What it means to me to be gifted.

This week it is Gifted Awareness Week.  To me, being gifted means to be talented in a area or subject but maybe not everything  For example:  Mr Einstein was gifted in science because he discovered the theory of relativity.  I think I'm talented in maths and spelling for my age but I'm not so keen on writing.  I like coming to Enrich because they do literacy and writing but in a different way to school.  For instance, school does writing in our writing books, but at Enrich we do typing instead and we are given the chance to attend writer workshops in small groups that focus on different areas to improve our writing.  At school, reading is done in groups with reading books, but at Enrich reading is included in most things we do and presented in a variety of ways.  Enrich is an opportunity of a lifetime and I'm glad I took it.

  1. Hi Katie. I always enjoy reading your posts and finding out what you are doing at enrich. The class and I particularly enjoying trying to solve the rebuses you bring back.
    I love a challenge.
    Reading your thoughts about reading and writing has set me to wondering about how I could further motivate our class in these areas.mmmm... Thanks for that.
