GATE Testing, Matthew's bag, and Garrett Rocks...or should it be Garrett's Rocks?

Most of our morning was led by Mrs. Wheeler as she gave us the SOI, the Structure of the Intellect - our GATE test. I think most of the class really enjoyed taking it. Mrs. Wheeler made it fun...and even a bit silly during our breaks! Here are some photos of the class singing and clapping with her.



Matthew shared his bag today. He showed us one of his caps...he said he collects them. He also showed us a little notebook/journal, a cool little car, and his camera. He said he loves to take pictures and does it all the time. So he took some photos of Room 8...and I took a picture of him taking a picture!

Garrett brought in some rocks to share. We're loving all this rock sharing. Even if we don't know what kind they are (Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic), we can still appreciate a cool looking rock!

In regard to the GATE test: Once all the 4th graders have been tested, the tests are then sent off to Oregon to be scored. Once the scores are in, Mrs. Wheeler will contact you if you're child scored in the gifted range.
