I am a Gifted and Talented Facilitator in a large suburban school district. I teach enrichment classes in K-2 classrooms. Third through Fifth graders attend my classroom for differentiated enrichment lessons that meet their all high level learning needs.
I offer multiple ways for students to learn concepts. I frequently use hands on activities to help my students reinforce what they have been taught.
