    During the first semester, GT Specialists provide whole class lessons and small group activities designed to expose students to divergent, convergent, evaluative, and visual thinking.  Kindergarten students are provided enrichment activities throughout the school year.  The GT teacher will go into the general education classrooms providing creative and problem solving activities for students.  Kindergarten students who qualify for GT services will begin receiving pull-out instructional time after March 1.

    Identified kinder students receive Gifted and Talented services through a weekly pullout program. GT Specialists guide students through a conceptual understanding that people use self-knowledge, interest, and strengths to relate to the world around them.
