students and teachers that is available at

VERBAL STUDENTS:
If you know that you have a music lesson scheduled during Verbal time, ask your music teacher if
you can have your lesson with another class. You should NOT be missing Verbal for music. If your
teacher has scheduled a test or other activity during Verbal, you must come to class and then
make up the classwork at another time. Thank you for your cooperation.

I have added a link on the "Links" page for the New Jersey Association for Gifted Children.
Their Web site is http://www.njagc.org/index.php. This is an excellent place for parents to
begin learning more about gifted children, and what resources are available for them. I
encourage you to take a look at this resource.

Here is a link to Scholastic Book's site, where you can list your grade level or topic, and it
will give you your own suggested reading list!

For those 4 TAG students who would like to see their HyperStudio projects at home, you may print
out your project in class. HyperStudio is no longer available online as a "read-only" product.

Verbal students can find reading lists on the Photos/Docs page.

For those who want to find out more about Gifted Education, I have added a link on the "Links"
page to the University of Connecticut's NEAG Center for Gifted Education.
