Welcome back to AES GATE!

Welcome to 2012-2013!  I hope everyone had a terrific summer and is looking forward to a great school year!  We have 15 new additions to our class....15 new iPads!  I am so excited!  Every student will now have a MacBook and an iPad to use while in the GATE classroom!  The possibilities are endless and I am thrilled to have this great, updated technology in our classroom!

Our essential concept this year will be TALENTS.....searching for your own and valuing those of others!  We will explore different ways to learn more about ourselves:  our personalities, our learning styles, our interests, our talents, and ways to share our gifts with others.  Students will be creating art in the next two weeks to reflect a little bit about their own personalities.....check back for pictures soon!

I am very excited that Albertville City Schools will be hosting the "Gifted Teacher Share Fair" for North Alabama on November 16, 2012 at AES.  Gifted teachers from different areas of Alabama will be at our school to share about their gifted programs and learn from each other.  I can't wait for them to see our school, meet some of our Ambassadors, and feel a part of the GREAT Albertville City School System!

Welcome to GATE....we have exciting adventures ahead this year!
