About Gifted Education and Dr. O'Kain
Students and parents,
We are thrilled to dive into our theme for this year: "Interactions." This theme will guide our exploration of the dynamic relationships in the world around us. We aim to foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. For all grades will continue Math problem solving, WordMasters (analogies) and independent research projects. We look forward to a year of growth, learning, and discovery, and we are grateful for your continued support and involvement. Let's make this year truly exceptional!
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns.
It's going to be an AMAZING year!
