The gifted education program at Albertville Elementary School is called G.A.T.E. (Gifted and Talented Enrichment). Third and fourth grade identified gifted students attend gifted pullout enrichment classes 3-4 hours per week in Mrs. Adams' classroom. Students participate in concept-based units, projects and units based on students' interests, and research using the Apple technology in our classroom.

iPads in the Classroom!
Christmas in August??? That is what it felt like when Dr. Slivka told me that our GATE classroom would have a brand new iPad cart with 15 iPads for students to use in class! We are learning how to add and use apps and, of course,...we are having fun! Students have enjoyed learning how to navigate the iPads and use apps such as Dragon Dictation, Puppet Pals, iBooks, Flow, Crazy Copy, Origami, and Math Ninja. We will be using our iPads to learn new apps and create cool technology projects in class this year. How neat is it to see pictures of kids using iPads at school!?
