As promised in the January calendar I sent home, I am finally sharing some good resources for gifted kids - activities to do at home, websites, games, etc. I will continue to post resources and ideas through the month of February, so that you will hopefully have a plethora of ideas to try at home with your gifted child! I will also include some resources for parents of gifted children.
This week's focus is online resources. Here are some great websites that I have found:
http://www.adifferentplace.org/index.html - contains MANY high quality activities created by a gifted teacher especially for g/t students. This could be used by students at home, as well as by the teacher at regular school as a method of differentiating instruction.
www.hoagiesgifted.org/brain_teasers.htm - lots of problem-solving activities and games
www.mathplayground.com - math games, logic puzzles, etc.
www.freetypinggame.net - Of all of my third and fourth graders, only a few know how to type (the correct way). This site features many FREE games to learn typing skills.
http://42explore.com/pottery.htm - 3rd graders are in the process of learning about pottery in ancient Greece. This site includes lots of links to kid-friendly info. and activities.
http://www.schoolsliaison.org.uk/kids/greecepot.htm - We used this cool site in class to make our own Greek pots! Very neat!!!
http://library.thinkquest.org/J002767/index.htm - a WebQuest about knights, our current fourth grade topic of study in our "Those Who Fight" rotation.
These are just a few; many more to come later! Visit our site often for new postings!! :)
