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.

School Board Appreciation Month
January was School Board Appreciation Month. Mrs. Sheets enlisted the help of a few of our students to help create snow-themed trees of appreciation. Our AES gift was presented by Mrs. Sheets at the board meeting last month.
We created one of our "Catching Snowflakes" pictures for each of the board members. Little did we know those pictures were predicting the future! Last week's snow was gorgeous! I thought of the students and this art work as the huge snowflakes were falling! Along with the Catching Snowflakes art, students created winter branches. Each mini-tree was wintery white with snowflakes hanging from the branches. Students wrote words of appreciation on the snowflakes. Kind, generous, brave, splendid, capable, and dynamic were a few of the words written. I agree with these students! Our school board members spend countless hours discussing and making decisions that affect the daily lives of students and teachers in Albertville. We appreciate their guidance in making our school system a safe, happy, outstanding place to work and learn!
Thank you, school board members!
