11 Developing Gifted Social/Emotional and Academic Skills in a K-Fifth Gifted Community
Gifted learners kindergarten through fifth grade come together each day in a school environment to develop social/emotional, collaboration, and communication skills through structured activities. The gifted teacher facilitates the safe learning environment where students can build positive relationships with intellectual peers. Students develop their own learning activities to share with others: logic puzzles, Cartesian coordinate pictures, pattern block pictures that teach math concepts and reasoning, and many other activities of interest to each child. Through these activities, they develop relationships and develop social and emotional skills. Learn how to set up a gifted community of elementary learners in your school or community.
