Boredom my occur when there students aren't challenged or provided a chance to be creative. ]]> 2021-03-06 21:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jcasey69/82qnzp26amq7jods/wish/1277289876 I honestly had no idea that some schools treated giftedness this way. I just assumed that all schools had the awareness and understanding of gifted children in all groups. laurihenderson https://padlet.com/jcasey69/82qnzp26amq7jods/wish/1279164976 2021-03-07 18:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jcasey69/82qnzp26amq7jods/wish/1279164976 Kids cannot help the fact that they are born into poverty. As educators, we need to be aware that all groups of kiddos, no matter how rich or poor, or what color or ethnic background, all children deserve a chance to be a part of the gifted program. laurihenderson https://padlet.com/jcasey69/82qnzp26amq7jods/wish/1279167334 It breaks my heart to hear the story of Shomari.  To think, we could have students just like this in our class, students who just want a warm meal and a bed to sleep in.]]> 2021-03-07 18:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jcasey69/82qnzp26amq7jods/wish/1279167334 All kiddos are unique and have a different thought process.
