"Knowledge is love and light and vision." —Helen Keller ----Mrs. Zawis' class is a place where third grade Gifted students spend one day a week working on critical thinking, social skills, scientific approach, creative expression and research methods. We learn a lot and have fun doing so! Check out what happened today in Gifted.

Monumental Research

Best GIFTED activity



My favorite GIFTED activity was when we did the Mythbusters toast expiriment. We dropped toast from a high ledge. It was buttered toast. The side it landed on the most was buttered side UP.

My Favorite Gifted Activity


The mythbusters toast was my favorite because we

got to drop toast from the 2nd floor of the school

and we also had to CLEAN it up. And it always seams

to land BUTTER side up. I would love to do that

experiment at home.


sincerely,
Lauren

TERRER! THE LAST DAY OF GIFTED!.....NOOOO!







O.K. MY FAVORATE THING THAT WE DID WAS TOTALY.....myth busters! WE GOT TO DROP TOAST FROM THE SECOND STORY OF THE SCHOOL! WEWERE TRIEING TO SEE



WEATHER TOAST WOULD PREFER TO LAND BUTTER SIDE UP OR DOWN IT TURNED OUT THAT IT MOSTLY LANDED BUTTER SIDE UP.~MADELINE
my favorite day of gifted is the day we did the trebuchet(a catapult) we shot mints,chocolate,bells and marshmallows =0) and we watched a video on the computer it showed other kids with a huge trebuchet and shot soda,watermelon,milk,flour and bolling balls and just by using weights and tennis balls.

My favorite day of gifted



My favorite day of gifted was when we built our own MYTH BUSTERS!We did a myth busters with toast to see if buttered toast always lands buttered side down.We also did a myth busters with germs to see what part of the school has the worst germs after a couple of weeks.For the buttered toast experiment it was random if it lands buttered side up or down and for the germs activity it was the water fountain that had the most germy place.It ROCKED!!!!!

It's the last day of Gifted! (BOO HOO!)


OH WHAT A WORLD! It is the last day of gifted!(Not the last day of school mind you!)I remember the good old days when we played Silly Sentences! That was my favorite thing in gifted! Man did I love firing things from that trebuchet! Oops! I almost forgot about the DESTINATION ROCK AND ROLL! Musical! I was a guy in the band Bon Jovi! I just finished making a triarama for the monument the Lincoln Memorial! Then I did a Voicethread for it. A Voicethread is a voice over for a picture, like if you take a picture of someting you can put it on the computer and do a Voicethred and BAM! You have an awesome voice over for your picture! Well since i'm done explaining things I should go back to crying then, BOO HOO! BOO HOO!
