Science, Technology and Math at GDE
We believe that Science, Technology and Mathematics are vital to our future- the future of our country, the future of our region and most importantly to the future of our students. Students will learn and understand mathematics, science and technology under our Choice program. We will engage our students with the following:
Science- In every classroom, every day! Our students will learn that Science is our natural world. Students will conduct hands-on science experiments. Students will complete science projects and have the opportunity to display their projects.
Mathematics- In every classroom, every day! Our students will understand and learn that mathematics can be applied to real world situations. Our students will be engaged with learning how to apply/use mathematics at the grocery store, the bank and with their personal budgets. Students will know that mathematics is important because it encompasses every aspect of our lives.
Technology- In every classroom, every day! In today’s world, technology means computers and smartphone, but it also goes back to television, radio, microscopes, telescopes, and the compass. Our students will be exposed to technology via Smart Board, projector, document cameras. Students will learn how to effectively use technology as it will be part of the daily classroom routine. Our students will have full access to the school’s computer lab.
Gifted Services at GDE
The Gifted Program is an enrichment curriculum to stimulate and encourage creative learning for students. Students in Gifted Class have unique opportunities to receive a participatory and experimental approach to learning. The students achieve hands on levels of learning and knowledge not available in text books.
In order for a child to be in the Gifted Program, they must be first recommended to the guidance office by their teacher or parents can request testing. Your child's homeroom teacher is your first point of contact at the school. Once they are recommended, they will be tested to see if they qualify for gifted services.
