37 pages of material written for your gifted students to supplement Open Court, Unit 4, Beyond the Notes. There are supplemental vocabulary sheets, an engaging choice of activities for each story, tons of internet resources for intriguing research. (Personal note: This is my favorite body of work! My mind was a blank slate when I started writing these activities, but it was soon filled with these extraordinary twists and turns revolving around each story. I learned soooo much!!)

During the course of my 35-year career in education, I have always tried to bring new ideas into my classroom as well as into my school and district. For twelve years I was the teacher of the 5/6th grade GATE class (until the model was changed to cluster grouping). Over the years I was the resource person at my school for many things, but especially those things connected to the education of the gifted and talented.
I have participated in District GATE curriculum work, and have been a GATE workshop presenter and on-site facilitator for teachers who wanted to learn more about Howard�s Theory of Multiple Intelligences and how to differentiate for their gifted students. From 2000-2005, I worked as a Peer Assistance and Review Consulting Teacher with a focus on helping Volunteer Teachers differentiate for GATE.
